A New Beginning

So many times in the last year we have all thought about the day when we would meet the family of the man that saved my father's life. Well, Saturday that day came. What a day it was. We didn't know exactly what to expect or what we would say or how things would go. But I am here to tell you that the day was more than we could have imagined. The family we met was strong, compassionate and giving. What we learned on Saturday is that Roy Heck was an incredible man. He was loving, adventurous and lived in the moment.

Something else happened on Saturday. We gained a new family. A family that cherishes the gift that Roy gave. I have no doubt that this is just the beginning of something greater than we could have ever imagined.

Roy Heck, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your gift. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Thank you.
