Bridget went above and beyond not only to take care of our 32-week twins but to take care of us as well. She explained everything with compassion and in a way that we would understand what was happening. She answered all of our million questions with grace and honesty. She would always make sure we were able to FaceTime at night to read a story to the twins when they were there. She would make footprints and little signs when we went in the morning; we would get excited to see what sign or message would be next. One sign said, “Hey Mom and Dad, I am 5 lbs today.”

I remember clearly one day when one of my twins went home, I was torn between having one baby in the hospital and one at home. She made a sign that said, “Hey sis, I'm getting bigger and stronger, and I can't wait to come home to see you soon.” I saved every sign she made for us, but that one has a special place in my heart. She knew we needed that little to pick me up.
