Jasmine is 11 years old and is coming up for her 10 year transplant anniversary in February 2009 - coinciding with Organ Donor Awareness week. Ten years! It just seems to fly by. And even now I can confidently say that I think the last 10 years of her life and health and happiness still feel shorter than the 15 months that Jasmine spent on the transplant waiting list! They say it is the not knowing that makes it feel so long. Not knowing if she will make it. Not knowing how long she will be able to fight. Not knowing if there will be a donor in time to save her life. So many questions. So few answers. And that time just drags I can tell you!
