A Walk in the Park

“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.”  – Voltaire

This month, my family and friends walked together—along with hundreds of others—in support of our local Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The fundraising event was new to us, but so very important. It was at this NICU that my granddaughter spent the first 97 days of her life. It was wonderful to meet one of the amazing doctors whose skills and passion brought us a healthy (almost) two-year-old. The crowds were there to celebrate the successes and healthy children who survived and thrived.

I am filled with appreciation for everyone who donated, walked, and supported our family through the very trying time. It was obvious the level of gratitude and appreciation displayed by those in attendance on an emotional, soul-filling morning.
