Love of my Life

Love of my Life

Heart Mother

One day my world came crashing down,I'll never be the same.They told me that my child was sick.I thought, "am I to blame"?I don't think I can handle this.I am really not that strong.It seemed my heart was breaking.I have loved him for so long.I will not give up on this child.I will listen to your advice.I will give my child any chance.No matter what the price.I will learn all that I need to help my child thrive.I'll even use that feeding tube.My child must survive!Will he need a lot of therapy?Will he gain the needed weight?Please God, help me do this.I will accept our fate.When the monitors beep at night, it serves as my reminder.How many parents would love that sound.Tomorrow I will be kinder.As another Angel earns his wings,I run to my child's bed.I watch him sleep for quite a while.I bend down and kiss his head.I cry for the parents whose hearts have been broken.I look to You wondering why?Oh Lord, I just can't know your ways....no matter how I try.And yet, I trust you hold his life, and guide us through each day.My mind says savor each moment he's here,but my heart begs, "PLEASE let him stay"!From pacing the surgical waiting room, to sitting by his bed.From wishing for a good nights sleep, to learning every med.From wondering, "will he be alright?", to watching him reach out his hands.With every smile my heart just melts, despite life's harsh demands.For all who see that faded line.I look to them and smile.You see my child is loved so much.I would face ANY trial.That scar I trace with my finger (It's the door to his beautiful heart).God must have known how much I'd love him (Just as He loved him from the start).A heart mom is always a heart mom.Now wise beyond her years.For those who have angels in heaven,Our hearts share in all of your tears.Every day I will try and remember,I was chosen for him (and no other).I will always embrace that beautiful day.......When I became a "Heart Mother"

Counting the days

Counting the days until the we have to leave for salt lake......why is it the days are going way to fast. I 've been getting everything ready for the trip just keeping busy to keep my mind off of the fact that in 6 days my little boys heart will be stopped and restarted for 20 min that he will once again be in the ICU and I will not be able to hold him close to me. I listen to my favorite song everyday to keep my spirit up and keep me getting things done.

Don't give up


It's just the weight of the world

When your heart's heavy

I...I will lift it for you



Don't give up

Because you want to be heard

If silence keeps you

I...I will break it for you



Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don't give up

Because you are loved



Don't give up

It's just the hurt that you hide

When you're lost inside

I...I will be there to find you



Don't give up

Because you want to burn bright

If darkness blinds you

I...I will shine to guide you



Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don't give up

Because you are loved



You are loved

Don't give up

It's just the weight of the world

Don't give up

Every one needs to be heard

You are loved

I am ready to face the storm that lays ahead of us
My lists are made and I am ready to do what it takes to get Connor better and back home to enjoy the summer I will not give up .
