My son was also born prematurely. He's 2 and a half years old now and he's wonderful, but while reading your piece it gave me shivers down my spine, as I know exactly what you and your wife went through. Other people don't realize how awful this was. Personally I wanted to switch places with him, except there was nothing I could do except trusting the doctors and pray for miracles.
My son was indeed a true gift and speaking of spirituallity and death, personally I feel like a part of my soul was transposed in him and the odd thing is that I fear death less since he was born.
