The way you smile...



Can you resist this smile? This was her 2nd birthday...1 1/2 years after her Open Heart Surgery.

This picture makes me smile every time I look at it.

Miracles

I am a mother of a child with a heart defect & I have witnessed miracles. I have stood in awe watching her tiny heart beating in her chest. I have gazed into the eyes of children & have seen many souls wise beyond their years. While each of these miracles has made me a better person they have also brought me to my knees. Help our CHD Family spread awareness for all our CHD warriors & angels

I love my daughter!!

CHD stands for Congenital Heart Defects. It also stands for open-heart surgeries, needles, tubes, wires, hospital stays, numerous doctor appointments & medications for life. You can't tell when a child has a Congenital Heart Defect, their clothes cover up their scars, covering the truth. My child has a CHD & she will always be my hero. Please join me during the month of February in spreading CHD awareness!
