Is it Fall is Raining? or Rain is Falling?........by deb

Which ever the case, how ever your own personal optimisum sees it, this has been a very damp past several weeks if not months here in Arkansas. And I for one am viewing it as just maybe Ma Nature will run slick outta moisture before it's cold enough to snow and we'll be blessed with a dry winter. IE: No snow or ice like last year.

Robin and I had a brief visit on Oct 2nd and 3rd, under the fantastic excuse of meeting with several other folks & a rep from the ALF to do our best to see that there's a Walk for Life in Arkansas possibly in 2010. We met some super people & came away quite hopeful, still a lot of fine tuning and prep work to see it thru.

This weekend Robin's off in flight to a HepC meeting with one of her many other buds. I hope her endurance holds so she can fully enjoy the weekend with all the activities that were planned.

I just dropped by our old forum and was amazed at the low activity level there. However, reading back over our old posts as well as the postings of others brings back the memories of the beginnings of life with a new organ aka Liver. It was and is uphoric at times even now. Probably brought on more by having my 4th anniversary of transplant coming up. I see my transplant team for my 4th annual checkup next month! Right now I'm going thru all those "annual tests/exams" & no matter how well one feels, it still leaves me holding my breath to this day as if waiting on the shoe to drop!

Too, the anniversary always manifests the longing to meet my donor family. I've typed in every imaginable search option I can think of to find an article about my heros who so unselfishly gave life back to myself and probably several others on November 23rd, 2005. It's a longing that will never leave my thought process. So, to anyone out there who has even so much as signed their donor card "Thank You", it's truely an inspiring act beyond words.
