I still can't believe that we lost a baby sometimes... Speaking for myself, I have been doing really well. Dan's sweet little bro Lou has brought us so much hope and happiness and joy and LOVE and he made me feel like a Mom again. Not that I wasn't a Mom still when Dan passed away, but between May 19th (when Dan passed away) and June 12, 2012 (when Lou was born) I feel like my motherhood was taken away from me. Make sense? I don't know, its hard to explain. Having another baby has helped heal my heart, but there is still an empty spot for Dan. The last couple days leading up to the 14th have kicked my butt. I miss Dan more than ever. I'm having a hard time lately, but I feel guilty like I shouldn't be sad about it--since I know have a happy healthy baby here. I cry for no reason and get really overwhelmed. Planning a 2nd birthday in Heaven is not the funnest thing to plan but I have to do it. I want people to remember Dan and I want it to be a happy day for us to remember him. He is always in my heart, and my Miracle Dan band is always on. hbere have been so many sweet little Heart babies and Heart kiddos that have passed away this last year, it breaks my heart. I just can't wait to see him again someday.

We realeased a butterfly for Miracle Dan again, too. Thanks to our family who came out to support. It means so much to me that you come and do this to remember Dan. We miss Dan so much everyday and we are so grateful he sent us his sweet little brother Lou. Lou helps me remember that Heaven really isn't that far away. :)</span> </div>

He is truly a gift from Heaven and we couldnt be happier! Thanks for teaching him how to be a good little baby, Dan! We see a lot of you in him!

<span style="color: blue;">I can't believe its already been a year since Dan left us. I miss him so much. Yesterday the 19th was the 1 year mark. We actually had a pretty great day. We went down to Murray for the IHH 5k with a bunch of our family and friends. (I just sat and watched because I'm 35 weeks pregnant) Tyler took 3rd overall. He did awesome. We hung out at Murray City Park for a bit, the weather was great. We also ate lunch there and it was really nice to just sit and relax. Everyone that ran or walked the 5k did great. I am really proud of everyone that came out to support us yesterday. It makes the moments much easier when we are doing something positive it remembrance of Dan. Surrounding myself with uplifting people makes it easier too. I am really happy we had so many friends and family come out to support IHH, the organization that helps other families affected by CHD's and angel families. After the 5k we headed home to watch the Chelsea vs Bayern Munich soccer game. (Tyler's favorite EPL team is Chelsea FC.) They WON! So it was a really fun game to watch, and another great distraction. After that Tyler and I took some pretty orange roses to Dan's grave. Tyler trimmed the grass around the edges of the headstone and it looks really nice. After the visit at the cemetery we headed home and then had a BBQ with some friends. Like I said, it was a great day. I miss my sweet boy so much but I know I will se him again someday. I hope he can see that Tyler and I are doing well, and that we smile whenever we think of him.</span> </div>

<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> The house is filled with holly<br />
And pinecone scents the air<br />
The Christmas cards keep coming<br />
Each one is hung with care.<br />
<br />
The gifts are tied with ribbons red<br />
And topped with pretty bows<br />
I’m done with all the details<br />
As far as Christmas goes.<br />
<br />
The fire is softly glowing<br />
I think about your touch<br />
But Christmas isn’t Christmas<br />
I miss you oh, so much.<br />
<br />
If I could have just anything<br />
My Christmas wish would be<br />
To wake up in the morning<br />
And find you here with me.<br />
<br />
Staring at your picture<br />
I long to be set free<br />
Tonight the tears are streaming<br />
As I hold it next to me.<br />
<br />
Flakes of snow swirl through the air<br />
I’m braced for stormy weather<br />
I wait for brighter days ahead<br />
When we can be together.<br />
<br />
So hold a place in heaven dear<br />
Someday when life is through<br />

We love it so much! It is exactly how we wanted it to look. It is perfect for our perfect angel. We couldnt have done such an amazing memorial without all of the donations to the Miracle Dan Fund. So I want to thank all those who made a donation. We couldnt have done something so beautiful without your help! Thank you so much!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I knew something was going on, because it seemed like everyone was up to something that day! They were trying to be sneaky.. hehehe. Grandpa came upstairs and said we had to get our "camping" clothes on. (I was still very post-baby) but managed to squeeze into my camo capris. (Note: Dan was already 5 days old and his mom had still not washed her hair yet, because she was with him 24/7!) I dressed Dan in a brown and white onesie that had a bear on it :) and some little brown pants, and some brown and white socks. It was the perfect camping outfit for Dan. :) We have a projector in our basement, so from youtube we were able to project a video of a campfire!! Our basement looked completely different -- like the great outdoors! There were also some strange looking animals down there.. hehe. I was still pretty sore so it was hard for me to sit and relax and enjoy myself. Im pretty sure Dan loved it though! He got to eat down there and hang out with his adoring family.</span> <br />

It was so fun! The park in Provo that is was at was beautiful. The weather was great! Our family made tie dye shirts in honor of Dan. They were bright and colorful and just fun! It was a 1 mile awareness walk to raise money for IHH. I think they had a pretty good turn out. It was so nice to meet some of the other Angel moms I have been talking to over the last few months. It was nice to meet the other Heart moms too! IHH is such a great organization and they have helped me so much. The angel ceremony was very touching.

She is a very sweet lady. I think this poem is really sweet and cute. I dont mean for it to be depressing, I just wanted to share it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ask My Mom How She Is<br />
<br />
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies.<br />
She never did before.<br />
But from now until she dies,<br />
She’ll tell a whole lot more.<br />
<br />
Ask my Mom how she is,<br />
And because she can’t explain,<br />
She will tell a little lie,<br />
Because she can’t explain the pain.<br />
<br />
Ask my Mom how she is,<br />
She’ll say “I’m alright.”<br />
If that’s the truth then tell me,<br />
Why does she cry each night?<br />
<br />
Ask my Mom how she is.<br />
She seems to cope so well.<br />
She didn’t have a choice you see,<br />
Nor the strength to yell.<br />
<br />
Ask my Mom how she is.<br />
“I’m fine. I’m well. I’m coping.”<br />
For goodness sake Mom, just tell the truth.<br />
Just say your heart is broken.<br />
<br />
She’ll love me all her life,<br />
I loved her all of mine.<br />
But if you ask her how she is,<br />
She’ll lie and say she’s fine.<br />
<br />
I am here in Heaven,<br />
I cannot hug from here.<br />
If she lies to you don’t listen,<br />
Hug her and hold her near.<br />
<br />
On the day we meet again,<br />
We’ll smile and I’ll be bold.<br />
I’ll say, “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom,<br />
With all the lies you’ve told!”Lindsay and Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05534505577834359093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928828125290276566.post-48157870873145556462011-07-13T22:13:00.000-07:002011-07-13T22:13:29.976-07:00Dan's July decorationsDan has so many fun toys and 4th of July decorations right now.

These pictures were taken at Primary Children's hours after Daniel was born. They were taken right after he was taken off of all the life support machines. They told us he probably wouldn't survive longer than 5 minutes because he was getting worse on the machines. He was truly a fighter. I think he knew how bad I wanted to get more pictures. (We have 2,000+) Thanks for being so tough Dan, I have so many beautiful pictures of you! <br />

I couldn't have asked for a better Daddy for my sweet little boy. I know Dan loves his Daddy so much! Happy Father's Day Tyler- I love you!Lindsay and Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05534505577834359093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928828125290276566.post-63487968844763680572011-06-20T18:36:00.000-07:002011-06-20T18:36:32.918-07:00When we first brought Dan home from the hospital, one of the first things we did was show him his awesome super mario nursery that his Daddy did for him. I don't know how Tyler felt, but the Drs made me feel like he would be lucky to leave the hospital, let alone make it home. When we got home we got really overwhelmed so we decided to sit down in the rocking chair and rock Dan, and read him a story. It happpened to be the story of Easter. I'm so glad Dan was here with us for Easter this year. It was a very special Easter. <br />

This picture of Dan was taken before we came home from the hospital. We didn't have any of Dan's clothes or blankies at the hospital with us yet, because we were expecting him to be in the CICU for 3-6 weeks after his first surgery. (I thought I would have had time to go pick something out for him, too) I had to have Aunt Chelsie and Uncle Nash stop at our house on their way to the hospital to get some things. I had her get his famous green and brown minky couture blankie, and a few onesies. One specific onesie was the one that said "If you think I'm cute, you should see my Aunt Daylan" a custom onesie that Auntie Daylan made for Dan. I absolutely love it and think its so cute and since Aunt Daylan got it for him I wanted him to wear it. It was the first outfit that our little Dan wore (well besides the white one he wore in his NILMDTS pictures.) I thought for sure it would fit him perfect, but it was a little big. Little did I know, Dan would be wearing ALL the newborn clothes that he had, I even had to go and buy some more!Lindsay and Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05534505577834359093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928828125290276566.post-30087549884670186002011-06-13T21:42:00.000-07:002011-06-13T21:42:58.998-07:00Tonight Tyler and I went to the cemetery to visit Dan. The sprinklers had just turned off so the grass was soaking wet. I made a "temporary headstone" so we will have a picture of Dan to kiss as we leave- until we get the real headstone ordered. Grandpa Mark had a visit with Dan earlier today, and he brought him some ninja turtles! Pretty awesome. :)<br />

I just had to re-post it. <br />
<br />
The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. "Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up your heart..." <br />
<br />
"You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted. <br />
<br />
The surgeon looked up, annoyed. "I'll cut your heart open," he continued, "to see how much damage has been done..." <br />
<br />
"But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there." The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. <br />
<br />
"When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up and I'll plan what to do next." <br />
<br />
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart." <br />
<br />
The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well." <br />
<br />
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there." <br />
<br />
The surgeon left. After the surgery, the surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes: "...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:" here he paused, "death within one year." <br />
<br />
He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud. <br />
<br />
"Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?" <br />
<br />
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow." <br />
<br />
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. <br />
<br />
Why?" <br />
<br />
The Lord answered, "The boy, my lamb, shall return to my flock, for he has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb." <br />
<br />
The surgeon wept. <br />
<br />
The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?" <br />
<br />
"Yes," said the surgeon. <br />
<br />
"What did you find?" asked the boy. <br />
<br />
"I found Jesus there," said the surgeon. <br />

I love this version of the song. It is particularly special to me now, as it was playing when Daniel passed away. You can listen to it at the bottom of the blog. I hope he liked it when his Mommy would sing to him- I didnt get to do it very often because it was hard for me not to start crying at the same time.Lindsay and Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05534505577834359093noreply@blogger.com1
