A Big Event

[myangelemma]

My husband and I attended a wonderful event last night for the March of Dimes.  I may have mentioned before that I am a volunteer for this wonderful organization since my Emma was born 3 months early and had such a hard start to her life, I feel an overwhelming need to give back.  They had a Volunteer Thank You party and it was wonderful.  They asked me to speak as well.  This was my 3rd times speaking "officially" and each time it gets easier.

Ok, so there are rumors out there that public speaking is rated #1 of fears of most people.  This includes death!  Seinfeld has a great act that goes "so, this means that you would rather be dead than giving the eulogy".  Too funny.

But in my case it is truly healing.  I tell people all the time that Emma's 88 days in the NICU were traumatic, yes, but Thank God, she will never remember those days but I will NEVER forget them.  I still struggle some days actually accepting it (yes, even 3 years later) but each time I get my story out there I feel as though my heart is healing!

Emma had her 3 year old check up today at the dr. and it went wonderful.  He called her a "miracle" (like I didn't already know that) and everything is great with her health.  What a blessing!

Hugs to you All, my CafeMom friends!
