Easter.
The day everything changed.
The most traumatic day of my life (up until then)... leading to months of anxiety filled, emotional days, and some additional, much more terrifying days.
I look at this face and I am so thankful that she is so strong, such a fighter - that she is here with me. My heart also hurts that she has had to be such a fighter, face such pain and so many challenges, many still unknown.
I hope that one day I can look at Easter as a day of miracles, as the day is meant to be and is seen by millions. To me, it was the start of unbelievable struggle and heartache.
I am thankful that I decided to go to the ER that morning, rather than church. I know that decision saved both Ella and me.
Since Ella came into this world 12 minutes after Easter...
Happy First Easter, my sweet miracle! I love you!

Well, she looks like a mighty healthy girl, a micropreemie no longer! Hope all is well as appears.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Ella! Such a happy BIG girl!!
ReplyDeleteMany hugs, BB. Those Terriversaries are tough. It does get easier the further out you get...although I won't say the thoughts go away completely.
ReplyDeleteElla is beautiful. She is happy. She is perfect! Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, Ella! You look so beautiful! I hear that Easter brings back some memories of really difficult and scary times. And you wish things could have been easier for her. I wish they could have too. Thinking of you both and sending lots of care: She does look so strong and adorable.
