Fifteen years ago, a beautiful baby boy fought his way into this world and against all odds spent the next 24 days making it a better place. Hart had a huge impact on so many lives. I say this, not pridefully, but as an awestruck witness. It is an unimaginable blessing to hear from so many people who have been forever touched by Hart’s brief, but perfect life.
Fifteen years later, Hart continues to make an impact. Often I hear from people sharing ways that Hart has touched their life. I am humbled to be used as an agent for so many good things that come from Hart’s life.
Holding and looking into the eyes of a newborn baby, you experience the most pure of loves. When you know that your time with that baby is limited, you begin to realize that that love actually resides in all of us.
Today, in honor of Hart’s golden birthday, I am asking anyone who would like to celebrate with us choose love. Act from love, speak from love, and react from love. Start at love and end at love. Let love win.
Choose love over prejudice, anger, impatience, confusion, frustration, the desire to be right, or resentment. Show others grace, justice and mercy. Treat each other gently. Just LOVE-the rest will sort itself out.
Perform an act of love or kindness. Bridge a divide. Swaddle them in kindness and understanding.
Today, see only the love inside them and act as if you know that your time with them is limited. Cherish and love others today the way we cherish and love Hart. Today, let love win.
Thank you for honoring our precious Hart and allowing me to share him with you!
