Transplanniversary Party

Yesterday, my brother & his family threw a party to celebrate the one year anniversary of his heart transplant [otherwise known as his one year birthday].  They celebrated along side of friends & family who supported them through the past two challenging years by making hospital visits, providing emotional support, offering childcare and or to lend an ear.   It was a very celebratory & positive evening.

Folks were sent home with "loot bags" containing heart shaped cookies, a green ribbon to honour organ donation, a Trillium Gift of Life pamphlet & information on beadonor.ca .  It was a very nice touch!
