First of all, my dear Rob.
You have been absolutely amazing from day one when we learned we were expecting. It was all so new, the two of us not being together for very long and suddenly faced with one of the most important questions in life, but you helped me make the right decision.
Then, how you nurtured me, pampered me, loved me and my growing body as my back got a bit sore, and when I was put on bedrest for the last two weeks.
Lately, how you dealt with all the paperwork, got me my medicine and pads and soaps and of course, your support through our horrible last hospital stay and labor and surgery afterwards.

I don't remember all of your names, and while I have a lot of anger for some of the doctors, you were all absolutely wonderful, and wild as it may sound after an experience like this,- you have cured my hospital phobia.
In particular, Rose-Marie. I don't know what it was about you, but there was something about your presence and your energies and the things you said and how you did things that really made an impression on both me and Rob. You were with us through the first hours and in the end before we left.
Nathalie, you are wonderful too, although we didn't see you as much as Rose-Marie.
Third, and I am so sorry I don't remember your name. You came to us in the last hours and gave me my final doses of antibiotics, and you and the man who refilled the heater named our stuffed monkey Boswell. You sat down with me for quite a while reminding me to try not to loose my faith, no matter what my faith is, it will help me in coping with the loss. I thank you for listening and giving me many good pieces of advice.
All our friends and family
Most of you are so far away and can't be with us right now, but all the love and thoughts we received on Facebook really touched us both deeply.
In particular, Camille. You are a beacon of light and you are the first one who made me feel the first glimpse of optimism and even a hint of joy and smiles. I will never forget that.

Besides from being extremely professional and supporting us with tons of information and answering all our questions in the most satisfactory way you possibly could, your personality is very comforting and we can both feel that you actually care, and that means the world to us.

To be able to share my story and talk to other women who understands, to give and receive support and advice is absolutely priceless and you are all absolutely wonderful.
