He seemed like SUCH an amazing spirit. I had a little girl in Jan. 2010 who had Meconium Aspiration and after only 25 short (but long) days she was able to come home happy, healthy, and without any residual problems. As I read your blog I kept thinking about how blessed we were to have only dealt with PICC lines, NG tubes, her being intubated, and those days in the NICU for such a short time. I want to thank you for giving me perspective in my life and also for helping me feel even more blessed at the health of my baby girl. I know you will be with your Ben again and you will be so blessed because I can tell you are the best mother you ever could have been to him. That letter you wrote to your mom was incredible and I hope you can continue to heal and find peace. Thank you again for your posts and for sharing them with complete strangers.Curtis and Crystal Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280088671319147854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-61891336215959824962010-06-28T19:30:11.714-04:002010-06-28T19:30:11.714-04:00Wow!

It is such a touching letter knowing what is going to happen and yet not really being 100% prepared. You gave him so much love and care and he loved you right back. You are awesome. Love you.shirlgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094823128199841249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-444825244368666262010-06-28T11:40:12.633-04:002010-06-28T11:40:12.633-04:00Wow Becky.
