(I'll give the back story on my next post...MILO'S benefit)This Valentines Day will be the best I've ever had. My love continues to grow for my sweet James and our little ones. It will also be exactly one month post-"call" for transplant and Luluy girl is doing SO well. We will also be able to pick up the Tribune and read LuLu's Story!! Well, it's not just LuLu's story anymore. It is now LuLu & Ashley's story. It is such a rare, rare thing for us to have found eachother and to have shared in this incredible journey of organ donation together. Full circle.
Burden after burden have been lifted from James and I. We are grateful for the trials we've had the last few years but are ever so thankful for relief. We ARE changed, better people because of our trials. I hated being in the middle of them-hated, hated, hated but am glad I was able to experience, learn and grow from them. My dad has always said "learn the lessons Liz" and I believe I have.
Whatever YOU are going through, big or small. Learn from it. Don't let it be in vain. How awful it would be for me to look back on LuLu's illness and other goings-on and have let it get the best of me, well I should say US cause James has been refined as well.
