For starters, I have to tell you that I know Round 2 is inevitable.
But I can’t imagine Marshall going through that again.

So when Boston called to let us know when Round 2 would be, I wasn’t really prepared.

As a parent, nothing truly prepares you for your child’s illness, injury, surgery, or any of the more worrisome things they go through.

But some of it’s a right of passage. And it’s certainly a strength test.

Marshall declared himself stronger than every person I ever met when he weighed just 5 pounds and 8 ounces.

It goes without saying that Round 2 is going to be tough on Marshall.

And as his parent, it is harder still. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for this little miracle.

And if I could go through all of this for him, I would.

There is nothing I wouldn’t do for any of these boys if I could.

So I’ll just do my best to get and give Marshall, Tristen, Isaac, and Seth the best.

And let the rest fall away to be dealt with another day.
