Today is Prematurity Awareness Day, part of the larger Prematurity Awareness Month held each November. We'll be at University Hospitals this evening for a candlelight vigil and a special lighting of the gothic tower there that will cast it in pink and blue. It offers another chance for us to connect with others who have faced similar situations and to celebrate the great work they do at UIHC for premature babies.

A video commemorating the month is available to watch here. It is powerful and moving, though a bit difficult to watch as it hits very close to home. Anyone wanting more information about the month can find it at the March of Dimes web site.

It doesn't seem possible that it has been two years since we spent every waking moment at Will's side. At times it feels like it was just yesterday.
