Anniversary Day 2014

Three years ago today!  Not a day goes by that we aren’t grateful for the unconditional gift we were given on Sept 27, 2011! Today three years, Stephanie Moglia (AKA- “our angel”) laid down her life for Jim, so he could continue to have a long, healthy extended life! After three years, “THANK YOU” still doesn’t seem adequate.  

 

HAPPY 3^rd ANNIVERSARY!!    Jim continues to do well and he continues to be described as “boring, by his nephrologists and transplant team.  We both know how truly “non-boring” his story is.  Many that are dealing with kidney failure do not have a donor in place or even a remote possible donor. Those dealing with kidney failure are mostly likely surviving through dialysis treatments, which Jim did not have to endure before his kidney donation.

 

Jim continues to work on staying healthy, sharing his story through personal testimonies as well as both of us working with the NKF, and other community health awareness groups. That’s the best way we know how to put our “THANK YOU” into an active state.  This gift is not taken lightly in our family; it is a daily blessing!

As last year, Jim, along with our daughter and a group from Wilmington University participated in the Bike-to-the-bay for MS.  We also participated in the  Pancreatic Walk/5K for Wilmington, and on October 12th of this year we, once again as a family will be participating in the Wilmington Kidney Walk/5K.  Our hearts are to serve and make a difference.  We know that 2^nd chances are to be used for the good and may this active use continue to be a way of saying, “THANK YOU”.

SO, Happy 3^rd Anniversary Jim and Stephanie! The gift of one of her strong healthy kidneys to replace Jim’s very weakened kidney is still humbling, amazing and incredible to us. Stephanie’s “gift”, without hesitation still leaves my mind searching for more words to show and say THANK YOU STEPHANIE
