Well today is a huge mile stone - the one year anniversary of my transplant. At 3.45am on the 25th April the call came and I started on this amazing journey. Although I have so much to reflect back on I will leave that for another blog. I am looking forward to the celebration tonight and feel so grateful and so happy to have reached this stage.
I would like however to leave this entry as a remembrance of my donor. Without her generosity I would not be here and for that I am eternally grateful. I planted an azalea last year in her memory and in the last few days the buds have appeared and it is ready to flower. Please spend a moment to think of her and her family today, and to think of those who have not been as lucky as myself. I also pray that the call comes soon for all those waiting on that gift of life.

Beautiful words, Jac. I'm sure your donor and her family would be so proud to see what an impact their amazing gift is having. Perhaps it gives her family some comfort if they know what a difference they made to a strangers life when they made that decision 365 days ago when their own hearts were surely breaking. Do her family know anything about the recipient(s) or her organ(s)?
On a less sombre note - have a good time partying an celebrating your new life :)
