Derek Robinson's Story

It was the early AM of September 18th, 2018; a defining moment, a moment of glory. The screams of pain and determination pulsated through the sterile hospital room as my wife and I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl, Matilda Nova Robinson. The battle of 19 hours had grown silent for a brief moment, until dear Matilda had a breathing episode, that turned into 7 more, and then silence grew into an internal, haunting volume that shook our world.  Matilda Nova Robinson suffered from a brain bleed that would not allow fluid buildup in the brain to resolve. Day after day, we wait helpless, hopeless, emotion filled, feeling wronged and angry towards the evil that had been instilled upon our newborn princess; our little girl. A month turned into a month a half with nothing being resolved, only getting slowly, but progressively worse. To the neuro surgeons we went; it was a chance to make our dear Matilda’s head shrink; make the pain go away. Brain surgery one was complete, as my wife and I watched Matilda wake painfully from her induced sleep; uncontrollable sadness set deep within my soul. Home at last, but within a week, things still progressed. Brain surgery two and the feeling of defeat, wear and enragement latched onto me like a serpent’s penetrating bite upon the innocent, as we waited for the outcome of whether our Matilda would make it another day…………
Matilda awoke more peacefully then the first surgery, and little by little, we could begin to feel the grip of evil and the tears of sorrow begin to subside.  My dear wife, myself and our gift of a precious, little girl find ourselves within the presence of serenity and peace. The air is brisk and pristine clean as we make our way into a home radiating the energy of safety and love. Inside, we take appreciation in the feeling of peace, calm and the unconditional happiness our new home lends to us. Nature pulsates and thrives; our family has survived to have its new beginning in the ultimate setting.
