Happy Saturday!

As we get closer to July 23, my heart is filled with gratitude.

In just a few days, we'll celebrate Gary's 1-year kidney transplant anniversary. 💚

This past year has been anything but easy. There have been victories we celebrated, setbacks we never expected, hospital stays, countless doctor appointments, medication changes, moments of fear, and many prayers. Through it all, we've learned that a transplant isn't the finish line—it's the beginning of a new journey.

As a caregiver, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible gift of organ donation and the strength it takes not only for the recipient but for the entire family walking beside them.

Today, I simply want to say thank you.

Thank you to the donor and the donor's family for giving Gary another chance at life. Thank you to every doctor, nurse, therapist, and healthcare worker who cared for him. Thank you to our family, friends, and everyone who prayed, checked in, brought meals, sent encouraging messages, or simply stood beside us when we needed it most.

And to my fellow caregivers: if you're in the middle of a difficult season, don't give up. Progress isn't always a straight line. Some days are hard. Some days are beautiful. Keep showing up, keep loving, and keep hoping.

Every day is a gift—and we're looking forward to celebrating this milestone together on July 23. 💚

If your family has been touched by organ donation or transplantation, I'd love for you to share your story in the comments. Let's celebrate the gift of life together.
