This hit me so hard. My daughter has medical needs and had an acute hospital stay, and I always wonder what she'll think about it. But one thing I know is that she felt/feels loved; your piece gives me immense relief. <3

Oh I'm so glad to hear this felt helpful to you. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm minimizing all the incredible stress and sorrow medical issues can cause a family-- I went through the same thing with my daughter, and it takes a toll. Your family must have been through a lot too. I hope that my story shows, though, that love is a powerful force, and can get us through more than we can imagine. Sending warmth to you and your daughter!
