Special Moments

Heather and I just made a trip to the NICU to see our little SweetPeas. It was a great trip as the staff allowed Heather and I to touch each one of our babies. It was a beautiful moment watching Kuylen and David each grip on Heather's finger, and Mary Louise kicked when her mother touched her hand. I felt a great amount of joy and the moment was extremely soothing to be able to touch my children. It really made the "Dad" meaning set in. It made this situation even more personal. I am having a hard time explaining how I felt, but it was just great. Heather really smiled for the first time in a few weeks. It was just awsome!

    What a beautiful Moment.... I was saddened yesterday when you told me that you guys were not allowed to touch them. I could not imagine that feeling at all! I can imagine each of your faces as you touched your miracles for the first time! Cherish each and every moment because I promise before you know it they will be all grown up!!! :) Love you lots,
    Heather and the kids

    I am so glad they let you touch the babies! Treasure them and love them, as they are miracles. I pray that they grow healthy in the road they travel! They just need time!

    I am glad the dad part has set in for Brent; pretty soon those little angles will have wrapped around their fingers :) just like a good daddy should be!

    Continued prayers... Laura
