You have to try to calm yourself down\u2019,\u201d Disla said in Spanish. \u201cAs the day where my life changed forever gets closer \u2026 it feels like the music in horror movies when the protagonist is about to encounter the killer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She recalls that day 10 years ago, when she was at home in Puerto Rico studying for her masters degree in education. Disla got a call from a close friend who had heard news of a shooting attack at a Central Florida nightclub and asked if she knew where her son Anthony was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen my friend told me the name of the club my life left me,\u201d Disla said. \u201cBecause when I spoke to him the previous day he told me he would be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Immediately she called her eldest son Marcos, who told her he was at the scene of the massacre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he was trying to protect me because he didn\u2019t call me right away,\u201d Disla said. \u201cHe couldn\u2019t even find the words to tell me that he couldn\u2019t find Anthony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She raced to the airport and took the first flight to Orlando at 4 p.m. without a suitcase or any clothes. Her sister picked her up from the airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt it in my heart,\u201d Disla said through tears. \u201cWhen I saw her I just looked her in the eyes and I said, \u2018He is dead isn\u2019t he?\u2019 She shook her head yes and I just screamed and screamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=3489\">Soul food sandos are new at Nikki\u2019s Place<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The day before, Disla said she had felt a powerful instinct to protect her son and told him not to drive to the club because she was concerned about car accidents. Anthony, hearing his mother\u2019s concerns, got a ride instead.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Luis Laureano Disla died there of multiple gunshot wounds at the age of 25.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven to this day I think about how I could have prevented this if I could have had that power,\u201d Disla said with a shaky voice. \u201cBut obviously I didn\u2019t get that chance. You think about a car accident, not the reality of what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later Disla said her health has declined, exacerbated by the grief of losing her child. She had open heart surgery four years ago, suffers from hypertension and lost vision in her right eye after the retina detached.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Disla is now retired in Poinciana, where she moved to be closer to her eldest son and her youngest\u2019s grave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe numbers mark time but they don\u2019t finalize the pain,\u201d Disla said. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you that I\u2019m happy in my life but I have learned to live with that.
