This week's theme at I Heart Faces is "hearts," and I simply couldn't resist entering this week. Although, as usual, I waited until the last minute and now I'm scrambling to get a post up before we have to leave for dinner and after shooing all the kiddos out the door on a massive valentine candy high.
My entry this week, of course, is Caden. I literally just teared up looking at this picture, thinking about my boy's special beautiful heart and the miracle of who he is. In case you're popping in from I Heart Faces and don't know the whole story, Caden was born with severe heart defects and had open heart surgery at 5 days old. The three weeks he spent in the cicu at Choa Egleston were the scariest and most beautiful ones I have ever faced. God met us, and encouraged and uplifted us, in incredible ways, even as we surrendered our son.
Thankfully, Caden is home with us and just had a fabulous check-up with the cardiologist - so what better day to celebrate his heart made whole!
As usual, head to I Heart Faces for more beautiful hearts this week! (I happen to know of several other wonderful "heart babies" whose pictures have been entered - be sure to leave them extra love!)
