On September 10, 1983, six weeks before she was due to arrive, a baby girl was born in Newellton, Louisiana. This baby was different. The six-pound infant was born with a broken heart. Though her heart would not stay broken, it would take four agonizing weeks of enduring sickness for her young parents to decide to take her to West Monroe, Louisiana, for further testing. … It was there that a pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Terry King, discovered Vonnie was born with a boot-shaped heart.

If These Walls Could Talk

A Special Kind of Love … February is known for Valentine’s Day and Heart Health Awareness Month, both evoking images of love and reminding us to show our appreciation to those we hold close. I could write to you all about how much I love my husband, or take this chance to celebrate my sweet daddy’s Valentine’s Day birthday. But I really want to talk about our family’s number one love—my dad calls her Shelley, I call her Momma, and my kids call her “Love.” … It started when my husband and I were dating and had our first child, our dog Palmer.

Publisher's Letter

Did anyone else feel like they were not ready for January to arrive, only for it to disappear in the blink of an eye? I am still a little salty about Thanksgiving being so late—it completely threw off my rhythm for the holiday season. Add in the most underwhelming snow day ever, and it did not feel like the new year had truly begun until we were halfway through the first month. But here we are, already in February. … This month brings big changes for our family. My husband is starting a new job after working eight wonderful years at Texarkana Funeral Home.

Beautiful. Healthy. Home.
