Vito Remembers His Late Sister
In her Instagram post, Saab shared that Vito was listening to an audiobook of Matilda by Roald Dahl when he heard the character Miss Honey say, "...it may even be divine."
Curious, the five-year-old asked his mom, "What's divine?" Saab explained that the word refers to something heavenly or "from heaven." Vito then replied, "Like where Luna is?" to which Saab agreed.
Saab wrote in the caption, "So many unprompted mentions of our baby girl during the holidays, and I do think it's her way of reminding us that she's our angel." She added, "It will be 7 years next month," referring to the upcoming seventh anniversary of Luna's passing.
Another instance Saab shared was when Vito pretended to answer a call from the hotel room phone and said, "My sister Luna is calling. She says she’s stuck in traffic." The Bacarro family went on a trip to Japan in December last year, visiting Sapporo.
Saab and Jim Bacarro welcomed twins Pancho and Luna in 2018. Sadly, Luna passed away shortly after birth due to health complications. Pancho, born in critical condition and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, survived.
Whether it’s Vito's sweet mentions of Luna or the quiet moments of reflection, Saab's stories resonate with many of her followers, especially those who have experienced the loss of a child. These moments also serve as a reminder that the emotional weight of such a loss lingers and that the love for a sibling doesn't fade, no matter how much time passes.
