Tomorrow is Zack's 6th birthday!
He was born on October 12, 1983 but reborn on March 1, 2003................that is when he had his heart transplant. That kid will do anything to celebrate 2 birthdays a year!
We have had a variety of celebrations in the past few years. The first one was a catered Bar-B-Que at our house and we invited all of the family, neighbors, co-workers and friends who helped out, prayed, hospital-sat, etc. Then when he got married, they moved it to their house. This year, I am making his favorite meal.............meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese with a chocolate caramel cake for dessert. I have a yummy new herb meatloaf recipe, but Zack insists on the regular ole plain, oatmeal in tomato soup, onion and green pepper with ketchup on top recipe. I guess I'll oblige him since it's his birthday!
We are so thankful for his heart donor and remember that his/her family are also mourning their loss. Please keep the donor in your thoughts and prayers. Without their generous gift, we would not be celebrating. And if you aren't an organ donor, please reconsider................Don't take your organs to heaven,; heaven knows we need them here!
