Taylor's mom was overcome with emotion when put her head to Patricia's chest and her daughter's heart "had this huge kick." http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39456266/from/toolbar Cystic Fibrosis- dx at 2yrs. -2nd double lung tx-05 Jackson Memorial Hospital Join Facebook Questions- Contact Hostess Rise My Photos on Transplant Friends Karen Member Username: Pandaparade Post Number: 42 Registered: 09-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 28, 2010 - 07:16 am:    I had tears in my eyes just reading the subject line. What a heartwarming story! I hope transplants keep getting such media attention so more will donate in the future. Thank you for sharing that!

I always wanted to do this ever since I received a letter from my donor's mom in which she stated how much she missed her child and how she spent the first two years just lying on her couch eating comfort foods. Unfortunately, we will never meet due to strict confidentiality laws in Canada. She said my letters really helped her. I encourage recipients to write their donor families. It is not an easy thing to do, but it will bring comfort to them. Thank you for posting this.

I, like Karen wish the media would do more in this area. We at Transplant Buddies know that there are these types of stories happening everyday somewhere and like Rise, we need to share them amongst ourselves - but, I I think there may another calling - we (Transplant Buddies) need to take these stories outside of our forums and pass them on to everyone we know. Today, this can easily be done in the form of an email -with either an attachment or embedded link. Today, I will send this link to family and friends in hopes that they too will pass it - and, if through my efforts, one person begins to look at 'Organ Donation' differently - then Taylor or Taylors story touched another life. max 10.20.2010 non-directed kidney donor 'OCTODONOR' "We are continually faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems."

Please tell your friends to visit transplantbuddies as well. I just realized (I was super tired this morning) that I posted this thread in the wrong forum. Oh well, for now it can stay here.
