Hi guys! It’s your heart warrior! ❤️💪 It’s been a long time, so I thought I’d swing by and say hi!

I’ve been keeping busy with my first year of softball 🥎 and I’m still swimming, too! 🏊‍♀️ I’m having fun, learning new things, and reminding myself that I don’t have to be perfect to be proud of how far I’ve come!

So proud of our girl! 💙
From heart warrior to swim star… nothing slows her down. Watching her confidence grow in the water has been amazing!

Aaliyah’s scar tells a story without saying a word… that her heart was opened, not once but twice, and was held and healed. That she has fought as a newborn and is still fighting. Her zipper isn't something to hide. It's something she wears with strength, a badge of everything she's been through and everything she's overcome. That scar is proof of her strength, from God, proof of the doctors who fought for her, and proof that she is here.
Our CHD warrior. Our miracle. ❤️

💙 Drop a 💙 for Aaliyah and all heart warriors today.

Happy National Zipper Day! Aaliyah’s Heart Journey ❤️‍🩹

Most people think of jackets… but in the Heart Heroes world, zippers tell a much deeper story. ❤️

They represent strength, survival, & the incredible journeys our heart warriors face through open-heart surgery.

Today, we celebrate every brave scar and the stories they carry.
