"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world; duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent Mall, and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."

Brilliant!
Found you from No Biggie. Just wanting to let you know I've been there. I too understand the roller coaster ride of the NICU. My twins were born at 29wks6days. They are 2 1/2 now. Never a dull moment around here. I'll be thinking about your family and little Conner.
Aimee, I've missed hearing from you this week. Hope things are ok. I'm thinking about you and your little one.
