2 year NICU Veteran

January 19 will be a day that we will never forget. This January 19 marked the second anniversary of the second best day of my life.

This date marks the anniversary of long road of fighting.

Here is a poem that means so much to me, I have posted it several times before---but it's worth posting and reading again.



It's the little things that make life worth living,

It's the little things that help us make it through.

I never knew how true those words were,

Until I first set my eyes on you.

I feared because it was too early;

I cried because it was too soon. Yet I underestimated

The strength in one as small as you. You were born a fighter, a warrior;

You would not quit nor move on.

You strove, you fought, you tried, Until your battle was won.

When hope might have faded, When the trial seemed too great,

A tiny child, despite the odds, Fought what was thought fate.

And a little baby triumphed, A baby thought too small to live,

A baby knew that life Is the most precious thing to give.
