What was the happiest moment of your life?
One of the happiest days of our lives was when we brought our 1 lb. daughter home from the hospital. Amy had preeclampsia requiring an emergency C-section. Born in 1983, Kelly was a Preemie and struggled for a little while. Visiting the NICU daily for 3 months she finally reached 4.5 lbs. when we we allowed to bring her home. Able to hold in one hand, Kelly slept her first night on Mike’s chest.
