That story was so touching, and beautiful. =]

My sister was born 6 weeks early, but she doesn't have any defects or anything...I love her so much, and congrats on your beautiful daughter. =]

Although not every outcome of prematurity has a happy ending.  They are still all miracles. Even if the long term effects and illness of prematurity seem to be on going for many preemies. Each preemie has a story to tell. The ongoing fighters are brave and the preemie angels in heaven are not forgotten!

My miracle came at 24 weeks, 510 grams, or 1 lb. 2oz. Her eyes were fused and her skin translucent. She had all the normal issues that come with being 16 weeks early. Today she is a vibrant, brown-eyed beauty with the a special gift for song and humor. She is my heart. Without the March of Dimes, this bright light would have gone out soon after her birth. Thank you Catharine for sharing your story and your time. Have a wonderful and prosperous life.

My miracle was born at 24 weeks, a mere 510 grams, or 1 lb. 2oz....eyes fused, translucent skin...RDS...the works. Today she is a bright, funny, 10 year old beauty with an incredible singing voice. She has been contributing her time to our local March of Dimes for the last 5 years.  Without the March of Dimes, this bright light would have gone out soon after her birth. Thanks for sharing your story, Catharine. It is much like our own! Have a wonderful and prosperous life!

AMAZING!! What a beautiful video for a beautiful child. She has a lot of wonderful things to do in this world.

My friends baby was born at 26 weeks and she has cerebral paulsy now, but she's 4 and otherwise kind of healtyh and i can't thank them enough.

The March of Dimes Stories tear at my heart every year. My nieces were born at 28 weeks and were 1 pound 5 ounces and 1 pound 4 ounces. My father could put his wedding ring over their thighs! If it were not for the treatment for their lungs, which was developed by the March of Dimes, they either would have always had breathing problems or never had survived at all. How are they now? They are ten years old and you would never know they were premies. They are both strong and smart. God Bless MoD!!

May God Continue to bless you all. I had my son Jordan @ 29 wks, he only weighed 2.5 lbs. Your daughter is such a beauiful angel. Thanks for sharing your video. She reminds me of my niece which is now 11 she was only 2 lbs.

This video touched my heart. I had my daughter at 27 weeks, although she passed away, I am still very involved with the March of Dimes. I do it for Madison(who also would have been 5 years old) and all the little ones who come to the earth too soon.
