Our Angel Elias, 

You are beyond loved sweet baby boy. Mommy and Daddy have loved you since the minute we saw the positive sign on that test. The story of your birth will forever be something we will never forget. On July 31, 2024, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies to see the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie. While we were there, Mommy started to have some really strong pains, but Mommy just thought it was pregnancy pains. Around 11:45pm the movie ended, and Mommy and Daddy headed home. Mommy decided to take a warm shower to hopefully help the pain and then both Mommy and Daddy decided to go to bed. Daddy went to sleep very quickly, but Mommy couldn’t sleep because of the pain. Around 3:15am on August 1, 2024, Mommy woke up Daddy because the pain started to become unbearable and Daddy suggested that we go to the hospital, but Mommy was stubborn and just wanted to take Tylenol and try to sleep again. Mommy had no idea she was in labor, so Mommy went to the bathroom one more time and realized it was your time to be born. She told Daddy to get in the car to go to the hospital. As soon as we get in the car Mommy started to feel your head, but then Daddy realized we didn’t have any ANY gas. Daddy had to stop and get gas and the whole time; Mommy was screaming at Daddy to hurry up and call 911. Mommy then knew we weren’t going to make it to the hospital. Daddy was speeding and running red lights, and when we finally made it to the highway to get to the hospital, the exit to get to the highway towards the hospital was closed!! At this point Daddy was on the phone with 911 and Mommy was screaming. Mommy then started to feel your head come out even more. Daddy pulled over in an empty parking lot outside of Panchos Mexican Buffet Restaurant. Daddy got out of the car and ran to Mommy’s side. Daddy delivered your sweet self in the car in the middle of the parking lot at 3:57am. Daddy was so lucky to be the one to deliver you sweet boy. You were born sleeping with Jesus already, Mommy was so sad to not hear her baby cry after all that pain. Mommy was then transported to the hospital with Daddy and yourself in the ambulance. Mommy, Daddy and your whole family including your big brother got to spend your entire Birthday Day with you. We are forever grateful for the moments we got with you our sweet angel. You were perfect. We love you beyond words and Mommy cannot tell you how thankful she is for you letting her be your home for your time on this earth. Mommy and Daddy miss you so much baby boy, but we are so happy that you were called home with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We’re just selfish and wish you were here with us, but we will meet again our angel. Rest easy. Love you forever and always. You will be carried in our hearts forever.

 Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and Big Brother Four.
