Today I saw what it really meant to give the gift of life. My mother donated her kidney to her father, my grandfather. Mulling around the waiting room gave me time to think about how much of a hero both my mother and grandfather are to me.
My mother gave one of the most valuable gifts, a new chance at living a longer healthier life. She didn't have to think twice about getting tested to see if she was a match. She knew it was what she wanted.
My grandfather is so strong and persistant. He has been constantly doing dialysis for over a year and has yet to give up hope that he will survive though many in his position do not.
I cannot tell you how much of an inspiration they are to me.
