Grant Stanley was born with congenital heart disease. <\/p>\n

“For how many pokes and prods, and doctor’s appointments, he could have been the grumpiest little boy, but he wasn’t,” Stephanie Stanley told KETV. <\/p>\n

Grant, who was born as a twin, died nearly a year ago \u2014 shortly before his first birthday. <\/p>\n

His parents spent a lot of their time on the second floor at Children’s Nebraska in Omaha.<\/p>\n

“All the walls are purple. When you walk in \u2014 elevator, everything is purple,” Stephanie said.<\/p>\n

That inspired the title of her memoir. Stephanie describes the employees at Children’s Hospital as those angels, even having two nurses named “Angel.”<\/p>\n

“I know that God was with me. I know that he sent Angels to help us through it,” she said. <\/p>\n

She hopes to help other parents who have lost a child.<\/p>\n

“I want people to know that there’s still hope even after your baby dies,” Stephanie said. “I want people to know my boy Grant and how much he’s changed my life.”<\/p>\n
