@376ak2567, I'm so glad that @gingerw's post inspired you to make your first post in the Transplants group. I can imagine that you are grateful for the 17 years that your husband's donor gifted to your family. How are you doing today?

Thank you for asking. Since my husband’s death our son also received a heart transplant. I never thought I would have to go through this twice. Same heart problem passed down in the family. Son is doing fine, he is heading towards his fifth year. Both of the them wrote to their owners, but did not receive an answer. Son thinks that it has to be very difficult for the donor family to relive the loss again.
