Mark’s nephew, Dylan, was born three years ago with hypo-plastic left heart syndrome. For the last three years he was a little warrior, fighting with all he had to beat all the odds. Today he lost the battle but we know that he is going home to a better place. His time here changed so many lives and I know that his spirit will forever live on through his mom, dad and two brothers. This incredible little guy will be dearly, dearly missed.
Updated to add: Dylan’s mom, Melissa, founded Help-A-Heart two years ago in Dylan’s honor to assist families of children with chronic heart defects. The foundation will continue in Dylan’s memory. Donations can be sent to:
Help-A-Heart, 3505 Redbud Court, Ankeny, Iowa 50021
A HUGE thank you to Jenna & Matt Walker, our wedding photographers, who were gracious enough to stop by our house yesterday morning and give us all the photos they had taken of Dylan at our wedding. These images will be treasured forever.
This is one of my favorite moments that Jenna captured.
