Her old heart did the best it could for Gabriella and gave her life for over 5 years, until it just grew too sick to do so anymore. And thankfully, miracle of miracles, another heart was found to take the place of the tattered one. But that old heart was a piece of Gabriella and I can empathize with your need to see it. <br /><br />I'm glad you found closure and I'm glad that Gabriella has a new sparkly heart that has already imprinted itself upon her and will give her life for many, many years to come.Coleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869157972265914508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-64914178198632140722010-06-10T04:39:07.249-07:002010-06-10T04:39:07.249-07:00That's awesome Kristi!!

Both the good and the bad, and how amazing and God-sent it is! God bless you! I'm fascinated every day by little Gabriella, and your strength as her Mother!

I probably wouldn't have thought about it but if the opportunity was presented I may have done the same thing. <br />For me I am choosing to see it as the something that was harmful to her so it is best that it be removed. <br />This post as many, many others that you have written was beautiful done. I can see a future for you as a comfort to other parents who are experiencing the same situation you are going through. <br />I pray that God will use you in a mighty way in the lives of others!Comfypjshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189757592002061446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-87521489842024677842010-06-09T22:50:27.559-07:002010-06-09T22:50:27.559-07:00WOW!
