Life is an incredible gift. Each step of the way is an amazing journey. We can choose to walk it alone or run with others. The important part is to remember that we are blessed with so much, yet we often take the simplest things for granted. At times, we might wonder why the world is so cruel, yet we remember that this is exactly what makes all of us stronger.
We truly feel that the birth of Dylan Thomas Klintworth was a test of our strength as a family. His unexpected birth on January 9, 2009 has put everything in perspective and his fight to become part of our family has reminded us of the importance of those around us.
Although we will not celebrate Dylan’s birthday on April 14th, this day will be one that we will remember forever as he has finally come home from the hospital. Dylan is doing awesome at home and it is incredible to see him as a newborn.
Words will never be able to explain how thankful we are for all of our friends and family who helped and supported us through the past 3 months. Without all of you, it would not be possible for us to stay positive during the turmoil.
Below is a list of just a few examples of sections from emails we received from friends and family that helped us get through the toughest of days. We still have tears of joy when reading them.
“If baby Dylan is anything like you, I know he will persevere ... and then grow up to be a rich and famous quarterback”
“I’m betting Big “D” will be shredding the backside at Northstar on his snowboard by the time he’s five. This dude is motivated!! Here’s to the strength and love (that which gets you through) between you, your family, friends, your newest arrival, and of course to his glorious homecoming in April (maybe sooner – remember, this boy wants to see SNOW).”
“I hope you both receive the strength and courage to do all that you need over the next few months”
“We are so glad to hear your son is a strong fighter in the first few days of life!”
“I am sorry for what you and your family is going through. Something like this sure gives you an appreciation for the miracle of life.”
“And, btw, a “mini man” should never be underestimated!”
“With you and Brandi standing guard, he will have a tremendous amount of love and support to grow comfortably under. “
“This is Grade A tough life stuff. You have my prayers with you and Brandi (and Andrew). Not sure what the big plan is for “mini man” Dylan but often kids that overcome this type of adversity have a special role to play in life….inspiring others”
