Heart to Heart – May 2015

May is the month in which our heart journey first began, just over four years ago now. The 20 week scan appointment which turned our world upside down when we found out about our daughter’s congenital heart defect and the devastating appointment ten days later when we were told that she was unlikely to be suitable for surgery. These last four years have seen us take quite a journey as a heart family and the anniversary of these significant dates always make me pause and reflect on how lucky we have been and how thankful I am to be able to see Jessica growing into the beautiful little girl she is today.

 

During those dark days, I was encouraged and given hope through other the stories of other heart families and these made us realise that we are not alone in our struggles; that we are part of a community of other heart families. My monthly heart to heart linky was started in the hope that sharing stories would help other heart families out there too.

 

The linky opens on the 15th of each month and stays open for a week so there is plenty of time to share. You can share old posts or new posts, updates on how your heart child is progressing, poems, advice – whatever you like as long as it is related to life as a heart family. If you would like to add the code below to your post that would be great and please do visit other posts in the link too! I’ll also try and share posts on Twitter – and will try and retweet those with the hashtag #hearttoheartlinky

 

Thank you to everyone who linked up last month. I have added posts previously linked up to Heart to Heart on my Pinterest board as well as sharing other CHD-related posts. If you would like an invite to pin to it, please do let me know.

 

Looking forward to reading your heart-related posts this month.

 

Little Hearts Big Love
