learn something new, donate to a cause

As we all go through life we meet people who amaze us with their unending strength and compasion for helping others. My friend Martha is one of those people. She is the mother of an almost 3 year old who was born 2 months early. They not only beat the odds with their son Alex, they are now great supporters of the March of Dimes. This year her son and family have been chosen as Ambassadors for the program for their area. This is a great honor and I want to encourage everyone to help and support the March of Dimes. You may not have ever had a preemie baby but at some point you have either meet or read about someone who has. These parents touch our hearts and really prove that love and faith can guide us all. So please check out Alex's Birthstory (you'll have to scroll through to get there) and then donate to this years walk at Martha's March of Dimes site

OMG.. I'm crying! If I was close enough I would squeeze and kiss you. THANK YOU for that...

What a true blessing you are in our life. We pulled out Alex's baby box while writing that story and found his preemie hate you and your Mom made. God, they are just TINY. And to think they fit back then. wow.. insane isn't it?
