Amigos!
Nadie está preparado para una perdida, y nadie salvo que lo haya atravesado de alguna manera, entenderá el estado actual de sus corazones, por eso los pongo en manos de Dios en mis oraciones.
Hoy Benito vuelve a casa, pero habiendo probado el amor de un hogar, de unos amigos y de una familia, que ese sea el escudo que les ayude a impulsar su alma en estos momentos.
Desde lo profundo de mi corazón les envío mi amor, mi apoyo y mis sentidas condolencias ante esta infortunada y lamentable situación.
Espero sepan que cuentan conmigo y que los acompaño siempre.

Dear beautiful Benny,
I never got the chance to meet you, but I loved you from the moment I heard you were on your way. You brought so much love and light to our lives already, It’s amazing how someone so little could already mean so much.
Your mum and dad are two of the most beautiful people I know, who carry so much kindness and joy wherever they go. I know your life would have been filled with many adventures, endless dancing, and the biggest love.
Even though we never met, I’ll always carry a little piece of you in my heart.
Rest gently, little one. 🤍

Benito, my bad bunny Benny boy.

We’ve been so excited to meet you ever since your mum and dad shared the news that hot summer afternoon.

We feel so fortunate that we got the chance to spend a little time with you that Monday. It’s a moment we’ll always carry with us.

You should know your parents are two of the greatest people I’ve ever met. They’re like a brother and sister to me. Your dad lights up every room he walks into, with a laugh you can hear from two blocks away. And your mum is not only beautiful, but so much fun, fiercely smart, and full of that strong, independent Latino spirit.

Everything about you spoke of the love your mum and dad already had for you.

I’m so sorry our time together was far too short. You’ll always be part of our lives and forever in our hearts.

Don’t worry, Benny. We’ll keep an eye on your mum and dad. We’ll be there for them and help them keep shining as brightly as they always have.

My man, Benny.

Love always,

Dearest Olly and Gigi,

We're thinking of you both, and of little Benito, so much right now.

Nine months of loving him. Not nearly long enough, but he was yours and he always will be. He's left his fingerprints on your hearts, and you'll always carry him with you, through the big moments and the quiet ones.

We're so sad you have to go through this. But know how you take care of each other, having seen it in so many ways over the years, and glad you have so many people around you to be alongside you through this.

We're so grateful to call you our friends. We love you and we'll always be here.

All our love,

Words cannot express how deeply our hearts hurt for you both and for the loss of your precious Benny.

We have shared so many moments together, the laughter, the celebrations, and the dreams for the future. When he came into your lives, we shared in your happiness and excitement, and we were so grateful to welcome him into ours.

We wish we could take away your pain, but we hope you know that you do not have to walk through this journey alone.
We will always be here.

Benny was a beautiful part of your family and our lives, and he will always be remembered with so much love 🩵

Dear Precious Benny,

Before we ever had the chance to meet you, you came to me in my dream. I cannot explain it, but it felt like a beautiful gift, a special connection that I will treasure forever.

You will always be your mummy and daddy’s son. You will always be part of their story, part of our family, and part of our hearts💕

Thank you for touching our lives in such a special way. Thank you for letting us know you, meet you, and love you.

Rest peacefully, our beautiful, Benito 👼🏻

With all our love,

We can’t imagine how you’re feeling, but we’re holding you both close in our hearts. You two are incredible people, and we truly believe Benny knew that and felt nothing but your love for every moment of his precious life. We will cherish the time we had taking Benny and Miles around Brooklyn in our bellies and getting to see how excited you were for his arrival.

We’re sending you the biggest hug and are here for you always. Benny, you are a special little guy and you’ve left your mark on all of us.
