Mine won't be hidden from me, or from the world. In fact, it will be the most obvious of all transplant scars (a cut right down the front of my chest that even a crew neck tee likely won't hide). And I'll be proud to wear it, just as you are at such peace with your scars and your lungs, and with the promise of so much ahead of you. You really do write beautifully, and you make the journey somehow less fearful, I think, for so many of us who have yet to follow in your footsteps. And for this (and so much more), I thank you. <br />xoxo,<br />Rhiwhatsherfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767972427264230975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-21874646789081540802010-06-22T14:53:50.944-04:002010-06-22T14:53:50.944-04:00This took my breath (in a very good way) and broug...This took my breath (in a very good way) and brought tears to my eyes.
