There are moments in life when the weight of worry and uncertainty settles so heavily on your shoulders that it feels impossible to stand. During one of those moments, when fear and heartbreak had left me barely able to speak, a single act of quiet kindness changed the course of my world.
It happened the day my son entered the world far too early. What should have been a joyful beginning became a blur of alarms, medical urgency, and decisions I never expected to face. My wife experienced serious complications during the delivery, and while the doctors worked to stabilize the situation, our tiny newborn was rushed to the NICU, fighting with every fragile breath.
She said, “Don’t give up. Your little one needs you.”
