The fact is that I have an amazing friend, Kayla Aimee, who has an amazing daughter, Scarlette, who was born at the age of 25 weeks. She was a super micro-preemie, weighing in at 1 pound 8.6 ounces. I have yet to meet this wonderful babe, this amazingly strong babe, but I am forever changed by her strength and thankful that she was one of the very very lucky ones who survived being a micro-preemie and that I will have the opportunity to meet her when the winter quarantine has passed. :) You hear that K.A. I'm coming to get ya. ;)
K.A. shared a story on her blog yesterday that really tugged at my heart, it actually made me cry... while in public. Don't judge, I'm an emotional girl. Its just a really touching thing. I'll let you read it here and then you can come back... Don't worry, I'll wait. I even made the link open in another window. ;) So since you read her story you know what I'm about to ask you to do. Please take a moment to make a Christmas or holiday beanie. They are pretty easy to make. You could probably even use one of those knitting looms from Walmart and double up the yarn to make it tiny. Those knifty knitter looms are super easy to use. You can donate it to her NICU and comment on her blog post about it, or you can even donate to one of your local NICU's. It won't bother me one bit, just do it. Sometimes, and 99% of all times, it's the little things that can make your day brighter, so why not bring just a little sunshine to someone who doesn't expect it, or someone who is having a rough time knowing that their little babe is sitting in the NICU on one of those holiday's that mean the most to you. Wow. That was an intesnsly long run-on sentence. But really guys and gals, this would mean so much to me, but more for K.A. if you could do this!
xo, Steph
