While at times, I know sometimes it feels as tho life just doesn't seem fair. I too have had to deal with adversities. On the other hand...
I would like to introduce my daughter Sabrina Lee Long, born 2/27/07 at 7:58PM in Baltimore! I'm 43 years young and have never had anything, nowhere even close, effect me the way my daughter did when she was born! I quit smoking the following day and has me refocused on what life is really about and why we are here.

She was rough on her mother while in the womb. Shut down my wife's digestive track and put her in the hospital for 3 months on feeding bags and IV's. Kim's failing health had me stressed beyond anything I have ever had to deal with. As guys, we fix things. When someone you love gets sick and you can't get anyone in the hospital to give you a straight anwser (I understand illness is a gray area and no one can commit to an verdict because things can change), it was frustrating and angering. Kim and the baby are doing fine now. Kim is starting to eat again, slowly all be it, and is down 40 lbs since giving birth. I can see a couple double bacon cheeseburgers in her future.
Thought I would share this great news with you!

Daddy's little girl....She is beautiful. Treasure her and get ready to pamper your wife when she gets home!
I am so sorry to hear what a hard time you have all three had. God willing, it's better days ahead for you and your family. Just think about what it will be like to put that first little bow in her hands!
We have a few little ones around if you need one when the time comes. Just let us know. Ours were 2 1/2 and 6 years old when we started shooting. What great family fun!
Congrats on your little miricle.
Tell your wife to rest more than she thinks she needs.....take it from some one who didn't rest enough and paid the price!
God bless you three.

Thank's to everyone so much for the kind words. She is precious to us and a good baby. Only fusses when she is wet or hungry. At this stage, she is mostly sleeping but does pop those stunning blue eyes open at times (often at odd hours in the early morning!) and I google her back to sleep. Kim is dealing with a bit of the post baby blues and we will get past that speedbump. It seems minor compaired to what we had to deal with to get her here.
Thanks again and I hope to put a handshake on some of you fine folks in the near future.
