Be a Hero Be a Donor

Today it has been 4 years since Makenzie's Heart Transplant. I don't even know how to express how grateful I am to her Donor and the family that decided to be selfless and allowing there child to donate there organs to children who were hanging on waiting for a second chance in life. It makes my heart full to think that their are people still out there who will think of others in time of grief and sadness, especially when loosing a child. We have had a few times where we thought we were going to loose Makenzie and even now It still makes me cry just thinking about how many close calls we have had with loosing her.

I couldn't even fathom loosing a child and with Makenzie's donor families selfless act they gave her a second, you may say life. Even though it hasn't been easy after her transplant, she is still here learning, growing and loving life.

I truly wish I knew who they were so I could just give them a huge hug and thank them for what they have done for Makenzie, with out them who knows if she would even be here. I have written them but never heard back from them. I hope one day we will hear from them and maybe meet them so they can see what legacy there child has left behind.
Her donor is truly an Angel who has saved Makenzie's life, and I am forever grateful to her donor and the family whether we know who they are or not.

Each year we celebrate Makenzie's Donor with a cake it is our way of showing our appreciation and honoring her angel a day that we will always hold near and dear to our hearts 5/16/2007.
