One side of the heart has contains a child's drawing with markings in purple crayon while the other side is blank. The side with the markings is faded from exposure due to sunlight after being hung in a window.

History: This was a heart the Armstrong family made in the last week of March when things were starting to get very scary and they wanted to share their message of love and support to the world. The heart was decorated on one side by Sophie (age 1), Kimberly's youngest daughter (of two). The heart remained on the window until mid July 2020.
