Josefina Turns Five!

This is the story of a little girl, born on October 26, 2006. She was seven weeks premature, weighed under five pounds and needed surgery to reconstruct her intestines. The first days were full of tension:


But she made it through, and for a while, it looked as though she would be home in a few weeks....


But then the weeks turned into months, seven months in fact.


Daddy used to sing to her

And Mommy visited her every single day

Until the day when she was finally ready to  come home:






We were grateful to have our whole family together at last.




Josefina is still teaching me how to live. She is still teaching me about the joy of living.


Happy Birthday to our littlest one, Josefina Janaro,
October 26
