To my handsome little Aiden Matthew, My Son

For the longest time when your mom and I was together we never seemed to be able to have a baby. I wasn’t ready. (8 years later) The day that I found out your mom was pregnant with you was by far the happiest day of my life. Your mom makes me very happy, but to have a son, that feeling can’t be explained. Yet, I can’t tell you how I felt when they told me, “something was wrong”… they told me you had a broken heart, and I swear, if I could give you the parts that your missing buddy, you’d have them in a second. Sadly, it’s not that simple. I’ve never in my life felt so helpless. I don’t know if the decision to fix your heart & issues the best we can will cause you alot of pain. I don’t know if this can fix the issue some of the best Doctors and specialists in this country say you have.

I’m not sure how I’m going to explain to you why you cant be climbing trees and doing crazy things or even playing football or hockey. You’ll see alot of your friends or peers playing and doing these things. But you have to understand that any contact to your chest probably will kill you. Please don’t hate me.

I will do everything in my power to give you every chance to survive. I love you.
