ππΆ A Motherβs Heart in the NICU β Love That Fights β¨π

I never imagined that a sheet of glass could become the most painful barrier of my life. They say that when a child is born, a mother is born tooβ¦ but no one prepares you for the fear of seeing your greatest love fighting for life so early ππ.
Every beep of the monitors makes my heart skip a beat. I look at him β so small, so fragile β and I would give anything, absolutely everything, to take his place. To carry this pain, this discomfort, just to see him strong, healthy, at home, safe in my arms, where he belongs π«β¨.
Some days I am strong. I press my hand to the glass, whispering into the tiny opening that he is a warrior. I tell him he is loved beyond measure, that his courage inspires everyone around him. And sometimes, when no one is watching, tears run silently down my face π’π.
Today, the fear tried to speak louder than my faith. Exhaustion wrapped itself around my shoulders, and doubt tried to settle in my heart. But even in that darkness, I choose hope. I believe in the power of love, in unity, in prayers that join across miles, in the small miracles that happen every day πβ¨.
Thatβs why Iβm here, heart in my hand, making a motherβs request π:
If you see this, send your positive energy, your prayers, your love. Send hope to a tiny fighter whose strength already astounds the world ππ. Every thought, every wish, every whisper of support travels through the glass, through the machines, into his tiny heart. And it matters. More than you know.
Because even behind this barrier, even in this hardest of places, love is louder than fear. Faith is stronger than doubt. And a motherβs heartβ¦ will never stop fighting for her child π«πΆπ.
