..the surgery simply removes the distraction from an obviously beautiful baby girl (those eyes will melt the coldest of hearts).

i'm proud of you & your wife for the strength & patience shown, as well as the concern. i'm sure this situation is never easy for parents, and i know it was initially a difficult subject to approach for you. still, you found the courage to eventually share your plight with others (including the okp community). that anonymous post actually led to a few more people hittin' up my inbox regarding their own personal stories & struggles. while i certainly encouraged an open dialogue (support, words of encouragement, advice, etc), i didn't want to impose or put pressure on anyone. i'm not sure if anyone actually reached out to you, but i want you to know your story is helping others facing with similar situations.

congrats on a successful surgery!

*edit:

that blog post is incredible. people are often intrigued and afraid of what they don't know/understand. awkward situations will happen in life. its important to recognize all perspectives involved and to work towards helping people move beyond their fears, allowing awkward situations to become learning experiences.
