happy heart day, kiddo!

another year, another heart anniversary.  we're on number 8 now.  eight years since your doctor sat across from us the night before your surgery and told us that you were very sick but he was going to do his best to save you.  eight years since we were sitting in a waiting room for 6 hours watching families come and go, anxiously awaiting our doctor to show up and tell us what your fate would be.  i cannot thank God, the surgeon, the nurses and all the other people who took part in your journey,  enough.  every second of every day you amaze us with you beautiful heart.    your little inquisitive, curious, kind, energized, tom petty loving, 1,000 questions a day, sweet, amazing heart.  to look at you today you would never know just how sick you really were and for that we are beyond grateful.  happy heart day to my little ALCAPA surviving baby boy...
