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.

Little Rocking Chair
Dear Ellie,
This morning, a tiny little baby arrived and the staff kicked us out of the NICU. It was almost lunchtime anyway, thus an opportune moment to take a trip to Cracker Barrel. We sat down on the two nearest rocking chairs while we waited for the Sunday crowd to thin out, not noticing at first that there was a little child's rocking chair between us. When we saw it, it was impossible not to imagine you sitting in it, one day, along with us.
