I can officially say I am a NICU mom.
Our second daughter was born 6 weeks early. And I can say it's one of the scariest things I have ever been through at this point. I do however find myself wondering what each family story is as we pass each have other coming and going to see our babies.
I was sitting with my daughter just the other day and I really got to sit back and watch people come and go. As we smile at each other and wave I caught myself wondering what each story could be. As I sat in the silence and peace of holding my daughter I also found myself praying for each family as they passed by. Even without knowing their story I realized I could still pray for each of them because God knew what was going on.
I can say if it wasn't for our faith and knowing God has this all handled I am pretty sure things would be a lot more stressful and crazy.
All I ask as you finish reading this is you say a prayer for those you have passed by today.
