Brian (you might remember that he took me to a Yankees game not long ago) is a 5th grade teacher. In telling his class about his family’s experience in the NICU, he told them about Ira. His 5th grade class has followed Ira’s story this entire school year. The kids wanted to order wristbands and in the words of Brian, “they are honored to be part of the club and they wear their Ira bracelets proudly around their school.”

To Brian - ahem, I mean, Mr. O’Conner - and the 5th grade class from Westchester County, New York I say thank you for being so supportive. My family is fortunate to have you guys on our side. Ira is blessed to have you reaching out with your hands offering your love and compassion. You’re the best!
