Truly Blessed......


The top picture is of Thomas who desperately needed a kidney.  Thomas is my friend Jackie's nephew. 

Next picture is Melissa, a family friend who donated her kidney so that he might get well.
I would call that a very brave and true friend.

Aren't they both beautiful with their plush kidney creatures and keeping warm and cozy under Grandmother Stella's handmade afghans! The surgery was on Wednesday.  Our hearts are warm too  to hear such a story and we want them to get well soon.

How wonderful! what a happy story! My husband had a heart transplant 3 years ago so I know how important organ donation is! So happy for these 2!

Bless them both. Sending prayers for quick and complete recoveries. I've got a tissue, too. I know the issues of renal failure and am so happy for Thomas.
