Honoring Her Little Warrior
Months earlier, during NICU Awareness Month, Cori had shared a video of herself cradling Codi in a yellow onesie, rocking gently back and forth.

Calling her daughter a “little warrior,” the post now stands as a powerful tribute to Codi’s strength and spirit.
@princessbroadus_ Becoming a NICU mom was not part of the plan, but it became part of my story. September is NICU Awareness Month, and I carry my little warrior’s strength with me every day. 🍓 #nicuawarenessmonth
