    It's my 7 year Heartversary today. Every year I tell myself it's no big deal but when the day is here I feel giddy all day 🫶 I grew another year confident I'm going to live a long life! I wasn't sure about a lot of life things, but every year I feel like I have a clearer picture of what I want the rest of my life to look like! God Bless you all. We are a special group of people and I am so grateful I found you 7 years ago scared and confused! Now I'm ALMOST 57 and feeling fantastic!

    Happy Heartversary, Carrie!!! It's been 7 1/2 years for me and I remember when we first met and interacted on this site so many years ago. As you know, I feel very much like you. I call my heartversary my Alive Day, in honor of wounded warriors.

    We all are sisters and brothers, all of us on this site, and I am honored to be one of you. And in 13 days, I'll be 75! When I was a kid, and even as an adult, I never thought I'd get this far. I used to call it borrowed time, but I was wrong. It's not borrowed. It's a gift.

    Yes, a gift of both time and life quality.

    Congrats Carrie! Another milestone. My 1st (mitrol valve repair and double bypass ) was 12 years ago. This year in March I had aoertic valve replacement and single bypass.

    We will get through by the grace of God!

    Keep celebrating.

    Last week marked my four year Heartversary!.   It is indeed a special day for those of us who experienced a heart procedure of any kind.    Mended Hearts is a great support group.

    Thank you so much. I couldn't have been successful without the mental support from here. Ora, I appreciate reading your posts to everyone so much. Thanks for remembering when I started MH. You're a big part of my healing and I look forward to your continued support! I hope everyone celebrates their Heartversary like it's their birthday every year! God bless all of you!!
