Happy Anniversary, Kid(ney)

Well, today marks the 2nd anniversary of Uncle Rob's kidney in my body. 2 years not on dialysis, 2 years of more strength and more hair. The good of having a life far outweighs the bad of taking a lot of medicine. I have had to deal with a lot of emotional issues, however(please bear with me; this is my therapy session). 1. The issue of feeling that I'm not thankful enough. It's hard to write, because I AM thankful. Every time I pee, I'm thankful. I just have a hard time showing and telling people how thankful I am. It's not just about my kidney, it's about a lot of things. I love it when my daughter gets something because she almost always says thank you. Two weeks later she'll, out of the blue, thank you for that thing you gave her or did for her then. She shows us her thanks by hugging and kissing us. I take too many things that are given me for granted, physically and emotionally. If you read this, know that I love you and I thank you for being here in my life and part of my family. If you are wandering through via the next blog button, thank you for reading. I want to be more grateful on the outside along with the inside. Uncle Rob, if you read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don't know how I can show you how thankful I am, but I'll think of something. I'm trying to do right with the gift I was given, because that's what God wants us to do. I'm slowly losing weight and feeling better. I want you all to know I love knowing about your lives in other states, your opinions, and your political views. Next time you see me, I hope I'll reveal how grateful I am for you outwardly, not just to myself. I love you guys. Out...
