Living

Today I took Mylah to the park. I watched her run, climb, play and laugh. I looked at my precious girl and my heart was filled with love and gratitude to my Heavenly Father for sending her to us. She has helped to teach us to be thankful for the little moments we spend with her.

Today a fellow Heart Mom had her baby. Remember me talking about Staci in this post? Well sweet Finleigh (severe HLHS) was born today. She's pink, living, breathing, teaching, absolutely adorable and making her parents so happy. They don't know how long she will live, they are taking her home to spend as much precious time with their daugther as they can before she passes. They have chosen to cherish the moments they will have with her and to remember all the good she brought into the world.

As I watched Mylah today I thought of Finleigh. She won't get to play at the park, she won't get to feel the warm sun, the cool breeze and laugh and smile. I am saddened that Staci and Danny won't experience similar moments like this with Finleigh. No parent should loose one child to a CHD, let alone too. There are no words to describe how badly I wish they weren't hurting.

My heart aches for Staci, Danny and sweet Finleigh and I pray that Heavenly Father will grant them tender mercies during their time together. I pray they feel the sweet peace she brings to them and that they will know of a surety, that bringing her home is the best thing for her.

I am so thankful for my living, breathing little girl. I am thankful for her functioning heart and the healing hands of her surgeon. I am thankful for the precious little moments in her life that have helped me to feel empathy for those who suffer the loss of their heart babies. 

Please pray for Finleigh and her family. Pray that her passing will be peaceful, comfortable and in the loving hands of her parents.
