Monday
Today we celebrated the life of Mieko.
Mieko was born with trisomy 18 and wasn't expected to live even a few hours. As Mieko's parents said today, hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, weeks into months, and months into over 4 years. She went to school, learned to walk with a walker and lived life exceeding all expectations. Last week her lungs and heart betrayed her and she left us.
Her parents, family and friends released balloons this afternoon to celebrate her life.
Her mother, Maya, is a reporter I work with.
I am amazed at how strong she is.
