No you haven't upset me in the least and your comments were lovely.<BR/>I also lost an extremely close friend to kidney failure nearly 15 months ago so have seen it from both sides.

One reason I find it hard to comment is because your situation is very close to home for me. I am 57, and a dear friend of mine of the same age, died last month. She had a kidney transplant 16 years ago, and was one of the longest surviving transplant patients on record in her hospital. Like you, she had bad days and good days, but always put on a happy face and tried to lead a 'normal' life like her friends and family. I admired her so much, and I admire you equally as much. Your stitching projects are sensational; you will be leaving a wonderful heritage behind, whenever you leave this life, be it 5 years or 50. I hope I don't upset you by my comments; that is the last thing I would do intentionally. If you are interested in reading about my friend, my tribute to her is on my blog Patra's Other Place.<BR/>Hugs and best wishes for 2006 :-)Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com
