Much to do before Transplant Games - A reason to move on.
Dear reader,
Much has happened since my last post. I also have much to do before my hubby and I attend and volunteer at these next National Transplant Games in Calgary in July.
But while I get ready for these next games, I struggle with emotions.
As I think of all that I would like to have done before the games, things like,
As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, we lost another family member in a collision on the 17th of May.
I must say going to this funeral, threw me a curve ball and sent me to a place that I try to avoid, a place filled with pain and sorrow.
Because of this tragedy, in my mind, I keep seeing his mom caring his ashes as she walks out of the church, I see her struggle and try to hold back her tears.
As I watched her carry his ashes I recalled seeing her while she carried him in her womb and I think of how this should never happen. I think of how a parent should never have to bury her own child and I fight back my own tears.
After I returned home, I have tried to move on but, since that time I have been doing a lot of soul searching and I have wondered at how the years have gone by. By doing this soul searching it has made it difficult for me to move on.
This funeral brings me back to the beginning, it brings me back to our own daughters’ funeral and the pain that our family has gone through. While going through this process, I have considered at how things have transpired over these past years.
As I do this I also contemplate as to what is the best way to proceed. I speculate and ask myself what can I share with you, what is it that I can say that will be of the most help, for you and for the cause?
As I look back over these past years I also think about the reason that I continue to move on despite all the obstacles that have come my way and I now share this reason with you.
The reason I do this, has to do with my faith.
Because of this I know that, I will continue to move on, despite the pain we go through and the obsticals that have to be faced. I will also continue dispite the controversy it has caused and will continue to cause.
I remind myself that, we became a donor family because of my faith, I started this work because of my faith and I will continue to do this work because of my faith. When I remind myself of this one fact, I can move on.
Take care and God bless.

As I think of all that I would like to have done before the games, things like,
- getting the web-page up and running,
- pick up completed banners from participants,
- cut and prepare more banners to bring to the games,
- make a commemorative quilt for the games etc.,
