"I Knew I Had to Protect You": Survivor of Brussels Bombing Writes Letter to Her Unborn Baby

Ben Johnson : Mar 30, 2016  LifeSiteNews.com

"I do hope with all my heart that you are born into a better world, and if not, then you do absolute best to make it that." -Sneha Mehta

The woman, 28-year-old Sneha Mehta, had just flown into Brussels from Abu Dhabi with her husband, Sameep, when bombs tore through the facility.

As of Sunday, the Islamic terrorist attack had claimed the lives of 35 people, including four Americans. But Sneha and her family were not among them.

The mother commemorated her survival—and the way her unborn baby gave her a sense of peace and assurance—in a letter to her baby.

Sneha does not know the sex of her 16-week-old child, but she said she knew the moment that the bombs went off that her paramount concern was the baby's survival.

Having the child gave both parents "faith and reason to live," she wrote, according to CNN.

"I felt more alive than I ever have, and I knew I had to protect you," she wrote, "so I was calm, composed and fully aware that we will survive."

She and her husband were able to flee the scene. They arrived at Sint Augustinus hospital, where an ultrasound showed their baby unaffected, sucking its thumb.

"You are absolutely precious to us, and have already been a hero today," Sneha wrote her child.

She charged the child that, since she had seen so much kindness that day, "you owe your life to reciprocating that goodness."
