Day #18....Staying Strong & Keep Fighting

Getting off to a rough start this week was very hard for both Reese and I. Not letting this temporary set back stand in our way. We must go on... Today I wanted to keep going on, no matter how hard things got. I knew this journey was not going to be easy. Nor did I imagine how truely hard it was going to be phsyically and emotionally either. I do believe in my heart of hearts that my daughter will shine! She has always been a fighter from the moment she arrived. This difficult time in our lives will some day be a distant memory. Today, my friend Colleen came up to visit Reese and I. She was able to see what a day is like at the St Josephs feeding camp. We both stood and watched as Reese had her first feeding session. My friend turned to me and said I don't know if I could stand outside a window and watch my baby cry. These were my exact thoughts early on this journey. I am much stronger now. I hope my daughter can take my strength and never give up! We all together will help her fight her way through!

Reese,
You may not always see me with your eyes. It is sometimes just a window between us.....I'm hear with you always...Stay strong little one!! You have so many people who love and care for you!
much love and kisses from your mommy, daddy, Nicholas & Mason
