Valentine's day and chd awareness day

As congenital heart defect week comes to an end, I would like to share a letter that I have written to my sweet girl.....

Livi bean,
      In life, we all are different. Some people have things that set them apart when you look at them like scars and birth marks. You, my sweet girl, have something on the inside that sets you apart in more ways than you will ever know. You are the face of so many challenges, hurdles, milestones, accomplishments, prayers answered, and fears. You have experienced more in your short life than most adults would even imagine is possible and yet you thrive. Your smile is something we treasure and never take for granted. Your laugh is something we look forward to hearing on a rough day. And lastly, your eyes sparkle like true gems whenever you enter a room. You, Olivia, are a strong and determined little girl. HLHS to us is only a series of letters, because with LOVE anything is possible.
Many hugs and kisses...
Mommy
