Sweet Mia

I have been dreading coming on and updating my blog. My heart is broken and I am so sad. My sweet, sweet heart mommy friend Mimi, lost her beautiful little girl Mia. The one mommy (though there are many more of you) that I have known since the my daughter's first day in the NICU. Believe me, I know that life is short and that you can lose a loved on at any moment. But how many people out there are constantly afraid of the cold your child gets, or how winded your child gets when eating. Who's heart stops when your seemingly health daughter doesn't want to eat dinner for no reason. I know there are many heart mommies out there that can relate. For those of you that have been following my blog, you know how special Miss Mia is to me and my family. Mia and Sophia were born on the same day and the took their first "joy ride" to Seattle Children's together. They then shared a NICU room and then subsequent surgeries and procedures were almost parallel. One time we joked, when we were Medivaced and then Mia got her heart a couple days later, that if that's all Mia needed, she could have let us know and we would have just flown down there. I'm going to miss the photos of Mia with her big beautiful smile. I have cheered and cried so many times looking at Mimi's blog. Cheering and praying thousands miles away that Mia would pull through. My heart breaks, that my four year old will not be able to see her heart sister anymore. My heart breaks for my friend. Mimi, I have gotten my strength and courage from you. Mia, we love you and will honor you for the rest of our lives.
