Hearthie Turns 3 years Old

Awww, just only yesterday that I cradled you in my arms. I was crying and praying when the first time I was able to touch you and see you.

You were left in the hospital due to some infections and I am indeed so scared that we might lose you. However, the LORD has been soooo good to make you well.

Now here we are, celebrating your 3rd year of a beautiful life with our family. No amount of joy could compensate for what you have brought into our family.

We love you so much our dear sweet Heart and Happy Happy 3rd birthday!!
