Memorial Day

Memorial Day! When times were still somewhat normal. Maybe 3 months after Gina donated the kidney to her son Chris. This is back in 2000 when Chris got married. Kidney lasted a year then failed so back on dialysis he went. Chris passed away last year after 18 years of dialysis, his heart gave out. But looking back, this was a good time. Gina planned on the operation so I had her training on the bike for a better recovery. We did a 100 mile ride on the tandem just 2 weeks before the operation so she was ready! How things change! :-/ Of course with her second son on dialysis and having had a major stroke and heart attack, things haven't gotten any easier over the last few years. This was a happy time to remember.
