Mary, I’m reading the accounting of your husband’s rebirth-day with tears in my eyes! The Chaplin being there, the nurse named Abby, your wedding, the symbolism…all of it. What a special moment for all of you. And he finished up with pancakes for dinner! Love it!
He’s already a model patient and you’re the perfect caregiver. You two can move mountains together! Thank you for the update, cuz I was wondering. 😉

Hi Lori!
It really was an amazing experience and the most beautiful anniversary gift of all time. The symbolism coinciding with our union - finding each other in mid life after each of us experienced failed marriages- is also not lost on us - a wish granted, a new beginning, a prayer answered. The bittersweet joy of it all!
We sent off a brief note of gratitude to Dane’s donor this morning through our transplant coordinator, anonymous, of course. We just wanted to let him know the transplant went well, we are so grateful to him, and we keep him in our prayers always.
I was finally able to upload a shot of some festive decor I posted in the hospital room. Check it out. 😊

By the way, I read your recent note to him about how yesterday was quite literally the first day of the rest of his life. He really loves hearing your positive voice!
Thank you!

I’ll check in again soon!
Mary
