It's a new year! Wow, 2009 was one never to be forgotten. Nearly half of 2009 was spent in the hospital for Scott and running back and forth from the hospital for me. It was a year of blessings. Scott received the greatest gift - a new heart. We are truly humbled by it. We were supported by the countless prayers and acts of service from so many. We were literally held up. I feel like I had my darkest moments and my greatest triumphs - all in a short period of time. I only need to remember what I almost lost to be grateful for every little part of life - including the difficult and mundane. I've gotten to know many good people through this experience and become closer to others. I can look back now with a little perspective and realise the good that has come from this difficult experience. I haven't decided I could do it again but I can say that I'm glad we got through it!
Happy New Year Everyone!
What a year!

ReplyDeleteMelanie, Thank you for sharing Scott's amazing story. I was born with a congenital heart defect and I may need a heart transplant later in life. I'm inspired by Scott! I pray 2010 will be a great year for you, Scott, and your family.
