***THE CAPTAIN'S COMING HOME!***

After more than 3 years on the transplant list, The Captain, the love of my life, finally got  a new kidney! Surgery ended at about 4:00 Wednesday morning and it went without a hitch. Your prayers have been greatly appreciated. This kind and gentle man deserves to have the best in life. I've been laughing and crying since we got the phone call.....at last, he will have a much better quality of life!!!
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive through all the waiting!
Love You!!! Snow***

Update, Oct 23: The Captain's kids are on the way to bring him home! No more being away from his family. No more sleeping in a hospital bed. NO MORE DIALYSIS!!!!! Thank you, God! And thank you, my friends!  I love you all!*****

I would like to take this chance to say thank you to the family that made the donation possible. Their kindness, during a time of sorrow, is one of the greatests gifts we can give....the possibility of life. Please, all my Shine friends, if you haven't already made arrangements to have your organs donated, do it now. I have been registered as a donor for many years. My children have instructions for when I die: Let the docs take what they need for someone else. Cremate what's left & have a bigazz Celebration of Life. My soul will go on forever, why shouldn't others have the chance to live by using what I no longer need? With The Captain being a recipient of such a selfless act, I'm committed to encourage others to consider being a donor. Make sure your next of kin are aware of, and in agreement with, your wishes.
***Thanks! Snow***
p.s. I will try & get to each and everyone of you with my thanks. Please forgive me for not getting to it promptly. I DO want to tell you all how much you mean to me. ******

    Snow, you know I am praying for you and your sweetums the Captain. Shoot, this will be a piece of cake, because your prayers for the waiting to end and his health to return, well, they have been answered.

    There is no doubt in my mind that this one will reach His ears too.

    Hugs to you and yours
