this is my life...the photo blog

this is the continuation of my first life story blog. I've decided to post photos of my birth and the tragic times in the hospital. you can read the first blog to get and idea if you haven't read that yet. it's called "this is my life." i was born, or arrived rather, on April 29th, 1986. 5 months early. i was originally due the 2nd week of August.




these are the fingers of my mother, and that is my hand, just days after i arrived.

some have said this is looks like someone weeping over a loved one's casket...i can imagine it kind of looks like that, but certainly don't want it to resemble that. that is my mom.

this is my dad holding me. i can't imagine what is going through his head at that moment. you can almost see it in his eyes.

i don't know who wrote this out, but i think it's pretty cool. those hand prints you see are mine. you should be able to read what the note says...Father's Day 1986.
