Courageous Caitie's parents welcome new baby girl
A new love story was written for Christine Feliz and Jericho Jose, parents of Caitlin Soleil "Courageous Caitie" Lucas, as they welcomed a new family member.
On Valentine's Day, Christine gave birth to Tabitha Calea "Xinyi" Lucas at exactly 11:25 a.m., the same time they had lost Courageous Caitie last year.
"So surreal still... We lost Caitie around 11:25 a.m., held her in our arms...and now our baby daughter came into this world at 11:25 a.m. on the day the world know it's all about love today. What are the chances.. thank you Lord," Jericho wrote on Facebook.
Many mourned three-year-old Caitie when she passed away last year.
Catie was diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, a rare cancer of the blood affecting infants and toddlers.
After receiving inconclusive diagnoses from different hospitals in Manila, the family went to Singapore to find out what disease Catie had, leaving behind their son, Ethan. —Anna Felicia Bajo/KBK, GMA News
