This is late, but the girls had a Christmas to remember, visiting with family, having way too many sweets and finally ending with a magic show, courtesy of Joel. We went a little overboard as it was Lillian’s first Christmas home and Ailah’s first Christmas, but the girls had an awesome time, and so did we as a result.
Christmas Eve was Lillian’s 9 month anniversary of transplant. It was very emotional for us as a family. We are so every thankful to our donor family, words cannot express… All Christmas Eve I thought of them and prayed for them.
I know we posted Lillian's video some time ago, but we finally wrote to our donor family last month telling them about Lillian. We settled on a short letter as the longer drafts just didn't feel right. Hopefully someday we will know who our donor angel was.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the update. I know these are a lot of work but it sure is fun to see all the new pictures! Also, a poignant reminder of what an incredible blessing and special gift we were given as a family--shadowed only with an understanding of the great cost of that gift of life.
