Today Gracie will return home to her Heavenly Father. There is nothing more to do for her sweet, broken heart. Please pray for this angel and her darling family. I cannot imgine the ache they must feel and the peace that will come when her body that has not known a day without struggle will finally be free. Well done Gracie girl. You have taught many big lessons in the little time you've had here.

About McKay
Mr. McKay is a miracle. He was diagnosed with a soup of congenital heart defects while still in utero including: double inlet left ventricle (DILV), Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a large ASD which has now been modified to create a single atrium, pulmonary atresia, and dextrocardia. He has undergone a series of three open heart surgeries to reroute his plumbing into a flow more likely to meet his growing body's demand for oxygen. He is post BT Shunt (August 22, 2008) and post-Glenn (November 25, 2008), and most recently traveled cross country to have the Fontan procedure at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (July 9, 2010). Today, McKay is a growing near-three-year old challenged with developmental hurdles we are anxiously trying to help him overcome. McKay offers heart baby hope of the most robust proportions. This blog chronicles our adventures.

Thanks for giving out the link to this families blog. I have tried to check everyday and have been reminded how precious life really is. We are so lucky to have a knowledge of the gospel and of life after this earth. As a parent, I think that would have to help pull you through a time like this. I can't even imagine loosing a child. My prayers are with this darling family!

Mindi, thanks for introducing Gracie to me. I sit here bawling my eyes out for a baby and family that I don't even know. But her story has taught me to love more, and to stop taking so much for granted. Your strength and the strength of Gracie's family will forever have left an impression on me.
I have been following Gracie's blog for a few weeks now. My heart is just broken. What a roller coaster that poor family has been on. I can't believe what you heart mom's have to go through. I can't imagine what my kids would feel like dealing with something like this. She really is one special girl to have to endure so much in such a little time. Thanks for the inspiration you always give me!
I'm sad. My tears won't stop. I don't even know these sweet people, but my heart hurts for them. All of them have touched my life, lifted my faith in God, and made me want to be a better person. Thank you for introducing them to me, (even if it was through blogging!) I can't even imagine their heartache at this time. I pray they will find comfort and peace. Thanks also for your beautiful words. You are amazing, and I love you.

Funny how a little girl I never met could make such a deep impact on me. Thank you.
Man Mindi. What have you done to me. I obsessively check that family's blog. It's killing me to even get a glimpse of what this sweet family must be going through. I cannot fathom it. Definitely puts perspective on the life that I used to think was "hard" (like whining babies and a dirty house could ever be hard after reading that...).
Love you....
My eyes are puffy and swollen from the tears I have wept for dear Gracie and her family. I am moved by her brief and valiant life on this earth. God reveales himself through his smallest angels and betters all of us because of it. Thank-you Gracie and family for teaching us. -Rori
