[kj] OT - Saddest days of my life

[Javier Garcia]

I've been away for almost 4 weeks.Went for vacation to Acapulco with my wife and my daughter to spent 
a whole week there. 
Sunday May 21st: While driving my car on the 
highway returning to Mexico City, my little girl, Jimena, gone sick 
(actually she was barely sick of an apparently low flu since a 
couple of days before), the look on her face was pretty sad with no 
energy (an unusual thing on a little 2 and a half y.o. girl). We 
stopped on Chilpancingo (a city about 2.5 hours far from Mexico 
City) and took Jimena t a hospital, the Dr. told us to take her to 
a hospital in Mexico City, Jimena may had a severe stomach 
infection.
We arrived to Mexico City and took my weak little girl quickly to 
the hospital. After about three hours, the Doctors told my wife and 
i that Jimena had an important/dangerous lung infection. We spent a 
whole week in the hospital, only leaving for little whiles to eat, 
take a bath and feed the dogs. My little girl went very bad, then 
her health turn better, we were optimistic. Sadly on monday morning 
/ may 29th, the Drs. made my daughter some studies and things went 
very bad since then. One lung was almost healed, but the other one 
was in pretty bad shape. The fucking virus was ver aggressive and 
destructive. As the virus advenced my baby, went into septic shock. 
The doctors told my wife and i that things were not optimistic for 
my little girl.

Jimena died that monday may 29th about 6:30 pm at the age of 2 
years, 6 months and 10 days old.

Words can't explain the mix of frustration, anger and deep sadness 
that my wife and I felt the days after. It was unbelievable.
Why? Why a gorgeus happy energetic girl?... and while i have a -now 
12 y.o.- son (that lives with his mother) that still makes me feel 
important, Jimena was my beloved little princess. I don't know you 
guys, but i think a daughter changes your life as father more than 
a son. Those little girls can really touch you deep into your 
heart, and make you feel many new feelings. At least that made 
Jimena to me.
It hasn't been two weeks yet since she passed away, and of course 
my wife and i still cry sometimes (and still will), but the hardest 
moments have gone away. Now we focus on the happiness and the 
beautiful energy that Jimena brought to our world, on the amazing 
strenght that she showed us in the hospital after a whole week on 
bed and still showing that wonderful smile and high spirit.

Now it's just about time, not to forget, but to heal the hurts and 
only leave scars.
