“I am devastated and my family… life is so hard and difficult. I never thought I would lose my son. He was a fighter… his heart couldn’t take it… my heart is broken it’s a big pain… so difficult.”
“Words can’t express how I feel,” her husband Robert added on his own account. “This hurts a lot I’m confused.”
The fan favourites of the TLC reality show have now paid tribute to their baby boy whilst sharing some photos from his final moments.

“These were the last photos an hour before my son’s surgery, life is unfair,” Anny captioned the photos of baby Adriel in hospital. “I just wanted to have my children.”
She also uploaded a photo of her kissing the seven-month-old to her Story, writing in Spanish: “Half of my heart went with you.”
Robert also shared a photo of himself, Adriel and the couple’s daughter Brenda Aaliyah, 20 months.
“My children [are] what gets me through life and its obstacles to strive and keep on pushing,” he wrote. “When I lost my mom my children bring air into my lungs, this is tough for my family.”
He then tagged his wife to say that she could lean on him and he’d lean on her.
“Adriel Hassan, hold your grandmother and your uncle’s hands until I come home to you,” the dad finished.

Robert and Anny welcomed Adriel in September after becoming parents to Brenda in July 2020. Anny is also step-mum to Robert’s son Bryson, who lives with them full-time, and four other children from Robert’s previous relationships.
