- I am the wife of a wonderful man who has given me the best 10 years of my life.
Now, he needs a liver transplant, but we have not let that fact destroy us, or make us fall apart, as a matter of fact, we have met some of the greatest people we have ever known from the whole TP support network! God never shuts a door without opening a window, is what I say.
There is ALWAYS hope, and ALWAYS we thank God for life. and to the heroes who have or will donate organs, we say Thank You, and God Bless You always.
