The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Well, why don't we say prayers for both of you and the transplant team while we're at it. That's exciting and scary all at the same time and what a wonderful gift from someone you don't even know. Keep us updated Andy and know that we're all pulling for you and the kidney.

You've got my prayers! And Sandy is a hero for stepping up and donating a kidney. We love hearing about living donors. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers on the 29th.  |
