As Today Fades
Dear Ben,
As today fades this may just be an ordinary day for most but for us it’s been twelve months since the Angel in Heaven gave you your second chance and ours. We are sure that you wake everyday and thank silently the Angel and the family for their wonderful gift, we also thank them silently.
What a time it has been for you over the last year, no not really just the last year but for the entire time that you were not well before the transplant. During this time, Jay and I have never heard you complain about anything (but I’m sure that someone has! ha ha), you have been dealt some pretty tuff ups and downs along the way but you have always taken on board any obstacles in a positive and admiring manor.
After visiting you in the hospital immediately after the transplant it wasn’t until then that did we realise what you had endured. Your strength during this time was amazing, your courage and determination unbelievable, your will to survive was truly inspirational.
We are sure that without the support of your loving wife (Mum) things would have been a lot harder. We would like to thank her for being the most caring, loving, unselfish person that we know. We thank her for being there for us in the hard times, we thank her for loving you the way she does.
We are sure that you have set some of your own milestones, not that each day isn’t a bonus, but we want you to share some of ours with us.
- 2007 secret Santa, and maybe we might have to up the anti on the limit?
- Our marriage next year in LasVegas (your shout for a drink at the Caesar’s Palace)
- Both of us losing 20kg
- Tylah completing high school
- Tylah obtaining her drivers license, (she’s keen for a spin in the Porsche)
- Jay turning 4 (p.s Kym turning 50)
- And anything else that might happen along the way! (no more grandkids from this union that’s for sure!!)
Jay , Kym and Tylah
