Donation.

I've been doing a lot of thinking today.  A lot of it has been about my life and where it is.  About what keeps me going everyday, even when I feel down.  A big player in that is, my organ donor.  I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for that person making that decision to donate their organs after their spirit left this earth, and their family being supportive of their decision.  That's why I will try everyday of my life to help people know what the importance is about organ donation.

Only a small fraction of the earth's population will know what it's like to receive the blessing that I was able to have.  And so many people are waiting just to have a chance to have what I've got.  That truly saddens me.  I myself waited on the list for 3 years.  That's a long time to wait.  And there are people that wait even longer than that.  Yet if more people became organ donors there wouldn't be such a problem.

I know that thinking about giving your organs away puts a fatality to life that people don't want to think about, but honestly, you never know when your last moments here will be.  

So, now I live everyday to the fullest because I was blessed with another chance.  I myself am an organ donor, and though they pretty much wouldn't be able to use any of my organs in another person because of the damage they've sustained over the years, my organs can be used to help find cures and for science.  Thats just as awesome.
