A Year Later

To mark the one year anniversary of my Dad's heart transplant, I went back and read the blog. There are things I had forgotten about. There are stories that I will never forget. What a year this has been for my family. A year ago we watched Dad go through a life changing event. We wondered if and when life would return to normal. Today we watch him spend time with his family and enjoy the things that a short time ago seemed almost out of reach. Today and always, we have so much to be thankful for. For the gift that my Dad was given. For the years we never thought we would have together. For family, friends and even strangers that carried us through tough moments. For those that rejoiced with us during the happy times. For doctors that come to work each day and help their patients beat the odds. For Roy and his family. For unexpected friendships.
