Lovely thoughts and a great tribute
What a lovely tribute, JoJo from a truly inspirational lady. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Happy 2 year anniversary Jojo and many more to come, I understand totally how you feel itβs a sad/happy day, take care πΈπΈ
Lovely words and very heartfelt meant π»π
I can understand how you must feel, that you are enjoying the life your donor didn't manage to live. But I'm sure that the donor's family must feel that their loved one's death wasn't in vain. If it happened to me it would mean the world that someone else is living a full and happy life. Live life to the full and enjoy every single moment.
My son in law's brother was killed in the Manchester arena bombing. He was only 29 and as every person who knew him said he was a one man party. He certainly enjoyed life and lived it to the full. This is the one thing that makes you feel glad, he never did anything that wasn't fun, he loved his job he loved his friends and he loved his family. Sadly he couldn't be an organ donor due to the circumstances of his death but I'm sure that if he could have been he wouldn't have hesitated. πΉπ take care. Deb
Wow jojo, that is so fantastic and reflects what I feel (and by the looks of it, many others). Iβm waiting to be told when i can write to my donorβs family. So far I only know he was same age, build and why he died. God thatβs going to be a mega hard letter...
The question underneath your post says how did that make you feel? Well it makes me so so sad on the one hand but so so grateful and thankful to him and his family on the other....
As ususal all the best jojo in this challenging time for you.

Thanks miles x you can write your letter and send it anytime you want ... I have written mine but I haven't posted I keep saying I will send when I am settled and having no problems lol ... But that's looking not to be the case so I have bit the bullet and I am posting next week
Thx jojo - do they give you the address or do you just give it to t/p coorginator.
Thx for quick response as per!

It must be even more emotional after your fibroscan news the other day. Youβve looked after this liver to the best of your ability and there must be something causing the damage beyond your control. Itβs not your fault.
It was definitely and I got up this morning and I had a memory pop up on Facebook which I had written the day after the transplant and it reminded me why it was worth everything and at the moment I am not poorly so I am up and enjoying myself if the worse does happen I shall worry about it then xx π
I am sure both families are grateful and proud they could save a wonderful person like you!
Can only agree with all your sentiments Jo
