By Chip MacEnulty, Ph.D.Guest Contributor Newborn J breathed for seven precious hours, held by loved ones until he fell asleep and … died. What moves me about J’s story is not that he breathed for seven hours, but that he lived for nine months and seven hours … and was loved the entire time of his short life’s span. […]

It’s almost 7 a.m. in Dallas, Texas. As a client advocate, Sarah drives to meet Mobile Medical Clinic driver Thad at a parking lot just ten minutes from her house.
