Happy Anniversary to My Husband

Ron and I were married 19 years ago today.  We dated for 6 weeks and married at the courthouse one afternoon - Ron and I, and Libby (our little flower girl).  We had dinner at the Red Lobster and brought home strawberry cheesecake for dessert.  

It seems like yesterday and at the same time (after all we've been through) it seems like 100 years ago.

This morning Ron surprised me with flowers, candy and McDonalds for breakfast.  It would have been a very different day if he hadn't had the liver transplant just 6 months ago.

So today, as we celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary, we will continue to honor the donor - he or she is with us everyday.

Happy Anniversary Ron, I love you.

Six Month Milestone

We've been talking about how lucky we are.  Six months ago (at this very moment) we were sitting in the waiting room and Ron was receiving his liver in surgery.

We know of so many people waiting for transplants, and some with End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD) who won't ever qualify for a transplant.  

We know there is a family out there thinking of this day with a heavy heart - missing their loved one.

We rejoice in being given the chance to continue our lives together.....and on this day, we honor the donor.

There are so many precious memories we've made since Ron's transplant.

I won't say it was easy, because it was not.

I won't say sometimes I didn't think we wouldn't make it through the changes in medications, mood swings and snarkiness.

We found our way through the illness, challenged through the transplant, and out the other side with hope.

Ron is well - the crazy symptoms have left - he's working, helping our grandson with soccer and enjoying the family.

Many memories and hopefully many more.

Thank you for your love and support.
