This is a special episode of "Heart to Heart with Anna" featuring two heart friends who interacted with one another for seven years before meeting each other face-to-face in person. Anna Jaworski, our Host, was lucky to be invited to this special event. The following day, she went back to Katie, Texas to actually conduct a face-to-face interview with these long-time friends to share the excitement of the meeting and share some valuable stories sure to touch the hearts of those who listen.

Do most Heart Warriors -- men and women born with congenital heart defects -- grow up knowing other Heart Warriors? Is that something that is more common today than decades ago? What kind of bond do Heart Warriors form when they come to know each other?

Today’s show is 'Heart Friends Meet for the First Time!' and our Guests are Lauren England and Jeni Busta.

Jeni Busta and Lauren England were both born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). In the first two years of life, they underwent multiple surgeries to repair their hearts. They later developed arrhythmias and received pacemakers, but have continued to experience SVT and other arrhythmias which have disrupted their lives at different times.

Jeni lives in Southern California with her husband Nick, a high school history teacher. They have been married for 13 years. Jeni has been actively involved in the CHD community since childhood. Who would have guessed that Jeni’s making of a documentary would later bring her into Lauren’s life?

Lauren has lived in Texas her whole life. Her heart has led her to a passion for the arts, and a beautiful friendship with Jeni.
