So I am currently watching the LATEST episode of Project Runway...my latest addiction, and this episode is a challenge to make dresses for real women that have a heart defect. And it has just brought me to tears. I know this little boy....he is very close to MY heart and the hearts of SO many people. His name is Nick. He is my nephew. He says the DARNDEST things, is SUPER cheeky, full of energy, super smart, and the cutest brother to 2 other DARN cute boys. When Nick was born, he was born with a heart defect. His heart has a tumor inside, which cannot be removed. Since he was born 5 years ago, he has had many surgeries, had a defibrillator inserted inside to take care of his heart when it forgets to do it's job. He is such a tough little boy, and he just keeps chuggin' along in life, doing the best he can. His mom and daddy are amazing and work so hard to be happy and make life so fun for their little boys. We are so blessed to have the health that we do. We are so blessed to have the experiences we have. We should be so thankful for everything we have and always remember to keep others in our prayers. Faith is such a wonderful blessing...God is real.....
