As we were painting our the newly remodeled area of our house last night. Cheri yelled from another room, do you realize that you recieved the call at this time a year ago and I looked at my watch and said yes.

As I sit here and write the post, my new heart just took its first beats. I would really like to thank everybody for the support that they have given me over the last couple of years. The people that I really owe my life to is my donor and his family, I sat down this morning and prayed for the wonderful gift of life this person has given me and for the ultimate sacrifice they gave to give others life. The other person that I really owe my life to is my wonderful wife Cheri. She has given up more and endored more than a normal person should. She has been my rock over the last 10 years, or I should say 11 years since or anniversary is this Saturday.

I guess what I am really trying to say is thank you to everybody!!!!!!!!!!

Scott - Happy Anniversary! It was so great getting to meet you and spend time with you last weekend and we are all grateful to your donor for making it possible.

BTW, when I got home, it became apparent that my husband is not interested in joining you as MomDad! 6 days of single parenthood was enough for him!

Oh Scott - I could have some fun with this one...like telling you to act your age! The problem is YOU WOULD!
SERIOUSLY... I am thrilled for you and thrilled for your transplant. THANK YOU DONOR FAMILIES ONE AND ALL!
Now that you have this new heart... it is time to share it with the world and spread the news of HCM!

Happy Birthday, Scott; they say the 1st birthday (baby) celebration is all for the parents, yet it seems fitting for you to celebrate it like the parent you are!

Nice to have met you.

Ironically, Gary and I will be married 11 years this Saturday, the 17th, too!

Blessings, Laura
