- Transcendent!
This is a good listen regardless of whether you've had a child with health complications. My firstborn spent her first 10 days in NICU, and had slippery, scary health until she was about 3. This podcast brought it all back and somehow gave me a sense of closure and comfort that I had room for to say the least. Engaging, beautiful, thoughtful, inspiring.
