Terminally ill woman finds out gender of her grandchild days before passing away

A heartbreaking story.

Having a child is one of the most special moments in a person's life and sharing it your own parents is an important part of the journey. Taylor Masilotti is expecting her first child with her partner Cotey Keith. Taylor's mother Donna was terminally ill, suffering from brain and lung cancer, during her pregnancy. When Donna became very unwell and too sick to leave her hospital bed Taylor arranged to have her Ultrasound by her mothers side in her bed. Taylor posted a video of the special moment to her Facebook page. Taylor and her mother can be seen lying on the bed together when the ultrasound technician reveals that she is having a baby girl. "You have a daughter," she says. When the doctor reveals the news Donna says "No way" and touches her own daughters face. Taylor captioned the video:

"Wednesday afternoon was one of my forever favorite memories I got to share with my mom. I got to lay next to her, hold her hand and cry happy tears while we found out the gender of the baby. I can't thank the hospital enough for allowing this to happen. For allowing me to create my last memory with my mom !! I am forever grateful ! I love you so much xoxo"

Taylor's mother died four days after the scan. While it is incredibly heartbreaking that Taylor's mother will not get a chance to meet her granddaughter, the moment they shared the week before she died will be treasured by the soon-to-be parents. Taylor has said that she will name the baby Stella as that was the name they had been calling the baby when Donna was alive, and that they couldn't bare to change it. Updating her cover photo to a picture of her growing bump, Taylor caption it: "Stella's angel, may you rest in peace. Please keep a close eye on this baby girl. We love you more than the blades of grass on this Earth."
