@ess77, That is a lovely thing to say!
Connect is a gift made possible to me because of my gift of my organ transplant at Mayo in Rochester. I have a memory to share with you, A gift of a dream come true. The photo that I shared here is of me and the Mayo Brothers. It is on the Mayo Rochester Campus. For 13 weeks my husband and I lived at the Gift of Life Transplant House and rode the patient shuttle to and from the clinic. I used see patients and visitors posing with this sculpture. My dream was that someday I too could pose there, too. So, on my 1st annual follow up visit to Rochester, with a healthy kidney and liver, my dream came true.
Elizabeth, thank you for your participation and your encouragement on Connect.
