(Not Entirely) Wordless Wednesday 2.5.14

When she was born, I didn't know if I were going to live to take care of her, having been diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy shortly after her birth.







As a newborn, I kept her bassinet pulled up next to my side of the bed, sleeping with one hand inside, because, although it was entirely unfounded, I had a fear that something would happen to her while she slept.

And this week, she turned 15.



Happy birthday, beautiful girl.

    1. Thanks, Kari. I started to write a longer post, then deleted it in favor of this instead.

  10. WOW! That first sentence was a doozy. I can't imagine how that would feel, having a beautiful brand new baby and not knowing if you'd get to see her grow up. So glad you did! =)
