When baby L.J. was born three months early, fragile and fighting for every breath, doctors could only do so much. What he needed most was someone who would not let him go. That someone was Nurse Diana Peña.
Night after night, she stayed at his bedside, coaxing him to breathe, feeding him drops of milk, singing lullabies into the quiet hospital air. His parents, overwhelmed and unable, never returned. Weeks passed, and L.J. remained alone—except for Diana.
So she made the most selfless choice: she adopted him. Today, their home echoes with laughter, bedtime stories, and joy born from a bond forged in the NICU. Diana reminds us that family isn’t always about blood—it is about love brave enough to say: You are mine, and I will never let you go.
