Last year I shared the list of posts from around the blogger community that moved me the most. There are many, many fabulous posts, these are just the ones that for me, I remembered all year. These are the posts when I get down, that I know will help lift me up. I hope they do the same for you. Read and enjoy and if you love the posts, leave a note for the blogger thanking them for being brave enough to share.

Oh, Trish…that’s beautiful. The perfect description of the love of the NICU nurse. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
I love that there are so many voices to help support parents through this tough time – former NICU moms, dads, therapists, doctors, nurses, and more. It’s a pretty awesome tribe.
Thanks again for your list, I really enjoyed some of the new posts.
