Essay
I was born a tiny preemie, weighing only 3 pounds. I was a miracle baby, but I feel guilty for what my parents went through.
I somehow believe this was my fault — the pain my parents were experiencing. I feel guilty that our health was poor, I feel guilty my parents were unable to take us both home at once, and I feel guilty that my parents' only experience with birth was so painful. But this guilt is almost silly. I know I can't change what happened.
