The Beautiful Side of CDH

As I was in the hospital with Dakota fighting for her life, I remember feeling enveloped in love and support. I did not have a blog, and was not on Cherubs yet (I only had a couple of weeks between her diagnosis and her unexpected birth), so my love and support came from my family and from friends and acquaintances, and I was so touched.
But I always wished I was part of Cherubs and/or had a blog at the time, because the beautiful love and genuine concern for stangers just pours out of this forum. The pure, multiplied love of CDH parents radiates from the posts of both angels and survivors. We have, or are, battling something that we never thought we would have to face, and what comes through the fear and sadness, is just beautiful, pure love, for our babies, but also for others we have never met. This is the best of humankind on display. I mean, look at Shelley (I hope you don't mind me mentioning you), having surgery today, losing her sweet grandson, and yet praying so hard for the other babies fighting the fight. All the moms of angels, who have the strength and courage and sweet spirit to pray for other parents to get to keep their cherubs on Earth ... Just beautiful, and so unselfish and amazing. I am so proud to be part of this community today. Hugs to everyone.
