Life or Death?
Years ago I remember volunteering in the NICU of a local children's hospital. I remember one time I came in and asked about one of the babies I had seen. I was told that she had died because she never had anyone to visit her. Ironic that some people think babies don't know anything but in reality they know so much more than you think. Most of all they know that they are loved or not.
Studies have been done that have proved that babies need touch in order to survive. Babies are so precious and yet its amazing that some parents don't know how to love their child. The majority of my friends have made it a point to really nurture their children and their kids are generally healthy, happy, and most important of all, confident in who they are becoming.
