Trish,
Wow! This day feels surreal. Can't believe it has been a year. Brings back so many feelings... excitement, disbelief, fear, worry, joy, anxiety, happiness! Until that night, it was just waiting and wondering, never really putting my finger on HOW I would actually feel when they called you. Then on my way to Omaha, I was surprised to have all those feelings and I didn't realize I could feel so conflicted. Am I happy? Yes, of course, she is getting a new liver! Am I sad? Of course, will she be okay during the transplant? Am I worried? Nah, not me, I never worry! HA HA!!!!
I have it written in my planner from last year, "Got the call, 5:17pm". I know you received the call before me, but I'm pretty sure I beat you there! Now, looking back over the past year and EVERYTHING you have been through, it feels great to say that those feelings are definitely excitement and happiness. You have been so strong and had the best attitude, even though I know there have been times when you felt broken! You have proven that you can handle anything life throws your way and I am so proud to be your friend.
Love you!
Kelli
