With having a moderate case of progeria and knowing I aged faster, I was terrified I would never find someone to love me for who I was.
“I want to say that I fell in love with you the moment I discovered I was pregnant; I didn’t.”
“My dad would always remind me I would be ‘his little girl.’ I never knew how much that meant until I sat beside him in a hospital bed.”
“He told them there were many things I wouldn’t ever be able to do. He also told them I would always have low muscle tone and there wasn’t much that could be done about it.”
“You can see the overwhelming love in her face. She touched the baby’s head as she was crowning and giggled.”
“There has been nothing more fulfilling than being able to spend this precious time with her. Although her memory may come in and out as the days pass, her love never fades away.”
“I heard a noise from the bathroom where my daughter had been happily singing the ABC song, and had just shouted to me, ‘I almost done cleaning up, Mama.’ I had left her in the empty bathtub to clean up her toys. Actions we’ve done a million times before. Something did not register right in the noise. Loud is always a good sign with kids. Quiet is not.”
“It’s probably one of the most painful tattoos I’ve ever gotten, but it’s the most beautiful.”
“I was rushed into emergency surgery. My husband was terrified at the thought he had almost lost his wife and mother to his children. One year later, there I was, holding the most precious gift of all, our fearfully and wonderfully made rainbow baby.”
“The second we walk in with a basket full of puppies, all that loneliness is washed away, if only for a moment.”
