Heart Awareness Week February 7th to 14th

This friday the 3rd in wear red day in support of heart awareness.  I am working with Kerringtons Heart, www.kerringtonsheart.org in order to spread awareness about Congenital Heart Defects (CHD).  Any business that would like to participate to spread the awareness can contact myself.  It consist of your customers purchasing a heart for $1.00, your cost is nothing all you have to do is display them in your windows, counter, or ect.  All you have to do is let me know if you would like to participate and the amount of hearts you think you may need.  We would love to have all the support we can get for this wonderful cause.  This is something dear to my heart and I am working in honor of my daughter Emma Grace. 


Every 15 min a baby is born with a congenital heart defect, this is approximately 1 in every 100 babies born . 4,000 of them will not live to celebrate their 1st Birthday . I pray and hope just like every other parent who has a child born with a congenital heart defect that more awareness comes soon . Their are no cures only repairs or broken hearts !

IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEONE WITH A CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT, JUST WAIT.... YOU WILL.... MORE THAN 1 IN EVERY 100 BABIES BORN HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HEARTS... THERE ARE 35 KNOWN TYPES OF C.H.D..... C.H.D' S ARE THE #1 BIRTH DEFECT, AND THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH FROM A BIRTH DEFECT...

CHD'S KILL TWICE AS MANY CHILDREN EVERY YEAR AS ALL CHILDHOOD CANCERS COMBINED!!!  C.H.D'S Can affect any family.
I proudly wear this ribbon in support of CHD awareness!

Emma Grace Turner 2/4/10 - 7/11/11   EMMA GRACE:     She got the name Grace Because she lived in the womb when they said she may not, she survived birth even when they said there may not be a chance, then she came home all by God's grace.  Little did we know that her grace from God was only beginning.  God had some very important work for Emma to do.  She taught her family a love like no other and was tough and fought through and endured so many struggles in this world.  See Emma was born with a very rare genetic disorder that had never been seen before, she had a congenital heart defect requiring open heart surgery and she could not hear or barely see without the help of her glasses.  We knew about her heart before she was born but had no idea until after birth of all the other struggles she would have to endure when she entered this world on February 4...

It's Been a While!

Wow, I'm really slacking or either really, really busy one? Its been a while since I last blogged, see I started this blog in memory of our daughter to help get through the grief.  Let's see where are we, first off we recently celebrated our twins fourth birthday on February 4th, Emma's third year in heaven on her birthday, I'm sure she had the grandest celebration of all.  I do wish we could celebrate with her together but I know that one day we will, it's still not easy but at least we have the assurance of seeing her again, some days that is  all that gets me through.  It was a blessing watching little man Easton celebrate, he amazes me more and more everyday!  Kailey is keeping us busy still with cheer and loving every minute of it, she's such a diva !   This brings me to my next point, see this blog was started for our precious Emma Grace and our journey which still continues everyday, here's where we are at today; Kailey still cries at t...
