My little 8-year-old was certainly on to something, as we were walking the beach back in August; she made a very basic point that carries a whole lot of punch.ย ย โ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ๐ฅโโฆ Itโs such an innocent way to put it.ย 
CHD is weird. You watched your adorable baby brother enter, and then exit this world all before turning fiveโฆ
CHD is weird. You saw tubes, wires, bandages, and pumps connected to every square inch of his body, and still called him โsooo cuteโ in your tiny squeaky voiceโฆ
CHD is weird. You wanted to help feed your brother, and thought it was โsillyโ that he could only eat through a tube in his nose…ย
CHD is weird. You helped set-up his blue bedroom upstairs, only to watch us take it apart when he never came home…
CHD is weird. You pick out a sweet treat every August and sing โHappy Birthdayโ to Heaven, while discussing how tall your brother may have been this yearโฆ
CHD is weird. You like to look for those โmagical momentsโ, such as spotting a red cardinal, unexpectedly meeting new โheart familiesโ, and finding extra ways of โdoing goodโ in honor of our Warrior….ย
I agree, MacKenna, CHD is weirdโฆ
One minute youโre holding your child in your arms, and then โPOOFโ, like magic, they disappear. CHD is weirdโฆ so weird, that it magically changes your entire world. Life itself becomes an illusion created by your own perception; desperate for purpose, and heavily dependent on good perspective.
