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 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 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.
What a fabulous and thoughtful post to your donor and their family. Glad to read that Ron and you are doing so well.
