I am a 35 year old woman with cystic fibrosis who received the gift of new lungs on November 22, 2010. Over the years this blog has chronicled many different parts of my transplant experience. This next chapter is a new big adventure, where goals drive and dreams come true. None of this would be possible without my donor, a stranger who I have yet to know, but is and always will be my hero.

The Miracle, the Magnitude
Today I am feeling the magnitude of what is going to take place. The tears are rolling not for myself, but for my future donor's family. For the gift that i will hopefully be given. Just simply for the opportunity I have to even get a shot at this... It is an amazing miracle. The why me's are beginning.... The unfairness for others, the unfairness for me, the miracle for me, the opportunities, just simply the BANG that will happen when my life and my family's intersects with the tragedy of another's...it is just HUGE. Not sure why I am so lucky to be in this situation, but I am trying to just BE in the humble, thankfulness, and acceptance of what is of it all...
