My Mom is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying,
when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night,
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands upon the beach,
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving Mom,
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's open door
I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My Mom tries to cope with death,
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her,
knows it's her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving Mom
through Heaven's open door
I try to tell her
Angels protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bares.
So if you get a chance, talk to her...
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels..
My surviving Mom has a broken heart
That time won't ever heal.

Mason's Story

      Hello, my name is Melissa Dambrosi, I am Mason Dylan's Mother.
Mark Vargas is Mason Dylan's Father. Let me tell you our story.

      I first learned that I was pregnant February 6, 2004. I still
remember that day like it was yesterday. I was so scared but yet so
amazed that a human was growing inside of me. Mark was also so surprised
and yet excited at the same time. I can remember the first time that we
saw him on the ultrasound, it was also the day that we learned we were
having a boy. (Boy was daddy happy) I just remember the tears and the
love. As the months went on Mason moved like he was in a marathon. I
could not believe how much he moved, I loved every time I felt him, to
me that was his way of saying hello. When Mark would come home is when
Mason would really move, he knew his daddy's voice. There were times
that I thought Mason would just come right out and say "Hello Daddy!"
Everything was going just fine and I was really big, and eager to see
this baby that had been kicking me for so long.

      On September 27, 2004 at 2:30 I told Mark that the baby had not
moved at all that day, it was really odd since Mason was such a mover.
We went into the hospital and there they told us not to be alarmed, they
just thought Mason wanted to come out. His heart beat was still really
strong. My doctor told us he would perform a C-Section just so we would
not stress the baby out. We went in for our C-Section at 6:00 and at
6:20 Mason was out. I knew instantly that something was wrong, he never
cried he just made a gasping sound. The nurses took him into the nursery
and me to Recovery.

      Mason Dylan suffered from Brain Damage, something that happened
in the womb. Doctors are still not sure what caused this but do say that
it is quiet common. Mason was on ventilators and a lot of tubes and
wires, he under went a lot of test. The doctors told us that he would
never move, talk, walk, nothing ever. We made the decision to take him
off the ventilator, Mason passed away within 5 minutes.

It was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. We miss our
little Angel more then anything in the world. Everyday that goes by
hurts just as much as the day he died. So many hopes and dreams
shattered, but we know that we have an Angel watching over us, and for
that we are blessed.

      Mason we love you and miss you everyday that goes by. There is
never a moment we don't think of you; you are our life's miracle and we
will always love you. Love Mommy and Daddy.

      Mason, We miss you and love you more then you can ever know. We
know you feel our love from Heaven, we just miss playing and watching
you grow. You will always be in our hearts. We Love you little Man. Love
always Grammy, Aunt Amanda, Aunt Victoria, Kaitlin, and Vincent.
