Today we delivered a cuddle cot to the NICU at St.Marys, the High risk hospital in our area. It was my first time setting foot in a hospital after leaving empty handed.
I absolutely hate what cuddle cots represent. I hate the fact that it’s needed and I hate the fact that it will be used. But it brings me peace to know that other families will be given the one thing that we didn’t – time. No time will ever be enough but parents deserve every second they can have with their precious angel babies. Preston’s name and birthday were engraved on it (along with another angel baby) which meant so very much to us. I pray that maybe one day a mama will see his name and feel the smallest sense of peace to know that she isn’t alone.
Thank you Bonnie & Coastal Doulas for organizing the cuddle cot fundraiser & thank you to everyone who donated. I can assure you the gift you donated is truly priceless.
