You changed my life

This is all it took, 5 individual letters put together to name my change. At first, I did not think it was a possibility, I went through denial, this can never happen to us I said, you're overreacting I thought, fear I felt... But when it was confirmed it was the easiest thing... It was perfect, he is perfection. Ethan, my gorgeous nephew was born January 27th, 2013. The wait was over, 9 months seemed to fly by, and he was finally here! He was 7lbs 11oz, and a beautiful slice of heaven. He, aside from my niece, were the two things thus far that have made me shed tears of joy, rivers of joy actually. The instance I walked in after what seemed to be a mortifying event, I find this little miracle waiting to meet me. My sister had a very complicated pregnancy, it was a roller coaster in itself, but all of that faded the moment I looked at this precious gift of God. We were afraid he might not make it, he was almost wrapped up in his umbilical cord, but quick thinking by the Dr on staff allowed them to get him out on time. Ethan is my change, my reason for change, my desire for change. This little boy who will grow to be a little person is inspiring and he doesn't even know how to speak yet! Yes, a little person, he will grow to be one of Gods miracles. I'd like to tell my friends and anyone else that may come across this, I have no shame, I'm not afraid of what people may murmur. There is nothing wrong, or anything to be sorry about... Ethan will grow to be different and we all know different is beautiful and wonderful, it is exotic and puzzling... I invite you to be happy for me, my family, and many others out there in our new found community. Dwarfism awareness is the first step, I would have never thought I'd be so enthusiastic but I am, and I'm very proud. Ethan and I would like to remind you to please refrain from using hurtful words like midget and instead substitute it with something more fabulous like little person. We also invite you to refrain from making fun of anyone in our community you may come across, because they are also someone else's nieces, nephews, daughters and sons (we're positive you wouldn't want to be made fun of either). Ethan you changed aunties life, for the better... You are my treasure!
