This week I went to San Fran for a 20 yr anniversary celebrating successful liver transplants. I was nervous I wouldn't meet anyone my age that had gone through similar circumstances, but I was wrong, from the far left is Betsy 52, who had acute liver failure 17 yrs ago and survived 2 liver transplants. Mitch 2nd from the left is very special to me. His liver transplant was 3 months after mine. He had acute liver failure and is 25 yrs old! Both of them have a great outlook on life and we have become like family over night. We have something in common that is rare and that no ones else can quite relate to. The sweet lady in the red is Mary, she is the best nurse in the world! she helped keep all of us together while we went through our tough times. There needs to be more people in the world like her. I will be forever thankful that God brought her into my life. She is one of a kind. Going to San Fran was the best medacine! My spirits are lifted and I feel that if they can keep overcoming the obstacles before them ,than so can I. We are staying in contact and will be there for each other. I feel so happy to be able to share this wonderful experience with all of you dear friends. I love all of you so much.
Love
Bethani
