Today, in a heartbreaking way, I was reminded of how lucky I am to be alive and healthy. I was born with three holes in my heart, when I went in to schedule surgery several years ago, the holes were gone and there were no scars. Doctors said my situation was a rare occurrence, and that it was basically a miracle. My best friend’s daughter was also born with holes in her heart, but she died last night. MMT

This isn't exactly true. I was born with a hole in my heart, and it closed up before I turned 10. It's not a "rare occurrence" that a hole closes up. Some of them need surgery, and some don't.

omniaxvanitas, Makes Me Think often changes the wording of stories that get published, so it's possible OP knew this wasn't rare and didn't actually say that, and it was added in to make the story more dramatic.
