Midgey,
You were born a preemie, so small and tiny. There weren't clothes small enough to fit you.Everything was baggy. Auntie Diane bought you Cabbage Patch Kids clothing because that was the only thing that you fit.You, literally fit in the palm of my hand, with your head resting on my finger tips and your little legs dangling from my wrist.One of my most cherished memories.You were such a scrapper that you decided that it was your time to enter this world and nothing would stop you. When we arrived at the hospital, one leg was already sticking out and the head Nurse called code something and they wheeled Mom and you off to a room with no admittance.I paced back and forth the hallway until finally a nurse came out of the room.She was in tears ans asked if I was the father and she gave me condolences and she told me you didn't make it.I burst out in despair but thankfully a minute later they wheeled you out on some kind of contraption with heat lamps. I rushed to your side and a nurse asked if I was the father and I said YES. she said you have a healthy baby girl.You were covered in muconium (baby's first poo) but I didn't care and kissed you from head to toe.I was so freaking happy.You grew in you Mom's belly and were so excited to enter this world you didn't care that your time to come hadn't arrived and decided to kick your way out to us.We were just as excited as you were to have you in out lives as you were to get into our lives. Every day we had you was a blessing. You changed us for the better.
Today we celebrate your life and legacy.
Love you forever and ever.
Daaaaaad
