Reality Check

My friend, Steve, at The Funky Heart makes a guest appearance on Broken Hearts of the Big Bend, a CHD blog.  It is a sobering and insightful article.   I never thought the day would come, but it is so easy as a mom, to get comfortable and forget about my child’s special heart.  I’m so thankful that others have walked this walk and can keep me and Mary Clare in check and remind me that I am a heart mom, not simply a mom.  I must be mindful for her health and be thankful for every single minute that God allows me to spend with her.

“My “secret” to living so long with a congenital heart defect could very well surprise you. To live with a heart defect, you have to first make peace with the fact that your defective heart will one day give out.” Steve Catoe, The Funky Heart
