A year of Avy n Aki : 1 day to go

Its been a year of ups flats and downs... when we look back, we are thankful to god, for having given us the strength to take us through, for having given us nice people around us, so we could sail through the storm and reach a shore filled with greenery.... It has been a year of firsts for us.. first tears, first ecstatic happiness, first sleepless nights of endless crying, first diaper changes and potty washes, first smiles, first words, first steps, first fall from the bed...

As Avyukth and Akshath complete a year of life and step into many more, we take a moment to humbly thank the entire NICU team for giving them a painful yet strong beginning...

Thank you Gracia and Raji for all the love
, for today we see them smile ear-to-ear...
Thank you Gladys, Subeetha, Shoba, Priya, Deepa, Arivazhagi for the relentless care, for today we have them hold our hands tight,
Thank you Nitisha, Nimisha, Vaideeshwari, Ganga, Jincy, Tina for all the nights that you stood without rest, for today they sleep peaceful and sound,
Thank you Binta, Sowmya, Beaulah, Ramya, Shameena, Devarani for holding their hands from pulling the tubes, for today, they learnt to play with new toys..
Thank you to that one special sister that I missed to name - they have and will learn from you how to love someone and not expect anything back...

Thank you Dr. Kalyani for safely tucking them into their warmers, for today they have seen felt and understood what a home is...
Thank you Dr. Manjula for that soft and reassuring voice that they kept hearing, for today they understand, reciprocate and communicate...
Thank you Dr. Karvendhan for standing by their side and not giving up on them, for today they breathe...

Thank you for having given them something so pure, so infinite... thank you for having been a womb to them for eleven long weeks...

On behalf of the world around Avyukth & Akshath,
Hopie
