It's Official
So as of this
afternoon, the insurance approval came through and I’m officially on the
waiting list at Stanford…again. Here’s a
picture of our “Code DL” bag the kids decorated this weekend-as we’ll now have
4 hours to pack & get to Stanford.
Given that it takes us 3 ½ hour drive with traffic…our bags are packed
and we have a “Code DL” routine with each family member having a specific task
to complete in less than 15 minutes!
Except me, because I don’t do “rushing” anymore.
And this time, I’m
going to ask my Christian friends and family to pray. But not for me. I know God’s plans for me have been laid out
and are in motion. And they are laid out
and in motion for my potential donor and his/her family too. The difference is that I have some knowledge of what to anticipate, one
way or the other. And I've been expecting something for the last year. This family however, will be blindsided by the
plans.
And so I ask for
prayers for my potential donor and donor family. Prayers that they enjoy and experience life
to the fullest with each other. Prayers
that they speak and show love to each other so there will be no regrets. Prayers that they live in the moment and don’t
worry about the future or strive for things “someday”. Prayers for them to be in the present with
each other and make everlasting memories.
And I selfishly pray that they’ll want to meet the recipient of their
loved one’s heart someday.
That’s it for now. My current lyric selection set to the music for your listening pleasure:

Absolutely! And as usual you made me cry again. Love you and your family. Lifting the donor family and donor up in prayers as the plan plays out. Much love to all.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know that I am praying.
