Today, I attended a funeral for a 3 month old girl in our Mended Little Hearts of Tulsa group. Emma passed away last Wednesday from a cardiac arrest. Emma was born with a broken heart also, HLHS or hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Aiden was not supposed to survive his heart surgery; his odds weren't great, they were not even good. In fact, they were terrible. Emma on the other hand looked really good following her first surgery in the series of three. She didn't have all the "battle wounds" that Aiden has. And Aiden has A LOT of scars. I swear you can play connect the dots.
The service was beautiful though. And I held up really good until Mom, Sonya, got up to read a letter that she and Dad, Brian, had wrote to Emma. In the letter, she talked about the last few minutes of Emma's life. The service ended with a slideshow of pictures of Emma and her family.
It is times like this that make me wonder why Aiden survived and yet others don't.

I am so sorry to hear that. Hope the family is handling this. I know it will be a very hard time for them. Wish them all my prayers.
