Most people saw a party. We saw a miracle.

This weekend we celebrated our Aubrey Marie and shared the testimony behind her name.

We lost a baby. We kept the faith. And God gave us this little girl when nobody could explain how.

Say her name fast: Aubrey Marie. Ave Maria.

Her name is our testimony.

This is an intimate moment for our family, but I wouldn’t feel right not sharing what God has done for us and continues to do.

Thank you to everyone who made the effort to celebrate with us. We don’t take it for granted.

God is perfect and His timing is perfect

Going on these spontaneous trips is something I’ll never take for granted. It reminds me of when we first started dating, when every drive, every conversation, and every moment together felt like an adventure.

As life gets busier, I’ve come to appreciate these moments even more. The time we get to spend together, the memories we create, and the photos that let us relive them later are some of the things I value most.

I thank God for blessing me with these opportunities, for the life we’re building together, and most importantly, for putting you in my life. ❤️

We’ve been together for over a decade, and through all these years we’ve grown together at an incredible pace. You’ve seen me at my best, my worst, and every version of me in between. You watched me grow from a young boy into the man I am today, and through it all, you never stopped standing beside me.

For that, I’ll always be grateful to have you in my life.

People underestimate what it means to have the right partner. We’re not perfect, but we’re perfect for each other. What makes us special is our willingness to keep growing, keep learning, and understand that what worked yesterday may not work today. We’ve learned to unlearn old philosophies passed down to us and focus on building a better future for our kids.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us and our family.

I know that while I’m out chasing our dreams, you’re home sacrificing your time, your energy, and even putting parts of your own ambitions on pause to take care of our girls and hold everything together. I see it. I appreciate it more than you know.

And I promise you, one day all of this will be worth it.

All I ever asked was for you to never stop believing in me, and I promise I’ll never let us down.

I love you forever ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman that always puts her family before herself. Your heart is pure, your soul is beautiful, and the love you give to all of us never goes unnoticed.

This morning we woke up and made you breakfast, one of our favorite meals, mangu, salami, and queso, something I’ve learned to make with love because it reminds me of home, family, and you.

Today is about celebrating everything you are and everything you do for us every single day. We love you more than words can explain, and we’re so grateful for your strength, your patience, your warmth, and the way you hold this family together.

Happy Mother’s Day. We love you. 💐

✨ OUR MIRACLE STORY ✨
Aubrey Marie Perez ❤️

Only God knows how much we prayed for this pregnancy. A year ago we lost our baby boy Franchesco at 22 weeks… and it broke us. I buried myself in work to deal with the pain, but seeing Sharleen suffer crushed me.

I believe God makes no mistakes. When life gets heavy, I don’t ask “Why me?” — I ask “What is this teaching or protecting me from?”

Fast forward a year, we found out we were pregnant again — with a baby girl 👶🏽💖 At 22 weeks, Sharleen started bleeding. We rushed to the hospital… same fears, same trauma. Doctors said her water broke and we had 2 options: terminate or risk the NICU with no promises.

But I wasn’t giving up. I asked everyone to step out. I told Sharleen we’re going to pray the rosary. I dropped to my knees and cried out to God for 45 mins. I begged Him: “Please don’t let this happen again. Please save our daughter.”

Then I felt this overwhelming heat through my body and I heard the words “Tu fe te ha salvado” — your faith has saved you. I turned to Sharleen and said “Everything is going to be okay.”

I told the doctors to redo the test. They looked at me crazy — 2 tests already said positive. But I insisted.

Test 3: Inconclusive
Test 4: One negative, one positive
Test 5: Fluids looked good — they sent us home 🙌🏽

And now, on July 9th, our baby girl is HERE. Healthy. Beautiful. Strong.

AUBREY MARIE PEREZ — Daddy loves you. You are our answered prayer. You’re proof God is real. You’re our miracle.

Franchesco — thank you for watching over your little sister ❤️
God — thank You for this blessing
