My dad, Danny, was given the greatest gift of all when he received a new heart in 1995. Dad was not supposed to be around to see me graduate high school because of his heart issues/health. However, in the picture attached, you will see him at my COLLEGE graduation.
My dad beat the odds, throughout his life, thanks to the gift of life from his donor! My family and I are forever grateful to his donor and donor family, who allowed him to experience this moment, and so many other bonus moments for the next 17 years.
Each day I wear the green donate life wristband to honor my dad and the rest of my family impacted by organ donation. I also hope it shows just a tiny bit of my appreciation to those who choose to donate life. I will never be able to fully express how grateful I am and always will be!
