Mother
My mom is an amazing person for many reasons but most recently she decided to donate one of her kidneys to her older brother Jimmy. For almost one year my uncle has been on dialysis and his health was really starting to decline. My mom offered that she wanted to donate one of her kidneys and about 10 months later she did. For her the recovery was fine, she always has had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia but after the first couple of days she was starting to feel better. I was able to go home for a week and be there with my mom while she was in the hospital. I am so grateful that I was able to be there, she is so special to me. Now, we just need to make sure that she takes it easy for the next few weeks and doesn't do more than she really should. As for my uncle he is doing better than ever and life is great.

Cute sisters and family...it's fun to see pics of them.
Glad to see your mom is doing well. What a neat selfless thing to do for a loved one! I love the picture of you and your sisters!
