Good Afternoon,
I wanted to write a quick note today to say hello and to tell you all about a blessing that I received today. One of my classmates from college and very good friend, Lisa Bartenhagan told me about a friend of hers that had a liver transplant 14 years ago, and she thought I may want to speak with her. We were able to connect today and after 35 minutes on the phone I felt as if I had found a new friend. Sharon was so easy to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable in a very scary situation. As I bombarded her with questions, she was so kind and patient to answer each and every one of them. We have made plans to meet the next time I am in Omaha, where she lives, and I cannot wait. Before Sharon had even spoken to me she invited me to her home to talk about the transplant. Even though we have not met, I can tell she is such a strong individual, with a contagious positive attitude. I thank God, and Lisa that she has come into my life. Like I have said before, I do have cancer, but with that has come many blessings and I am truly thankful.
I would also like to thank from the bottom of my heart Gracie's 4-H group, Boots-N-Spurs. They had a benefit lunch, raffle, and silent auction for us at a recent horse show to help with medical expenses. Their donation was so kind and generous that when they presented the check to us I was so overwhelmed and speechless. We appreciate it so much. There were many that donated items and I just want all of you to know how much it means to me. I am surrounded by many angels in my life and am truly blessed. Thank you Kelli for the heart warming message on my blog. You know me, I cried my way through it, and it meant so much. Have a great weekend and thanks again for all of the support.
Love Trish
