Borrowed...
Another Facebook status that I have to share.
It is really so beautiful...and true.
'God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered "Come with Me." With tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best. Put this on your status if there is someone in Heaven you miss every day ♥'
Mommy loves you and misses you so much Tristan!!!
♥ xoxoxo ♥

Every 15 Minutes...
I borrowed this from a Facebook status.
It is very meaningful...
Every 15 minutes a baby is born with a congenital heart defect. 4000 of them will not live to celebrate their 1st birthdays with their families... How are there so many babies dying from this and there is so little awareness? Have you spread the word today? CHD Awareness is the first step to saving lives with more research and funding. ♥

Today...
Today was hard.
Today it was the Balloon Release Memorial at CHEO.
Today I cried. Alot.
It's funny how I thought I was doing okay, but then gathered among other grieving parents I realize I am not as strong as I thought I was.
As the song played on the radio at the Memorial and we began to release the balloons to the sky, I cried.
Watching our balloons for Tristan lift up to the clouds and mingle with all of the other balloons was a beautiful sight, but heartbreaking as well.
Too many children gone too soon.
Today was a reminder of that.
Today was a reminder of the pain...
Though somehow I feel just a little bit better.
Today I allowed the floodgates to open, when I usually lock them shut.
Today I allowed myself to grieve...

Pay It Forward :)
Just before this past Christmas a fellow Tim Horton's-lover paid for my ice cap addiction in the drive thru :)
I was in disbelief when the cashier said my order was paid for by the car in front of me. Really?? People do that? I later found out that, yes, people frequently 'pay it forward' around the Holidays.
Well, in my state of 'shock' - I drove away sipping my ice cap with a smile...but later realized I forgot to 'pay it forward' to the car behind me.
It was on my list of to-do's...seriously it was.
But I kept forgetting.
Finally a couple of weeks ago I remembered...and had the wonderful opportunity to tell the Tim Horton's cashier that I would like to pay for the next car's order.
What a fabulous feeling that was!
It was merely a hot chocolate that I paid for...but my hope was that the lady behind me enjoyed her order with an extra big smile that day :)
With Spring finally here and everyone in a fabulous mood - do yourself a favour and 'pay it forward'.
Whether it be through coffee (who wouldn't love that!) or doing something thoughtful for someone...anyone - your thoughtfulness will not go unnoticed.
And if you can put a smile on someone's face (even if you're not there to see it), it'll be totally worth it to 'Pay it Forward!' :)

Tomorrow...
Tomorrow is Tristan's 6th Fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
We are keeping our fingers crossed for a wonderful turnout!
The more people who attend, the more people there will be who know about Tristan and learn his story.
These events are really important to us - not only to raise funds for a great cause in Memory of our Angel, but also to raise awareness for the terrible disease of CHD.
According to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada:
** Congenital Heart Defects: 'About 1 of every 100 babies born has some form of heart defect, representing 1% of births. These heart defects range from a tiny hole that will never require treatment, to a life-threatening heart defect in which blood carrying oxygen and nutrients is pumped throughout the body.'
Please help us to support CHEO and CHD!
Even if you cannot attend the event, please spread awareness!
As Dr Phil says “You can`t change what you don`t acknowledge”

Tristan's Birthday!
Today would be Tristan's 3rd Birthday.
It is hard - no - impossible to actually put into words how I am feeling today.
Happy, angry, sad, depressed...just to name a few.
I am so deeply happy and proud to be the Mommy of such a special boy, and I wouldn't change that in a million years. I just wish he was here. With us. Where he is supposed to be.
We will be releasing more balloons for Tristan tonight...and lighting a candle for him to see.
Mommy loves you Angel!
I miss you so much!!
XOXO

Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week!
Please join us in supporting the fight against Congenital Heart Disease.
CHD Awareness Week
February 7 - 14, 2011
Excerpt from: http://tchin.org/aware
CHD Awareness Week
February 7 - 14, 2011
"CHD Awareness Week is an annual awareness effort to help educate the public about Congenital Heart Defects. Participants include individuals, local support groups, national and local organizations and congenital cardiology centers throughout the world!
Congenital Heart Disease is considered to be the most common birth defect, and is a leading cause of birth-defect related deaths worldwide.
Despite the fact that CHD affects approximately 1.8 millions families in the U.S., a relatively small amount of funding is currently available for parent/patient educational services, research, and support.
By sharing our experiences and providing information, we hope to raise public awareness about conditions that affect approximately 40,000 babies each year in the United States alone.
It is our sincere hope that efforts to educate the public will result in improved early diagnosis, additional funding for support and educational services, scientific research, and access to quality of care for our children and adults."
