gabriel.

Friends of mine, Mark and Kristen, were expecting their first born baby. Last week baby Gabriel showed up unexpectedly three months early. I wont go into details but Gabriel is fighting every day to be with us. His father posted the following message this morning as an update: "Lying here in the room for parents in the NICU, Kristen is sleeping and they had to sedate Gabriel because as the doctor said, "he's fighting us so much we just needed him to get some rest" I've come to think about how I thought of my son before his birth and how I think of him now. I dreamed the big dreams, what his personality would be and his sense of humor. Of him going to college to play baseball or football. Of him joining TKE like his old man, and the stories he could tell. I realize I forgot to dream small, the little things that I expected to happen. I dream now of holding him, hearing him cry, making him smile. I see now how important it is to dream small, because as each small dream is realized, the big ones will come and oh the wonder they will have." Speechless.
