3 year Anniversary

I wanted to post yesterday but it was so busy that I did not have time.
Yesterday marked Makenzie's 3 year anniversary of being a heart transplant patient. We are hoping there are going to be many more anniversaries that we can celebrate Makenzie's life and honor her donor. What a roller coaster it has been with all the ups and downs that we/she has gone through. But we could not ask for anything more, she is still here with us considering we almost lost her last year. Makenzie is an amazing little girl who I am so thankful that she is my daughter. Even though she is so little and very shy, she has such an impact on people. She has come along way over the 3 years. She is writing and has learned to spell her name. She also has learned to identify her alphabets, shapes and colors. We are now working on the sounds of the alphabets so she can start learning to read. We are also trying to teach her to be more social not just with kids which she is doing pretty well with but also with adults.
We could not have taught her all that if she didn't get a second chance. And for that we are so thankful for the amazing family that decided to donate there loved one's organs to save my daughters life and who knows how many others there might have been. Thinking everyday how hard it is to have lost someone especially a child and have to decide a very unselfish act at the most hardest time I couldn't even imagine, to donate there loved one's organs to save another child so they could have a second chance at life and so there family can enjoy another day with there child.
There are no words to thank the family but to just honor them by having Makenzie live a normal life and keep her as healthy as we possibly can and teach her how important it is to take all her meds. So we can show how much we appreciate what they have done for us and her. Even though we do not no the family or anything about the donor our hearts go out to them and again thank them for there generous gift.
The gift of life.
