A profound thank you to all the NICU nurses.

I wrote this little poem to try to express the emotion and gratitude I feel for the NICU nurses who have helped us through this time with Avalon in the hospital. I can't even being to put into words how amazing they are and the comfort I have felt at knowing that my baby has been in the best possible hands while there.



A profound thank you to all the NICU nurses.

When we were tossed into this unexpected journey,
You were there to lessen all the worry.
You helped us navigate the fragile care,
And eased the burden we had to bare.
You gave comfort when things took a step back,
Your love and sympathy did not lack.
You were there for each step forward,
Cheering with us as she moved onward.
You stayed through all the stress and tears,
And helped assuage all our fears.
You assured us that someday we’d be home,
You stayed and talked when we felt alone.
You’d cuddle our angel when we couldn’t be near,
And tell her we loved her, there’s nothing to fear.
You made sure she got the very best treatment,
And always encouraged our involvement.
We knew she’d always be safe in your arms,
That you’d never let her come to any harm.
You were with us when the last day finally came.
You ensured our lives would never be the same.
And so we thank you with gratitude unable to describe,
Because of you we were all able to survive.
