I urge you all to read this story by our own @AliEm14. it moved me to tears, and it made me think about what metrics we really should analyze to assess success…
Wow! I felt closed in when reading. I had to put it down and grab a coffee to actually digest it. I too was very emotional. I don 't know if what we have all b een through and witnessed has an impact, but what a heartfelt testamony.
Thank you Karin for sharing the story. Thank you AliEm14 for being so straight forward with a truly personal story of love, grief, sadness and joy. Your brother is a hero for sharing his body to save you, and you are a hero for sharing the story with us.
Thank you for sharing this Ali and for bringing this to the forefront today Karin....tears, emotions, family, love, joy... everything is flowing! It is hard to share the risks when we all know we want more living donors. But full awareness is the only way.
