My first memory of my daughter, Ava is not normal.
You see, Ava is my first daughter. I know, my first memory should have been of her crying in my arms after being born. However, it’s not. I did not get to hold her until four months after she was born, and even then, it was with gloves and facemask. She had tubes and IV’s covering her body, and she couldn’t breathe on her own.
“She looks just like you.”
I just smile.
Craig takes my hand.

Life is unfair. Incredibly unfair. The fact that my daughter cannot have a birthday party with a cake and candles and presents and family, the fact that she can’t go run and play outside with her older brothers, the fact that she can’t dance around the living room in a pretty pink dress.
“Her lungs aren’t fully functioning properly, we haven’t discovered why, we are looking into it.” A doctor tells Joe and I.
“We have her in the pediatric ward, she’s awake you know. I could take you to see her.” A nurse grins at us.
“Thanks” I mumble, before following her up from the doctor’s office into the elevator that will take us to the fourth floor.
“Dr. Bryn can be a bit stiff.” The nurse explains.
“Ava, your mommy and daddy are here!”
Ava sits up in her crib.
I hate seeing this. Ava has tubes in her nose and an oxygen mask on, IV’s all over her arms and chest, monitors all around her monitoring her heart, and brain, and everything else.
