Needsleep259’s Weblog

Yesterday was five years of life my husband has lived because of his transplant. A lot  has happened in those five years. We have welcomed two more grandchildren, now two and four years old.  We made a family together after Gia stole our hearts, finalizing her adoption on her second birthday.

My husband has progressed to where he doesn’t need oxygen. We’ve managed to cut back the amount of blood work he needs and medical appointments. He has been mostly stable recently. We have celebrated more holidays, birthdays and anniversaries together.

Somewhere out there is a family that lost a loved one, that chose to let them live on by donating their organs. We tried to contact them through our transplant center but they did not answer our letter. I can understand this, and it is their right. We will be forever grateful to them as my husband lives his life, and to the person who left this world, except for a very special part of them; the part that has given us this time.  Thank you beyond measure, because your last gift was truly priceless.
