I awoke to a beautiful morning with deep blue skies. I hopped in my truck and headed south to Provo where a crowd of families were gathered in a park outside of Provo, Utah along the majestic Wasatch Mountains.
Intermountain Healing Hearts, a support group formed in September, 2007 for families of children or adults with congenital heart defects (CHD’s) and heart disease hosted their annual Heart Walk.
Along with grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends, parents walked with their children a poignant 1 mile, some in strollers and on shoulders.
Later, monarch butterflies were released during a special ceremony by families who lost a child to CHD.
I'm continually inspired by the support and love families give one another. These experiences and challenges bind a family together that extends beyond this world.
