I remember:
My daughter Sarah had a wonderful smile and laugh. She kinda shrugged her shoulders and had a laugh that she was up to something, but she wasn't going to tell you what is was.
Her bringing home a small kitten which apparently was born with a birth defeat. She named it Tabby. It just wouldn't walk right. We had that cat for many years....when it ran it hopped making long leaps. I will never forget that cat.
She would always bring her friends home.. there were always kids at our house playing.
Her getting a puppy and it chewing on the legs of my old claw foot table.
I don't remember the name of the stuff but it was green and slimy. She threw some of it up in the air in the living room and it got stuck to the ceiling. That mark was there for many years.
Sarah giving her sister, Savannah a black eye Christmas morning by pushing her out of the way to open presents. Savannah hit the coffee table. It wasn't really funny then, but still a memory.
Sarah getting medals at the U.S. Transplant Games and most importantly her being able to attend!
With me driving to her Transplant Center and getting lost numerous times. I don't have a good sense of direction apparently. I think this mostly irritated Sarah, but gee you get to see new places.
Me donating a kidney to Sarah...I still remember waking up from the surgery and my Dad and sister where in my room. The first thing I asked if the kidney was working. They said yes it started working almost immediately. Most wonderful words a person could hear!
I remember driving Sarah home from hospital one time....she looked out the window and said she seen little green men running along side the car. Gee they must give some good drugs in the hospital. Another time she seen butterflies flying around her room. Sure glad she never had bad things like spiders and snakes.
The main thing I remember about Sarah is the courage and strenght she had to endure ESRD. She even made me a stronger person.

Pam,
You can be sure that Sarah truly appreciated everything you did for her.
I know first hand that a mother's care can mean so much when battling ESRD.
