O Angel in Heaven

Last night while visiting with friends I received a text message from Baby Grant's mother that he passed away.  This message was posted by Grant's father on the Omphalocele Facebook page.

It is with a very heavy heart that Sabrina and I have to announce the death of our son Grant. He passed away last night in our arms surrounded by love. He put up and amazing fight for 115 days, his lungs were not able to support him any longer and he took his last breath as Sabrina and I held him.

Grant was only here for a short time but he changed not only our lives but all of those that were able to meet him or hear his story. Grant was always surrounded by love from Sabrina and I, family members, and the nurses/nurse practitioners/doctors of the NICU staff at UNC Hospitals.

We are asking for everyone to remember him by lighting a candle at 8:15PM tonight in his memory, and for as many nights as you would like. 

Grant is now flying with all the other Omphalocele Angels that were taken too early. He is also in the arms of Grandpa Pat and I’m sure both of them are watching over us during this time. Grant will be our guardian angel who will never be forgotten.


Merry Christmas Grant. I hope you enjoy the celebration in heaven.
