I can't believe that it has now been one year since we got the call to
go down to Phoenix. And tomorrow will be the anniversary of Kajsa's
kidney transplant. It gets me all choked up to think about it. But
then again, I cry at the drop of a hat these days. (I'd be great in
movies - or maybe an after school special, eh?) Anyway, the Prescott transplant support group had a barbecue today, so we headed over there after I got off work. It was such a beautiful day. (80 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky.) After we'd all eaten and had a while to chat; our host, Robin, brought out a cake with a #1 candle on top which she promptly lit. We all sang happy birthday, as there's not a happy transplant anniversary song. (I'll be taking submissions, if anyone's up for the task.) Then Kajsa blew out the candle and made a wish. Upon doing so, she proclaimed to everyone, "Now I'm five!" So we had to tell her that this was celebrating her new birthday, not her old one. It might take a while for her to fully 'get' it. But at least she doesn't think she's five anymore. Tomorrow evening we're heading over to another barbecue. I guess it's the season. Yep, with our newfound freedom, and as time goes by, we're making more and more friends. I guess you could say that her transplant actually brought new life to the whole family. What a precious gift. |
