Five years ago, my husband and I lost our first baby. We were devastated by this miscarriage and although it was a very early miscarriage, it was a huge piece of us that felt like was taken away. Miscarriages are losses that don’t go away with time, we learn how to cope throughout the years.
After the miscarriage, I had this strong feeling like that precious baby would have been a girl and so we dedicated the name Anela to her, which means Angel in Hawaiian.
After a long 5 years and another pregnancy loss in between, we found out we were expecting another baby!
Here is the miracle that I wanted to share through this story: Our daughter Scarlett Anela Silva went 3 days past her due date and arrived on August 26, 2022. We did not make the connection until the night of the 26th when I was recovering in the hospital with my wonderful husband and brand-new baby girl that we lost our first baby Anela in 2017 on that very same date… August 26th.
And to add one more sign of just how good our Heavenly Father is… A rainbow appeared right outside of our house shortly after we brought our sweet girl home!
These are tears of joy friends and family. Because God is so good!!!! And I don’t believe in coincidence, I believe in a God that loves us and has a plan for our lives that is better than the one that we could ever dream up for ourselves.
This pregnancy has meant the absolute world to us, words cannot even describe the joy and love that we feel!
