A Rocky Beginning

In a brightly lit NICU ward, the hum of machines filled the air as the parents stood beside two tiny incubators. Inside rested Ivan and Josue, born prematurely and fighting for their lives. The boys, so small and fragile, were surrounded by wires and tubes.

The faint interior light of the car cast shadows on their faces, highlighting their exhaustion but more so their determination. “We are here, and we are staying,” said Mom, gripping Dad's hand firmly. Their unity, much like the storm, was powerful, but theirs was underlined by love and steadfastness.
