5 years ago about this time RIGHT NOW my wife and I whom were 22 1/2 weeks pregnant with our daughter Kaira Morton went into preterm labor. I remember driving her to the nearest hospital and us sitting there for HOURS waiting to be admitted, while the staff nonchalantly told us "oh you're not in labor, you're probably just having a little pain".
Finally we get admitted into the hospital and the OBGYN is our NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR! I'm like aight cool thats a good look, she'll make sure to give my wife and daughter the best care. I'm in good hands right? So she tells me their hospital does not have a NICU but she called one and they're on their way. Just sit tight and wait for them to show up. In the mean time she will have her boyfriend come to the hospital to watch my son J Funk in the waiting room so I can be with my wife. About 20 mins pass and her BF shows up and im like aight cool....thanks man, I appreciate your help! Still no sign of the NICU showing up...so I wait about another 5 or 10 mins and talk to my moms in NY on the phone to give her updates on whats going on at the hospital. So I decide to go back to the room and check on my wife and I ask the OBGYN where is the NICU? She tells me "Oh your wife isn't far along for the baby to survive so I called the NICU off. If she were just 3 or 4 more days along we would have had them come." So i'm like wha??? You LIED to me! You told me that they're on their way and now you called them off? So what do we do next? She says "well the baby has no heart beat now so your wife will just give birth to the baby naturally and you guys can talk with our staff about funeral arrangements."
I look at my wife, I hold her hand and baby Kaira is born minutes later. When I look at Kaira I noticed she is breathing...she takes 3 breathes and then she stops breathing. My daughter is so beautiful and dainty. I can see she has my nose, shoulders and legs like my wife.... even though she is barely 1lb she looks long.
So many thoughts are running through my head right now, but I just want to be there for my wife and make sure she is okay. Then my 4 year old son J Funk is standing in front of the room crying, wanting to see his mommy and his sister Kaira. A part of me is holding him back from coming in the room and another part is like let him see her. Before I could even think he basically BUST right THROUGH me and runs to hug his mother. I turn my camera on and then the most beautiful thing happens...J Funk meets his younger sister Kaira. When he looks at her he doesn't see a corpse, he sees his FLESH and BLOOD. He hugs her and Kisses her face, then he Falls Asleep with her in HIS ARMS. I had held my composure throughout the whole time BUT at that moment tears came down my eyes for the FIRST TIME IN YEARS!
CALL ME CRAZY but since Kaira's passing we've had visitations of her presence being with us. We celebrate her birthday every year and something STRANGE usually happens. There's even been times when J Funk was sleeping and he would tell her to stop jumping on his bed.
We've been blessed to have another child who goes by the name of Miracle Baby Josiah. He was born at only 1lb 8oz and he's had his own share of battles to make it into this world but by much prayer, educating ourselves on better hospital treatment and God's grace he's exceeding expectations and doing amazing!
I once asked God why would you take her knowing how good and loving of parents my wife and I are. The Holy Spirit then spoke to me and said, "would you rather me have taken you and your wife instead? I needed a part of you both in heaven as it is in earth so I took Kaira." Ever since then I've been at peace and haven't asked God why again however, I still miss my baby girl Kaira and would give up the money, success, fame, the businesses and more to raise her here on earth.
I do know when the rapture comes we will meet again and daddy cant wait to hug his baby girl and ask her a million questions!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIRA MORTON. WE LOVE YOU!
