I also have news to share about Nick's Donor. We were told prior to transplant that BeTheMatch protects Donor/Recipient identity/privacy until after one year of the Recipient's survival. At that time, both parties can sign a waiver if they wish to be contacted by the other. Needless to say, we have been anxious, but tried to remain patient as we waited to be notified. This week we received the news (along with two cards from the Donor) that she does, in fact, want to meet Nick now that the one year "waiting period" is over! BeTheMatch is now coordinating the "meeting" scheduled for the end of the month during the BeTheMatch annual conference in Clearwater. It has not yet been completely confirmed, but we hope to meet her face to face at the event. We will at least learn the identity of this amazing woman who stepped up to save a stranger! She doesn't know it yet, but we already consider her an incredibly brave woman, a member of our family, and a true "hero" in every way. Here's my sweet husband today, Day 365, relaxing and reading. All I can say is..."my cup runneth over."
