My husband and I were recently discussing our latest attempt to obtain life insurance for our six year old son. Our applications for coverage are always futile because of my boy’s underlying heart defects.
My son and my 10 year old daughter were sitting nearby and heard us talking. She asked, “Why won’t the company give him insurance?”
We don’t hide the fact that he is different, so I picked up my son, squeezed him and answered, “Because of his heart.”
Then my son, in his dramatic fashion, replied, “What are they talking about? My heart is beautiful!”
Indeed, it is, son. Indeed, it is.

I think you need to send a video of this kid to the insurance company. How could they resist him?

If only insurance companies were run by humans instead of robots. Then with that response, he’d get covered for sure.

Oh my Lord Momo that made me cry. His heart is indeed very beautiful, as is his mummy’s.
Sorry I’ve been so absent. Life’s been mad but we’re in the new house and hopefully moving forwards. Big hugs to you and your amazing family.
And the dog photos were fabulous hon. xoxoxo

From the short time I’ve been reading your blog, I know that your son’s heart is beautiful too! Thanks for the encouragement to bug my OB as much as possible. I had known your babies were premature but had no idea that premature meant 30 WEEKS!!! They’re amazing. You’re amazing.

His heart is too beautiful for words.

I dare any insurance agent to sit across from your little angel and hear his words and deny him insurance.
