It takes a village…it truly takes a village. #twinslife #nicu

It takes a village…it truly takes a village. I am sitting here completely overwhelmed and overjoyed. First of all, on this Father’s Day…I was able to have the whole family in one place. We were able to take Rosebud to the NICU and spend time with the twins. Even though we had only fifteen minutes in the room with Rose, it was the most precious fifteen minutes I can remember. After leaving the hospital, I began to think about the day, the week, and really the past fifteen days. It has been a whirlwind to say the least. There are so many people that use the saying, it takes a village…I am now a true believer. Friends have been so generous providing gas cards for us given we will be making daily trips to Greenville Memorial Hospital, sometimes twice a day. I have received numerous notes, emails, Facebook messages, correspondences from friends that are close by and far away. Sarah and I are completely overwhelmed with the generosity and do not even know where to begin saying thank you. The village has provided so much for us including Rosebud. She will be spending time with her favorite people this week, people who are a part of the village. Each person knows Rosebud’s complexities, her intricacies, her special need to connect with familiar souls. It takes a special village to understand the inner being of a family. A village is bigger than a group of people committed to help a family in need. A village is a community of people that are not only committed to the well being of that family, but also committed to providing a safe space with love, refuge, and direction. We have found our village and they have provided. There are so many people to thank and we do not know where to begin. This journey has just begun and the village keeps on providing. If I see you, I might hug you…because I am so thankful to all those people who have chosen to be a part of our lives and help us build and amazing village! #twinslife #nicu #canon #5dmkiii
