A Mother’s Tale
This post is not about books, though it does touch slightly on the power of the written word.
This is the story of a little girl. Our friends Becca and Jason just had their second child, who developed complications shortly after birth. Addie was rushed to a larger NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) an hour away from home. In an effort to sort out feelings and to keep everyone up to date on what’s happening, Becca has written everything down in her blog www.dasbecca.com.
Becca is a marvelous writer. She somehow manages, despite (or perhaps because of) the emotional highs and lows, to be coherent, detailed, and poignant. And it’s amazing how many people have written in to share their sympathy and support .
If after reading Addie’s story you’d like to let them know you’re thinking of them, drop Becca and Jason a comment at www.dasbecca.com. If you’d like to help a bit more with gas and other medical expenses, you can donate here (it’s down below the comic strip).
Thanks for reading, and God bless.
