When Ward Miles Miller was born, 15 weeks prematurely, he barely weighed a pound and a half.The struggling infant spent his first 107 days in a neonatal intensive care unit, attached to a host of machines to keep him alive. 

Now a short, but emotional, video of Ward’s first year, created by his dad Benjamin, show's the child's fighting spirit and will to live.

December is National Prematurity Awareness Month, for more on the cause and how you can help visit March of Dimes.
