Childlike wonder can shift our perspective in the most challenging times.

When my daughter saw her brother Gideon in the NICU, her simple joy reminded me of the beauty in imperfection.

Her words, "Mom, isn't he perfect?" were a powerful lesson in acceptance.

As we navigate uncertain futures, the presence of those around us can be profoundly comforting.

Gideon's pediatrician visited us, spending hours just being there, offering no solutions, just companionship.

Here's what this experience taught me:

- The power of presence over solutions
- How childlike wonder can offer a fresh perspective
- The importance of support systems during tough times

Did you know that simply being present can be more healing than any advice or treatment?

How do you support someone facing uncertainty?
