My niece was murdered. It has affected me because she was my best friend and I still to this day blame myself.  If I wouldn’t have introduceded my sister Kayla to Aaron and Aaron to my sister Kayla then none of this would have happened. Then they wouldn’t have met and Lylah would still be here.  

When we were at the hospital I/we knew something was up because Aaron was crying on command like an actor. Then making jokes on the way home from the hospital because he thought he was off the hook. It is really messed up and makes me very angry because she was little and wasn’t hungry anymore so he force feed her...she is a little baby and she won’t eat because she isn’t hungry...so you punch her and kick her like what?

Not only was I hurt I was scared,scared she wasn’t going to come through.Worried that I could never see that smile again.The longer she sat there not moving the more I knew she was gone. It wasn’t real I felt like it was all fake. I thought as if it was all a dream.

So here is what happened  when my mom got a call from my sister crying saying my niece Lylah was getting flown the Rochester. My sister said she had choked on a chicken nugget so we raced up to the hospital to see her and see how she was. She was put on life support because she couldn’t breath on her own. I instantly knew something was up. She knows better than to not chew her food good. She may be 2 but she was whip smart. We waited for my sister to get to the hospital and so we all went in together seeing my baby girl. like that hurt me so bad.  I had an roller coaster of emotions. I didn’t want to talk or see anyone. I wanted to be alone. We left the hospital at 2AM and cried over and over until I couldn’t anymore.

So around 8:00 or 9:00 that next morning,  I got a call from my dad saying I needed to get to the hospital now because my parents went up there around 7:00, My grandma brought me there and I didn’t want to go into the room. I was scared and my emotions were going crazy and I didn’t know how to control them. I wanted nothing to do but cry and wanted to die. My boyfriend came around 1:30 in the afternoon.  He got out of school to come help support me and my family. He knew Lylah and so many people were hurt from her death. I had gone into the room to see her and my sister wanted me to talk to her because she knew if I didn’t I would regret it. I sat in her room with her for about 30 minutes. They did a head scan at 4:00 p.m., she was brain dead and no matter what they did she would just be a little body laying there not being able to live a life. They had to let her go at 7:16 p.m.

On the way home from the hospital Aaron was laughing and making jokes he thought he was off the hook but haha nope he was wrong with what he is and might be getting charged with he just messed up his life.What real man makes a baby eat and hits them because they are crying she is little she is going to cry.I feel like this is all my fault because I introduced Aaron and my sister Kayla if I didn’t do that she would still be here with us right now.Not a day goes by that I don’t think it was my fault yeah he did it but I put him in that house I let him and Kayla get together.When I first met him he was nice a really nice guy then when I saw him at my sisters house he was mean yelling all the time.

I just wish I could go back in time and save her keep Aaron away and she would still be here living the best life. Not a day goes by that I don’t wear here around my neck.I love her with all my heart and me and her have shit that no one knows about. I miss her so much and she didn’t deserve this she did nothing wrong.I just want to say I love you to the unicorns and back a million times Lylah.

Just a few weeks ago my sister Kayla had got Lylah’s death certificate in the mail I think it was the happiest I have seen Kayla since Lylah passed.I know what your thinking why was she happy? Well because cause of death is listed as blunt force head trauma and at the bottom it says homicide.  We are happy because no matter what he says, he is going to get pleaded guilty.He will get 30 years minimum so until he is about 50 years old.
