More Pictures of Lily and a Story about a baby with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Another Mom whose baby just went through the Norwood surgery (first of three surgeries) just shared the following story so I borrowed it and thought it was fitting to share with you.... 

It’s a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus “I don’t want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you”. He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is

 still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, “How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?” The angel smiles and says, “I guess that will work”. But the little angel is still a little scared.

“Will I be okay with only half of my heart?” Jesus replies, “of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine.” Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says “When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart. Enjoy your time with family, play and laugh every day, and when it’s time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves.

Jesus called you back home Lily and we miss you so much!  Here are a few more pictures of my angel:

 You are such a beautiful baby and we all love you so much.  You really do look like your brothers and sisters... they love and miss you too.  

Sweet Lily Grace.. beautiful Lily Grace..  Never forgotten!
