Ayden & Jude: A Five-Year Friendship

We have journeyed the past five years closely with Jude's family, as Jude was born only the month before Ayden at Vanderbilt. Jude was also born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and the boys' surgeries, struggles, and victories often coincided. We often nervously joked that the boys seem to follow each other around the hospital... from the floor to the PCCU and back again.

The first blog post that marked the beginning of our friendship can be found here: http://whattoblogwhenyouareblogging.blogspot.com/2010/06/buddies-ayden-jude.html.

Our families remain good friends. I don't know what I would do without Diana, Jude's mother, and I know that Ayden adores his heart buddy, Jude. Together we will walk as part of the Lionhearts Team. We will walk on May 16th for our families and for others.

Will you walk with us?
