Heartiversary 17 year's


 I can't let the day go by without being thankful for Kenzie's donor. 17 years ago today, someone had to make a difficult decision in such a hard time in their lives to allow their loved one to live on through Organ Donation. 


Even though Kenzie's donor heart didn't last as long as we have hoped for, if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have had those 13 extra years with our sweet girl. 


Kenzie always loved making brownies to honor her donor, so this year, Makayla and Myleigh made some for Kenzie and her donor. M p


We had a picnic at her resting place, ate the brownies, and released balloons to her donor and to Kenzie. The kids wrote on the balloons to send up to heaven. 


Grief is hard, and today, like these days, I love celebrating Makenzie, and remembering her and her donor. Maybe because I don't want to let go, or it makes the day easier for me to get through the day. But whatever it is, it has worked, and I find myself less depressed and more how Kenzie would want me to be.


We love you, Kenzie, and we miss you so much. 


               Happy heartiversary, sweet girl.
