True Thanksgiving

We went to church on Thanksgiving morning in the beautiful, large chapel in St. Vincent’s hospital, where the twins were born and taken care of so wonderfully and miraculously.

There were just a few of us there, including medical people in scrubs, but then we found at mass Dr. Mary Marron-Corwin, who was instrumental in the twins’ success over the rocky road from their premature birth. She was surprised to see us there, and held Alaina during the services. She was genuinely thrilled to see them again.

The priest celebrating mass was the same one who baptized Gabrielle very early as a precaution.

It was an extraordinarily appropriate and wonderful way to begin Thanksgiving. There are doctors and nurses, and there are special doctors and nurses, and then there are extraordinary doctors and nurses. At St. Vincent’s and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center there are extraordinary medical people taking care of these tiny infants.

We are grateful to them all. It was appropriate to meet Dr. Marron-Corwin again in the striking chapel, around which St. Vincent’s is built. Miracles happen there.
