Today we did the March of Dimes walk to raise money for premature babies. We did it last year for the first time and loved it. We will do it for as long as we can. It is such an emotional event for me. People make posters which show their babies who survive and those who don’t. Family teams wear shirts telling who they are walking for. We don’t do either of these, but I should think ahead next year and do something. One family in particular had shirts that made me cry every time I saw someone wearing it. They were walking for a baby boy who only lived one day. On the back of the shirt was a picture of him and the date of his birth and death and the saying “One beautiful day”. Oh I can’t even think about it because it makes me cry.
It is such a great feeling knowing there are so many other people who have been through what we have. Next year I am going to try to recruit family and friends to go with us, not only because the kids have a blast, but because it is a worthy cause. We did have our friends Megan and Luke come and they had lots of fun with the boys.

We will for sure go with you next year. I shouldn't have a newborn to be dealing with!! It will be fun and we'll make shirts or something with cute pictures of Jonah on them.
I think it would be fun to be with your family as well.
