“It was extremely difficult to process the saddest hello and goodbye I have ever had to endure,” she wrote. “Last Sunday night, November 24, 2024, I welcomed your emaciated 4 lb 8 oz 18.5 long little body at 11:38 p.m. The shocking and quick arrival didn't even give mom time to get an epidural. I'm so grateful to Aunt Katina (who also cut the umbilical cord) and Hannah for being there to nurse her.
“As much as I tried to prepare for the visit, I was not and never will be ready. After losing your twins early in your pregnancy, I I prayed and hoped that the diagnosis of trisomy 13 was not true. That is not the fate of my firstborn and only son, I have always wanted you, but knowing that you are in heaven with your great-aunt Vivian, and that you always will be, God wanted and needed you more. Please be our Guardian Angel, giving me great comfort in the midst of this sadness. It makes my heart so happy to know that I won't be able to watch you grow up at home without you in my arms. With tears. ”
Williams recalled the indescribable feeling he felt when he was discharged from the hospital.

“Words can't even describe how I felt when I left the hospital without you. I can't even begin to describe how it felt to be home celebrating Thanksgiving without a baby in my arms. My heart was broken. My arms are empty, but I know you will always be with me. Please keep close to me and your sisters, and my heart smiles with gratitude.
“Thank you God for allowing us to bond for 35 weeks and for giving birth to you so I could hold you in my arms. I hope you never suffer. I take comfort in knowing that I don't have to. I hear your soft sobs and cries. Look at those beautiful little eyes looking at me. Thank God for the time Madison enjoyed listening to your heartbeat and watching the waves of your movements in my belly. Oh, my sweet boy, we love you, our eternal angel!”
