An Only Child

I grew up being an only child. It wasn't supposed to be that way until my brother Scotty passed away. I was 3 1/2 years old when my brother had passed. My mom told me that I was a good older sister during the time we had with him. He died from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and was only few weeks old. Unfortunately, the only thing I remember of him is "The Day" it happened. I only knew him for a few weeks, but I always have him in my thoughts and prayers.


Because of this, I had two wishes for my future family. The first wish I told myself is that when it's time to have children of my own, I want to use Scott's name if I have a boy. When Dantes and I found out we were having a baby boy we had decided the perfect middle name for our beautiful son, Dante Scott Rosete!!

The second wish for my family is to have at least two loving children. I was okay with being an only child, but I sometimes look back and wonder what it would be like to grow up with brother Scotty, or have another brother or sister. I didn't want that to happen to our Dante Scott.

Now I have TWO beautiful healthy boys, Dante Scott & Devan John! I have been so blessed to be a mother not once but twice! I love my boys so much! I would do anything for them.

I love my life.

Best friends

Little brother thinking his big brother is too silly!

In loving memory, Scott Michael Linler
