A loving dad surprised his daughter with a tattoo of an open-heart surgery scar that is identical to hers so she would never feel alone.
Brave little Everly Backe, four, has already undergone three major open- heart surgeries with her first taking place only three days after she was born.
Parents Lauren and Matt, both 37, learnt of their daughter's complex congenital heart defect while she was still in the womb and stayed by her side as she spent the first year of her life undergoing two more open-heart surgeries.
