My Littlest Angel I wanted to dedicate this page to my daughter, Nicole Marie Batta. She lived and died on December 9, 1991. Nicole left my life as quickly as she arrived. Through the results of a sonogram, we discovered that She could not live. She had a neural tube defect called Anencephaly. I had never heard of this before so I had no idea how this could be happening to me and to my baby. but basically the medical term means she had no brain. My heart broke and my questions were unanswered for along time. Nicole was the breeze that touched my cheek for such a short time that you hardly noticed the beauty that passed you. Yet, she lives on in my thoughts and dreams daily. Her small fingers and angelic face will always be what I see when I close my eyes. I only hope that she felt the love from within me that I have for her.
