Live your Life

The look of terror on my wifes face as she had delivered our baby, it wasn't the fact that she had just done something that is described as the most painful thing this world has to offer. No, instead, what made her look so frightened was that this baby, our precious baby was born at just twenty two weeks.

She was so small, so fragile.

Our life had been lived for moments that we could enjoy with our beautiful children but now we don't even know if this baby would survive. After what felt like years of medication and treatment, it had looked like the doctors had finally gotten our beautiful daughter back to what we can hopefully call an amazing life.

Years went by and the only issue that had presented itself was something that she'll have to live with, just asthma, which is a lot better than what we had once feared.

High school saw her blow by and although friends were few and far, she, like every other student, had their own cliques.

It is a week or so away from her graduation, and we are all so happy to see this once fragile being walk the stage. You keep your head held high Sophie, you survived a hard moment, now comes the hard moment called life. It is difficult and it is hard but it is worth living.
