Today is Wednesday Feb 8… As I was driving to the hospital for Zacharys weekly labs, my mind is always thinking how thankful I am to be here today . Just thinking about the last 8 years that my family has been through. A kidney transplant is not a cure, its to prolong my sons life. It’s to give us more time, smiles, giggles and freedom from a machine, dialysis that was keeping my son a live . People don’t realize that having a kidney transplant comes with a Nasty territory. The Nasty medications, fear of cancer, rejection, bone disease and the list goes on and on…… I don’t know why God choose me to be Zacharys mother. He has tested my strength as a parent many times, he has tested heart, my mind and my sanity. He has turned me into the person I am today…. God has givin me so much strength and courage through this Journey. God has givin me an 8 year Journey of many roller coasters and emotions. I could be angry….but, through this Journey I have put all my energy into saving my sons life and promoting organ donation. My son would not be alive today with out his Gift of Life!! So today I live for today and not let my worries think about tomorrow. Life is short and can change in an instant. Please Huge your loved ones and be thankful for your life today.
