?ops=scalefit_720_noupscaleDear labor and delivery nurse,
Four years ago we met under some terrible circumstances. You were my nurse the day I delivered my son at 23 weeks gestation.
That is a day I will never forget, and you are someone I will never forget. It cannot be easy to be the labor and delivery nurse taking care of someone you know is about to lose her baby.
You were kind to me on the worst day of my life. You cleaned our son up, swaddled him in a blanket and gave him to us to hold. You held our precious little boy like he mattered. You silently stood in the background during the two hours he was alive.

As one who has spent entirely too much time with them, God bless each and every one for their dedication, compassion and empathy.
