Coming up on my 4 year liver transplant anniversary and my life has completely charge. At the time of my transplant my wife was six months pregnant and since the birth of my daughter three years ago, we've welcomed a second daughter just 4 months ago. Being alive and experiencing fatherhood is indescribable. Emotionally I do feel much calmer and more at peace since the transplant. For me the toughest part of my recovery was that my mind rehabilitated more quickly than my body. I think I wanted to be able to do more than my body would let me.

@metallicpean, congratulations on all, life is good. I am so happy for you to be experiencing so many wondrous things. There is nothing like a new baby, and of course also nothing like the second chance to live that transplants provide.

Patrick, I wish you an early congratulations on your upcoming transplant anniversary. Do you and your wife (and daughters) have any celebration plans? Early on, someone told my husband that we should celebrate every year's transplant anniversary, just like we would celebrate a birthday or wedding anniversary. For us its a special dinner at a favorite restaurant. We will do it again this year for my 8th year.
