It Takes Heart

Today is another really important day. We all celebrate birthdays, and there are anniversaries for everything from first kiss to first home. But today is not one of those. True it is an anniversary, but not one that many people celebrate. It is the 2nd anniversary of my mended heart. Mommy told the whole story last year, and if you are want to remember or are in need of a good cry (Mommy sure did as she just reread it) just link on my HEART.



It is fun to look back and see all that has happened this last year. I have learned so many words. Traveling has become a favorite past time. Walking and running is my new favorite sport. Becoming Mommy number 2 for little Ryker. But something even more important is that I continue to grow stronger and healthier. Whenever Mommy and Daddy talk about the doctors fixing my broken heart, they always end with how I put their heart back together. And now that Ryker is here to play, Mommy and Daddy tell us how they love both of us so much, that the two of us together just make their hearts grow bigger and stronger.




I have to admit that it is old school to go see doctors or have tests done, but I have noticed that if it comes to my little heart, Mommy and Daddy are still very nervous and anxious. And so I must say that I am so thankful to have had so many miracles in my life, and can't wait to see what miracles this next year has to offer.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe how grown up she looks. I wish we could see you more often, but I am sure glad you have the blog to post on. Thanks for the update.

I haven't even re-read the post that you put up last year about Michelle's ordeal, but I remember it, and I'm tearful. Michelle, you are an amazing girl, and we are looking forward to you visiting Oregon when you don't have to go visit any doctors or have any tests!
