Something positive happened today, in the midst of my sadness and confusion. I received a letter from the Trillium Gift of Life Network and not only did they take bone, for future transplantation, from Kevin, but told me that they can use his eyes as well. Kevin was a very visual person. He loved reading and watching TV, especially nature programmes and travelogues, and going for drives to see what the seasons were doing to his environment. I think that he would be very pleased to know that someone may see their world around them, using his eyes, or that someone may recover functionality with his bones. What greater gift could come of his life ending too soon! I hope that all you folk out there will take a minute to indicate to your families and friends, that if the worst should happen and you should die, that you want to help someone else out. I knew that Kevin and his family would approve, so was able to make the decision at such an awful time, without any thought. It's been a little ray of light, in my present rather dark world.

Anne - What a wonderful gift Kevin (and you) have given. The gift of sight is so precious. I cannot imagine not being able to see all the beautiful things in this world.
