You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

My New Year's Wish for You!

May you never stop dreaming that impossible dream. As difficult as times may get, hold on to the promises God has made to you and do not falter in your faith. Do not be afraid to ask for a miracle; if you believe it can happen it will. Never lose your faith and trust in others. Let people love and care for you and in return do the same.

Two years ago I began the quest for an impossible dream. The road that I travelled was rocky and full of potholes that tried to consume me, and yet I walked on. Yes I faltered, yes I doubted, and yes, at times I wanted to give up. But a wonderful group of people came along to help me, giving me nourishment, encouragement, and love (YOU). They continually reminded me of how much I am loved by God and others and that gave me the strength to carry on.

On December 10, 2008, when I didn't think my body could take any more suffering, my impossible dream came true and a miracle was given to me by a stranger and her family. Through their love and generosity, I was given the gift of new life.


"See! The winter is past; the rains are over... flowers appear on the earth;

the season of singing has come!" Song of Songs 2: 11,12


Keep looking up, that is where the miracles come from; don't be afraid to dream; and follow your heart over that rainbow. Dreams really do come true!


Happy New Year! Love, Nancy
