Happy Birthday Cora

Today is Cora’s 1st birthday.

Cora is an amazing little girl.

Cora’s Mama, Kristine Brite, is an amazing mother.

Together Cora and Kristine Save Lives.

I am sure that you have seen Cora’s button over on the side of my website.

Cora’s Story is full of heartbreak and sadness, of strength and weakness, and of pure love.

Cora lived for 5 short days. In those 5 days, she has accomplished more than most will in their entire lives.

Cora’s Story shares a vision for a day when all newborns are tested for Congenital Heart Defects.

Cora and her Mama work hard every day to raise aware awareness for CHD’s. They work to educate pregnant women and new mothers about CHD’s. I wish that there were more women with such intense dedication raising awareness when I was pregnant. I wish that I would have known how common it is and that there are others going through the same things that I was when my son was born.

I am lucky. My son is lucky. My family is lucky. Owain is here with us today.

Cora and Kristine are Heroes. I am so honored to call Kristine a friend and to know Cora.

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl.
