On January
15, 2015 Erica Morales writes on her Facebook page that she is scheduled to
have a Caesarean section at 5 pm to bring her 4 children into the world. But
what happens after the procedure is unbelievable.
Everything
began completely harmless: Erica Morales and her husband Carlos met each other
in 2007. It's love at first sight for the two even though she speaks no Spanish
and he speaks no English.
But language
proves to be no barrier and the both learn each other's languages to deepen
their love - eventually marrying. The two decide to have children and Erica
tries to become pregnant.
After a year
and a miscarriage, the two go to the doctors again for an ultrasound. Then the
unbelievable: it's not just one kid, but four!
Erica and
Carlos are ecstatic. Finally, they will become parents. Something that they had
wished for so long. The countdown can begin and the two begin to think about
names for the babies.
They decide
for Carlos Jr. for the boy, and Paisley and Trace for two of the girls. For the
fourth child, a girl, they can't think of a name, which is why they decide to
chose after she is born.
But after 7 months,
Erica's contractions begin far too soon. Erica texts her husband that she has
to go to the hospital - Carlos drops everything at work and rushes to be there
for the borth.
At the
hospital it becomes clear that that 4 children must be delivered via Casarean
section. For the soon-to-be father, it is pure excirement that he will get to
hold his children after waiting for them for so long.
The Caesarean
is performed and shortly after the doctors allow Carlos to join his exhausted
wife. He holds her hands and squeezes it firmly, yet gently, as she awakens
from the anesthesia. But then suddenly, everything develops completely
unexpectedly.
The monitors
begin to beep like crazy and the nurses and doctors rush into the room! Carlos
is sent outside to wait with his quadrplets. Then comes the shock.
Erica is
dead. From extreme blood loss. Carlos hears what the doctors say, but is
speechless. His entire world is destroyed. "How can this happen? She was
doing so well and suddenly she's dead. She was alive and now she's simply
gone."
Carlos is
desperate, for what should have been the most beautiful moment in his life has
developed to the worst.
But he
decides for his wife and children to not give up. The two will grow up
bilingual, go to college, and find a job her writes to his wife in his last
letter to her.
And Carlos
wants to do exactly that: fulfill this wish of his deceased wife. And one last
wish he fulfills on his own: his children he names Carlos Jr., Paisley, and
Tracey, just like their mother wanted. The fourth child, which was to be named
after the birth, Carlos names Erica. To honor is beloved wife forever.
An
unbelievable story full of pure parental love. When you were also so impressed
by the courage and strength of this father, and all that he has done for them,
then share this story with everyone you know.
