She's here!

My internet kindred spirit from Norway has arrived. Since I was at choir practice tonight, I did not have the chance to connect with her. But, though she is a donor and I a recipient(she is not my donor), we shared a lot leading up to the moment when our respective events occurred. And after as well. I have really appreciated her support and have a lot of admiration for her for being a donor.

Having connected with one of my daughters, she is staying at her house until she leaves to visit friends in Rhode Island sometime next week.

That, obviously, was the big event of the day. It's actually more than that! It really is the big event of the year. For her to want to come to the states to see me is a gift that surpasses all others. To think that a little more than a year ago we were strangers half a world apart. There have been so many blessings along my journey and this is right up near the top.

God has been so good to me! Why?
