A couple’s happiest day turned into a nightmare after their triplets died within hours of birth on May 19 and May 20 in Midland, Texas.

“We’re never gonna see them start school, or walk, or go on dates, or get married. We never got to hear them cry. We never got to see what color their eyes were,” said LeAndra Burcham, the heartbroken mother, according to Wish TV.
