A New Liver

This week was the first anniversary for my friend Jen. No, it wasn't a wedding anniversary, but the first anniversary of her adopting a new liver. One year ago, on February 11th, Jen was given a new chance at life with a donated liver. How wonderful. Her life has changed this past year. She has more energy and can do many of the things that she couldn't do last year. We celebrated with her today by having lunch together. Last year, the night before she got the call, Amanda, Jen and I had gone to dinner at the Hunan House, so that is where we all went today.

If you are not an organ donor, please sign up to be one. I have seen first hand the miracle of donation. You can give someone a new lease on life just by saying yes.
