There was a feast on my island when we got home last night. The most fantastic friends brought us enough Magiano’s to feed the entire family. It was delicious and well timed. You know who you are and we love you dearly! We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful Colorado evening. A few friends stopped by on their evening walks… Read more »
Ryan has arrived in Colorado! Through admissions and heading to final cross match.

Jill and I have laughed on the phone together. We’ve cried on the phone together. We even have finished each others sentences. It is so unfortunate that I… Read more »
I’ve recieved a couple messages asking about a new post. Yes, things are okay. Yes, things are normal. No, we have not gotten a call from our living donor coordinator. Hour to hour. Day to day.
