To Emma

Dear Emma,
Today we finally were able to bring you home. What a day of such joy that has been for us. We have showed you all around the house and loved on you without any machines, tubes, or probes hooked to your body for the first time. In the 32 days we spent in the NICU you taught us so much and you didn't even know. You were able to remind Daddy and I of the faith and relationship that we need to have with the Lord. With that in mind Daddy and I will raise you in a home that shows you the importance of this relationship. You brought Daddy and I together in a way that we never thought our relationship could be brought together. You forced us to lean on each other and let it all out through the good times and bad. You have gained quite a following with the help of technology through your blog. Through this blog and your healing process you have showed others the importance of a relationship with the Lord. You were able to get people who never pray to pray.
So peanut, we know you will do big things one day. Daddy and I can't wait to watch you grow and develop into an amazing person. You and your sister are the most important people in our lives and we will do anything for you. This being a quality that we gained from your grandparents who stepped up to the plate in HUGE ways for us during this time. Thank you for all you taught us and all of your followers. It is hard to believe that such a tiny person can change the world in so many big ways. Keep fighting away and being the little superstar that you are and always will be.
WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK - FOREVER AND EVER,
LOVE,
DADDY AND MOMMY
