ne year ago today, we packed up all of our belongings and left the NICU for the very last time. After twelve LONG weeks, we were taking our Tiny home. One of our twins was coming home. The other had gone to be with God 11 weeks and 5 days earlier.
Birth – 1 lb 10 oz
It hurt to only leave with one carseat. For twelve weeks I watched twins leaving the NICU together. Each time it pierced my heart. It will certainly hurt forever.
The Great Escape and Finally Home!
Tiny now, at almost 15 months old
Even though the pain persists, I have also found peace.
Today I found a new blog called Crayon Marks and Tiger Stripes. Cutest name ever, but her message is deep. She had the following posted, and it tugged at my heart. So I wanted to share it with you.
Happy 1st “Break Out Of the NICU” Day!
