For the first time since Daniel was born I am not walking for the March of Dimes’ March for Babies with Team Daniel. It feels strange that there is not Team Daniel walking this year. Still I know that a little bit of Daniel is there, at least his image and his story is at the walk in Modesto. Along with my co-workers and former patients and their families walking today in Modesto, my heart is with so many other walkers all over the country who are walking in memory of Maddie, especially her parents. Here is their story shared this morning at LA’s March for Babies. Video by way of Rachel.
I just wanted you to know, when I walked in Indy, I was thinking of you, of Daniel, of Maddie, Heather, and Mike, of Shana and Thalon, and about my new baby cousin who is still in NICU.
So there was a little bit of Daniel in Indy. In my heart, anyway.
Also, I’m looking into starting that nursing course early. Our government might allow me to go on their dime, which includes child care for Thomas. So maybe I’ll be in my dream job (NICU nurse) before I turn 40!
Thanks for the inspiration – on the walk, and with school.
