I am Kaleb Cyrus' mother, Verkeya.
I have Lupus.
At 27 weeks, lupus took Kaleb and broke my heart. My husband and I had so many hopes and dreams for our unborn son.
I remember all the fun I had feeling him move. My dreams were coming true. A baby of my own.
The night we went to the hospital, I had it in my mind that I would just be going into labor early and he would probably need to spend time in the NICU. Of all the times in my life to be wrong, I knew the minute the nurse did the ultrasound that he had passed and there was no heartbeat. The hardest part was knowing I would have to deliver him.
I am still healing. I will always miss him.
