In Memorium

July 17, 1989 - July 17, 2009


20 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 24, an actor/playwright/drama teacher with her whole life ahead of her.
She is also newly engaged, happily planning a wedding, and in the process of moving to England with her fiance.

Sadly, also on that day 20 years ago, a very young boy named Brian died, and my daughter received his kidney.
He was about 2.

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 20 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........ 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 anyone you have lost...... please hug your loved ones and say a little prayer if you are so inclined, for Brian's family.

XOXO



Peace, Sara.

    Ken, K, and I had a great dinner with Marty and Jazz last week! Missed you, though! Ken and the Moose are becoming FAST friends. Talked again about trying to get a party together for the finale in Dec, to also celebrate a couple of BIG bdays...though Jazz says she's boycotting hers ( so NOT going to let THAT happen! ). You should come! Hope your summer has been good. XO PS....both kids are engaged, now! Oy! It's going to get busy up in here!
