Amber What is a warrior? What does it mean to be a fighter? Every time I look at my little 4-year-old cousin, Amber, she reminds me of what a warrior is. Amber Marie and her sister Alexia Rose were born 4 months premature and they weighed 1 pound 5 ounces. The doctors said that Amber wouldn’t make it to 3 months, but Amber proved the doctors wrong.

When Amber 3 ½ months and in the incubator, her mom just looked at her and started crying, because she thought it wasn’t fair for her 2 little girls to basically be stuck in a box for the first 6 months of their lives, Amber gave her the biggest smile she has ever seen, and that’s when my aunt knew things were actually looking up for once.

It’s hard to believe that they could’ve been dead, but instead God told them that he
