About this ebook
There are moments when life slows down. We have to wait and we are both scared and hopeful. That’s how I spent the first 18 days of my daughter’s life. She was born and she was moved from one hospital to another in order to get the chance to survive. It was not easy, nor foreseenable. We all needed to be strong. That’s what happened and I am glad she doesn’t remember any of it.

18 Days - Sara Fiore
Each and every decision that we take shapes our life. It turns our world upside down, in a sense. We are always trying to figure out how things will be like, but the truth is life is unpredictable. Life follows patterns and paths that are unknown to us. If we are lucky enough, at some point we will get to understand the motives. It usually happens a long time after things happen. Most of the times things are just bound to be a mistery. What I have come to understand is that life is always putting proofs on our path. It doesn’t really matter whether we fall or we stop for a while. We might as well cry for a little while and it would still be acceptable. But we must find the strenght to carry on and to keep on taking decisions in the end. Fear doesn’t have to hold us back and that’s what we must understand when it comes to life.
When I got pregnant, I could picture the emotion of being a mother. It didn’t go as planned, though. Not a bit. These are my first eighteen days as a mother.
