third heart transplant anniversary

Today is a very special day, it is the third anniversary of Dahlia's heart transplant.  I remember clearly all the emotions I was feeling that day; joy, sadness for the donor family, and overwhelming gratitude.  We have been given three beautiful years that would have been impossible without organ donation.  Before Dahlia was placed on the waiting list for a new heart, organ donation was a subject which I really didn't think about and I am ashamed to say, I was not registered as an organ donor.  This was something that I though never would affect me, but it did and I am now a registered donor.
