(Sports Spectrum) Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly and his wife, Emma, are clinging to their faith as they grieve the unexpected loss of their daughter, Mary Kate.
Kelly missed Saturday’s game against the New England Patriots and later revealed that their daughter died while still in the womb. Emma was 19 weeks along in her pregnancy when they learned that Mary Kate’s heart had stopped suddenly.
“Nothing made me happier than being your Dad,” Kelly wrote on social media. “You gave your mom and I that gift. You were simply a miracle and always will be. I’m sorry you never got to open those sweet eyes and see us or take your first steps but you have angel wings now. You left this world too soon but we know God had a bigger purpose for you.
