Vanderbilt Hospital. "The Call" we had been hoping and praying for. A member of the Transplant Team saying, "we have a kidney, a perfect match, you have a certain time
period in which you must arrive." In complete shock, but with an abundance amount of
joy, our prayers had been answered. My best friend was getting the "Gift of Life."
Although, a joyous occasion for our family, lest we not forget, it was a tragic, and trying time
for the family who had just lost a loved one. Passing on the "The Gift of Life" that others
might live. How do you thank someone who is grieving, and still in a state where realization
hasn't even began?
All pre-surgical testing is complete. The surgery is a go.
The moment the kidney was transplanted, it started working
immediately. My best friend was blessed beyond measure to continue a life without dialysis, with
hopes of a better quality of life. The result....that special "Someone" was part of his life for
Twenty Years!
My best friend, well, that was my husband, the love of my life!
As I'm writing this, with a heavy heart, my husband passed
from this life almost two years ago.
~Fly high my simple man~
~My love still grows for you~
