Alex,
My hope for this letter is that you will someday be able to read it.
You were born at 24 weeks. Most babies are born around 40 weeks so you and your sister didn't get the same start in life that others are afforded. You may be wondering, why did this happen? There was nothing your Mom did wrong, she did everything right.
What I can tell you is that your Mom and I are getting you the best care possible. Doctors and Nurses are working with you every day to help you breathe on your own. Why isn’t it working? We don’t know that either, but I can tell you that it’s not your fault. You have already shown us the strength to handle more adversity than some people encounter in a lifetime.
If our love would heal your lungs then you would be healthy enough to run a marathon. Please know your parents love you and will do everything we can to give you and your sisters the best life possible.
You can’t see us, but we are by your side. You may not understand us, but we are telling you that you are loved. You are suffering, but you are being lifted up in prayer and God has a plan for your life. You are persevering, and we are proud.
Love,
Dad
