July 17, 1989 - July 17, 2010
21 years ago on July 17th 1989, 2 families lives were changed forever.
My daughter received a new kidney, just 2 weeks shy of her 4th birthday.
Today she is 25, an actor/playwright/drama teacher/childcare worker with her whole life ahead of her.
She is engaged, and happily planning her wedding for Oct '10, and lives in England with her husband-to-be, Ian.
Sadly, also on this day 21 years ago, a very young boy named Brian died, and my daughter received his kidney.
He was very young.
I think a lot about all that my daughter would not be without her transplant.
All of the joyous and triumphant moments we've had over the past 21 years that are astoundingly far too numerous to note or even remember.
We have been so very blessed!
But, I know there is another family out there thinking at this time of all that they have lost, all of the wonderful moments that they DIDN'T get to share with their precious boy........ and I am so grateful and very humbled that in their time of grief, they saved my child's life.
If you are reading this, in honour of everyone you hold dear and especially for those you have lost...... please hug your loved ones and say a little prayer if you are so inclined, for Brian's family.
