I honor my donor by taking good care of myself (drinking lots of water, exercise, eat right, go to the doctors appt.)
If Mayo's says jump I say how high.
My Anniversary day is Thanksgiving weekend. Every year for 24 years I have been taking flowers to church alter. The parchment reads " In memory of the unknown angel ". That Thursday I make most of the dinner and celebrate with my family. We have all written letters and have not received a reply - and that is ok. It truly is a miracle as I was so close to death. God Bless the Mayo Clinic transplant Staff

@pinkpam Thank you! I too want to honor my Sister for donating part of her liver to me. 5 months post transplant.
I cry every time I see her. But she is the hero in this story! Getting others around me to appreciate life is hard. Esp my husband. How do I navigate his lack of concern for my gift? I take nothing for granted and live each day with awe & gratitude. Your post was touching. SEC
