Imagine...Still having unresolved feelings of guilt over the premature birth of your first born and having to experience it again 10 yrs. Later when you deliver your second child at 26 weeks.

Imagine...your close friends and relatives asking you, "You're not going to try to have more children are you?"

Imagine...going through a major bought of depression because you feel as it you have failed in some way

Imagine... the joy you feel as you watch your 10 yr.old ride her bike for the first time without training wheels after you had been told early on that because of her CP she would never be athletically inclined.

Imagine...going to school for the yearly special ed. Review only to find out your child has made honor roll this term

Imagine... looking at your son almost 2 yrs. after his birth and remember thinking that you would never see him without a nasal cannula

Imagine...Finally coming out on the other side of your depression and you are ready to give something back

Imagine...that you would be lost without them
