The following are letters to my daughter, Ellie, who was born premature, 4 months too early. They document her many months stay in the NICU, her trials, and the emotional struggles of her mother and I.

The True Meaning of Your Name
Dear Ellie,
So Ellie, today I have the most important of secrets to tell you. It is time we told you the true meaning of your name: Eleanor Aya Smith. Eleanor means light, and Aya means sword. A Smith is someone who makes things. So together, your full name is... Light Saber Maker! That's right, Ellie. You... are a Jedi, like your father before you (as evidenced by the picture above, wherein I smite your Uncle Zack with a light saber of my own!)
