This memorial website was created in the memory of our sweet boy, Luca Elio Troncoso. Luca was born to this earth on October 8, 2006 he earned his angel wings shortly thereafter on October 16, 2006.
When Luca was at the gestational age of 20 weeks, we met someone that would forever change our lives. Her name is Dr. Bettina Cuneo, she had to deliver the unfortunate news that Luca had a tumor growing in his small heart. We were given the option of terminating our pregnancy,it was at this moment that little Luca showed his strength and determination and began kicking like mad. I knew my son was trying to communicate with me, it gave me the strength and determination to see him through. I knew if Luca's life were to end it would be of God's will and not our own. 
My pregnancy while highly monitored continued uneventfully until my bag of waters broke surprisingly in the early hours of Sunday October 8th. It was on this magical day at 10:40pm that our beautiful son Luca made his entrance into the world. He weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 18 inches long, and like his sister did not cry but already began to just take the world in. After a brief stay in the Special Care Nursery (42 hours), he was released to be with me in my room. I will always treasure the thought of those two days and how he and I were cuddled up with one another. On October 12th we were released from the hospital;and began the process of settling into being a family of four.
In the early hours of October 16th we were up feeding and tending to him when he let out a cry that seemed to signal distress. His Daddy had just fed him his first complete bottle of expressed milk and I took him in my arms, he let out another cry but calmed as I soothed him. I noticed that his breath seemed a little labored, he took a deep breath followed by a much deeper breath with a noticeable release of air; it was at this moment that he passed into heaven. I am so thankful that he was able to go peacefully in my arms, surrounded with love by his Daddy and me.
