As I prayed on Sunday night, I thanked God for an incredible month. The unbelievable blessing that Ry received is something I can not put into words yet. I hope over time I will find the words, the right words. But as I thought all day about the progression of the past month and the joy and most importantly the hope that Gilly and I now feel, all I could think about was the donor family. For every moment that I am thankful for, they are angry. For every smile I've had, they have cried. For every thought of how our future now looks, they wonder the same. There were two times when Gilly and I had nearly lost Rylynn. We often talked about how we would go on. It seemed impossible and unbearable. I wonder how the donor family is feeling now. I pray that time has eased their pain. I pray that they find some comfort and peace in their decision to donate life.
Tonight please pray for them. May God bless them.

You are amazing, God is forever present in your journey!!! You lift me up!! Praise God and thanks for the update.
This angel heart would have only gone to someone who truly appreciated the sacrifice that came with it.
May God choose to bless them all the days of their lives for their unwavering generosity in light of such a tragedy as losing a child. I pray that someday they might be able to meet Rylynn or at least be able to see how their gift in their time of sorrow has provided hope for another of God's children.
Amen!
I have to say from personal experience that meeting the man that received my son's heart was an answered prayer that I will cherish forever. I even got to listen to it beating! You never get over the pain, but God helps you to learn to live with it. But believe me the parents of the little angel girl were unselfish people to donate the heart! She lives on through Rylynn. God can turn a bad situation into a true blessing. I pray for Rylynn and you guys and the donor's parents.

My prayers are with you all.
Although a different situation, my friend donated her husbands organs and she and her family found great comfort each time they learned about another family whose life they had helped change for the better. May God continue to bless your family and the donor family.
Your heart glows through your writing Andrea. I am blessed to call you a friend. Love you! Praying for you and the special family. Tara
Throughout your journey, Andrea, I have often wondered how on EARTH I would deal play the incredibly tough hand y'all have been dealt, and I can't even imagine it. Your grace and strength rings sweetly through every single post you write, and I know that when the day comes for you, Gilly, and Ry to meet your miracle family, they will be just as in awe of your faith as we all are.
Love and Hugs to all of you...
Judith Ann, Kelly, and Hudson
