Happy Heart Day Annabelle — six years later

Happy Heart Day Annabelle — six years later

Seven years ago this month, the Phillips’ family was flipped upside down and turned inside out.

That I wasn’t up for this. That I wasn’t equipped to handle […]

HAPPY HEART DAY — FIVE YEARS LATER, Annabelle!!!!

HAPPY HEART DAY — FIVE YEARS LATER, Annabelle!!!!

I’m just finally sitting down to my computer for today. I spent the day doing normal things. Garage saling. Grocery shopping. Picking out some paint.

The Longest Year of our Life

The Longest Year of our Life

It began on July 20, 2010. We’d known the day was coming for eight months… for the last three months we’d known that it would be a less than ideal day. Our Annabelle was born with half of a functioning heart. Instead of being put into her mother’s arms, she was rushed off and hooked […]
