Heartbeats make us and they can break us.
When you're still in the womb, your parents get to hear your heartbeat at week 8. They're overwhelmed and cry tears of joy. Their little bundle of joy is healthy with a strong heartbeat.
When you grow older, you come to find out that your heart beats faster around him. Seeing him makes it beat so uncontrollably it's unbelievable.
When you're laying on his chest, you feel his heart beating. It thumps so loudly, you can hear it. It's comforting. Like home.
When you are 8 weeks, you hear your baby's heartbeat and you completely fall in love. You watch her grow and experience what you did.
When you're laying in bed, your heartbeat slowing, you think about all life has given you. An amazing husband, beautiful kids, a wonderful life. You're thankful.
When your heartbeat stops, you don't feel the pain. It's peaceful. They'll miss you and they're hearts will ache, but when their hearts stop beating too, they'll see you again.
