Thank you very much it is kind of hard to celebrate birthday it is just another day for me  I will be the last of my family in the coming years. My celebration is tommorow it will be 2 years with no drinking. Drs. said I could have a good 30 years more. The test have been excellent.

Hi Rita,

I am still not comfortable talking about my story.  It involves a long journey with Diabetes, a Brown Recluse Spider bite and many, many complications after surgery.  Thank you for your friendship and the opportunity to bend your ear.  I hope one day soon, I can begin to open up.

Thank you, Rita.  My road to transplant surgery was bumpy and my recovery has been about the same.  I am finally feeling better and looking forward to getting on an even road.  My Niece was my donor and I will be forever grateful and very proud of her!

We all have been given along our path a packet of seeds that will blossom into beautiful flowers. However, we have to make choices of which seeds we wish to drop along our path. Depending upon the time, environment and our care of the seeds some will grow and some will not. Other seeds we just hold in our hand during our journey down the path and when we are old we plant them. Today I am finding some of those seeds in my hand and I think I will plant one it is called my writing…
