Something I was reminded of in a BIG way while I was in Jackson was the power of friendship. It can and does last the test of time. Your true friends know and love you for who you are. No matter how much time goes by, or how we change, they still SEE us.
These are two of my best high school friends, Jenny and Amy. We were a part of a group of 5 girls who hung out and did everything together. We all shared values, went to the same church, and loved each other dearly. We also all went separate ways for college, distances from each other.
Every break we would get together and continue our awesome friendship. And through the years, that friendship hasn't changed. When we're together I feel like we are in high school again, no time has even passed. To me, that is a sign of a really good friendship!
We had the opportunity to reconnect in Jackson and it was truly a homecoming for me.
Here we are, 17 years later, yet feeling like we saw each other yesterday.
And look at our beautiful children, the next generation of friendships to come.
Debbie and Amy, you were greatly missed, but not forgotten. We love you both!
A UPMC Super Hero!!!
This is Paul, my pre-transplant coordinator. I don't know if you can tell, but he is the sweetest, most compassionate man! He was SO good to me during all those months of waiting.
He truly is a SUPER HERO. Fighting every day to save lives and doing an EXCELLENT job at it. Thank you to all the Paul's out there who are giving those of us with terminal conditions HOPE for a future!
My love and friendship to you all! Nancy
