Graduation? But wasn’t it just yesterday…
It was just yesterday, so many years ago, when my granddaughter unexpectedly entered the world at 25 weeks gestation - four months early! She weighed less than 1 pound 7 ounces, dropping to a fraction over one pound! She was amazing. She was beautiful. I was in awe and humbled to witness the miracle usually reserved for God’s eyes alone.
“Peanut’s” eyes were not yet opened. Her dear little hands were the size of her grandfather’s thumbnail, complete with the tiniest fingernails you can imagine. When she would grab onto his finger, it looked like an adult grabbing a large tree limb. Her feet were scarcely an inch long. Her grandfather could literally hold her in the palm of his hand. She swam in the preemie clothes made by the Ladies Auxiliary, but she deserved something to wear. I bought a pattern for a 12” doll and made her a dress. The booties and panties were way too big.
