BROOKE & BABY B

I am so grateful for the pictures that were taken by Dana, and the portrait drawn by Rachael of my daughter the day before her first open heart surgery. Not knowing if I was ever going to hold my child alive again was the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. These moments captured have been cherished and I feel so blessed to have them. Had she not made it, those would be some of few tangible things left of her. She has survived 7 more surgeries, she is definitely a fighter. I have many more pictures of Brooklyn, but these ones definitely hold a special place in my heart.
