Wow, I can’t believe its been 19 years already!  It doesn’t seem that long ago that a nurse put her in my arms and then stuck me in a wheel chair to escort me out of the hospital.  Wait, you want me to actually leave here by myself and take care of her?  While I was scared shitless, it helped that I was young and...
