Silver Lining

[phimugirl]

Even though I've been really busy lately, I've loved it all. I've slept so little, I can't help but be on cloud nine tonight! :) On Friday I spent some time with the girls after a long long week. Saturday was my favorite day this week because not only did I do everything I set out to do that day, but I finally got a more hands-on experience with the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates. I've shared my brother's story on here before and now I've been able to do something to in his memory. It was a great experience. The music was amazing, they had so many talented vocalists. It was a very spiritual performance, and I could feel the presence of the Lord around us. The audience was so joyful with the hymns that were performed, and it was like a divine intervention for me. The whole thing had me crying not long after intermission. It was really tough because the playwright was a liver recipient, and my brother died because he never received a liver. It was a lot closer to home than I expected it to be. I thought of my mom a lot, and what she'd lost. And about what my duty is to make sure the awareness is out there--so that, hopefully, as few mothers as possible have to ever bury their children due to organ failure again. Its a very empowering thing, to see something so close to your heart be played out before you, and to be a part of it somehow. Even though I mostly seated people, it was a great thing to know that they would hopefully learn something about donation and decide to sign their name. I hope to become even more involved with KODA this year and seeing my sisters there made me so happy! I think that's another reason I cried, because I realized that these women came out to support something that truly mattered to me. They are amazing and I hope they understand how much it meant to me have them there.

Thanks for my Girls' Night tonight ladies! It was awesome and I'm so glad we got together. I love you all!

And thank you to my mystery poster. I've been long awaiting your return. Its great to have you back...and those scriptures did help. I've felt very detached from God lately and it was like a drink of water after a drought. Thank you again...you are amazing.
