Wow, a year goes by so quickly, doesn't it?

Thanks, Liz, for that wonderful yearly reminder for organ and tissue donation. And best wishes for continued health and happiness for Laura!!!

Thank you for the update, Liz. I love the new picture of Laura. She grows more beautiful each year.

Angels on Earth... organ donors.

I love them.

We got a call from the hospital social worker saying they have a letter for us! A letter from Baby Robert's family!! They don't know who we are and we don't know who they are so any communication goes through the hospital. We got a short note from them when Laura was a few months old and now we have another one! They'll give it to us on our next appointment (July 16th!) I hope we find out their lives are as blessed as ours have been!

It crossed my mind that maybe they (or someone who knows them) are Disney fans and saw this thread! Slim chance but you never know!

Oh my gosh. You must update us. What an amazing thought that they reached out to you after all these years.

I am grateful for your post and for the reminder. This is when I usually remind my DH and now my DD (even though she's only 10), that if anything ever happens to me they can have all my organs. And I tell DH that if he goes first, his organs are being donated. I don't believe he's truly on board with my decision but I know he will honor my wishes. I have it marked everywhere I can so it will be hard to ignore it.

I remember this thread from last year. I loved it then and still do!
