Story of an angel named Nathalia...

Hello my name is Nathalia Karely Gaitan and I want to tell you my story...
My father and mother Miguel and Karen Gaitan wished to give my big brother, Miguel Sebastian, a sibling. Then after many prayers and wishes I came along! Unfortunately, my journey was  not all nice, at 3 months in my mom’s belly, doctors told my mom that I would come with abnormalities and advice on aborting.  My parents refused to abort me and kept giving me love and life. There were many ultrasounds done to my mom's belly. In every doctors's appointments my parents  would be told things were wrong, my mom would cry and at the same time said "it is God's  will"  and  kept going ..  There were many tests, many ultrasounds and the same answers, I remember my mom crying and my dad praying over me week after week, month after month. I heard how many people would advice  my mommy to lose me, abort me,…kill me. I was scared but, my mom and dad defended me. They said "my life was worth it.” My Parents said I was a blessing, and they were  no one to take my life away. Finally around 8 months of pregnancy my parents were told that I was diagnosed with  a chromosome abnormality called Tetrasomy 9p…(http://www.rarechromo.org/information/chromosome%20%209/tetrasomy%209p%20ftnw.pdf) 
This brought a lot of sadness to my family because they knew I might not make it or I will be born with many health complications. They were told I was not going to live past few hours after birth. 

Then, the day came.. December 3, 2015 it was my time to join my family! I was born at 3.26 lbs (I know super tiny!)  But something interesting happened when I was born.  The doctors and nurses were there prepared to see me dead.  I was alive, and immediately baptized. Once they placed me on my mother's chest, everyone saw I was not responding..  Instead of crying, my mommy sang to me.. She sang me a beautiful song. Hearing her beautiful voice,  helped me respond, and I started to make sounds to the rhythm of her voice.  The nurses and doctors were impressed and astonished that I continued alive and singing back to my mommy.  Many of them cried at seeing the beauty of life. I shortly then met my family! My big brother gave me a kiss!, my dad hugged me and told me he loved me!. After a couple hours I met the rest of my family.  I felt so much love in that little room.. I could hear the doctors telling my family  “she wont make it past 24hours, the morgue is ready when you call..” It was scary... I couldn't believe what I was hearing, the same people  who had just witnessed my life were still considering me death. That is when I started to fight for my life and showed them GOD’S WILL IS STRONGER. So I kicked, pooped, screamed, and ate the whole four days in the hospital, with no supplemental oxygen, no incubator, or any other medical interventions but the love and care of my family and friends.  Doctors  were surprised I was sent me home alive.  I  was sent home for comfort and care. My parents and family keep giving me LOVE and with the help of great home health care nurses who came to see me constantly I kept improving. My life is an example of  God's will, he gave me the strength to grow and reach 5lbs, open my eyes and even smile at my family. My parents, grandma, family and friends would take such good care of me , I’d keep them up all night “haha” but they would stay with me and love me regardless. Every person I met would be touched with the love I’d make them feel. I am a gift from God, and every baby is a gift from heaven. My family gave me so much love that it helped me stay longer with them. My life had a purposed, I brought my family closer together, help them learned the meaning of forgiveness, respect and to love each other. I was not able to talk, but through my journey I did it.  From the arms of my aunts I could hear the happiness in their voices, and when I would open my eyes I’d see the love I taught them.. I knew my mission here on earth was coming to an end. 

On February 18, 2016 God was calling me back home.. He said my mission was completed, and it was time for me to leave. It hurt having to leave my family but I knew that even though they would cry for my departure the lesson I taught them would last for a life time. 

My name is Nathalia Karely, and I am an Angel who came to bless my family and touch their hearts and bring them back together. To my family, I love you and I know your tears will be there for a while and your pain is heavy but do not worry for me because I am home.. waiting for you to one day reunite with me in heaven.
