If I Could...


"If I could, I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes; give you courage in a world of compromise. If I knew, I would try to change the world I brought you to. " -Celine Dion

My nephew Aidan was born on November 1st, 2009, at 33 weeks as a premature baby. It is never easy for a parent to leave their newborn baby for a couple of seconds. My brother and sister-in-law had to leave baby Aidan daily in the hospital as he got healthier. With the help of God and his doctors who stuck by him, Aidan was soon at home by his parents' side. Today he is a healthy and happy baby at 5 months old.

I had always done the March of Dimes/March for Babies, but this year it means something else to me and my family. We're not only walking for all the preemies and their parents, but we're walking for one of our own. As its mission states, one day all babies will be born healthy, but we have to help them get there. A donation, as small as it is, is a GREAT help.

If you would like to donate, please visit http://www.marchforbabies.org/s_team_pag
