This man is a magnificent gift.

Small snag.

You see, he literally has a broken heart string. (NOT Emily’s fault and whoever is up for writing that song is welcome and encouraged)! We can’t let him live with that. Well, truth be told, that would not work out well. He wouldn’t make it. We sure love this man. He needs to stay here with us.

Fortunately, there is a solution for our favorite Valentine friend! Unfortunately, that solution is heart surgery.❤️‍

He’s not going to ask for any help. So instead, I am. Obviously, heart surgery is not a breeze. We can help smooth this whole process for Allen and Emily. Please pitch in. Why not make it easier?

Surgery is scheduled for Monday, August 10 at Centennial Hospital, and he will be there for at least 4 days afterwards. Emily will be posting updates here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We are beyond grateful for caring friends in our lives.
