Daddy, why do you and mommy love me so much?

Daddy, I took  my cannula off cause I'm awake and ready to play!

Daddy? Will you hold me now? 

Ross,

   One does not need to search any farther than your eyes to understand why we love you so very much! Since we found out about you, we anticipated every single day until the time you were born. When we finally got to meet you our hearts melted. That day and every day since has been a love affair with you, Ross. Every challenge that has come our way we have gotten through it...together. Your strength to overcome has amazed us through these times and made our love for you grow. You are special my son, in so many ways. Ways we have yet to discover.
   We don't always have the answers to all of the questions that come up where you are concerned, but we do not give up and keep asking those who can help us deal with issues that come our way. Sometimes we are so frustrated and we want to scream out for you and your pain, but we don't. Your momentary smiles remind us we must be strong for you and we endure. Countless hours, days and nights we have stayed with you. Watching over you, and making sure you were cared for in the best ways we knew how. Just to hold you tightly in our arms to hear you breathe and know that you were only asleep was sweet music to our ears. Seeing a small movement placed fears at bay.
  There are so many reason for a parents love Ross, but I think it is just because we are your parents and loving you is so easy to do. You fill our lives with joy and hope for tomorrow and most of all, you make us complete.

I Love you Ross!

Daddy
