You are so blessed, I would love to join you in signing a donor card to give a mother, father, brother, son, daughter, grandchild ... and second chance in life. It amazing that it takes someone so close to you to understand the meaning of being a donor.
I would like to share A poem I found with all of you,
but especially the MIRACLE BOY, FRANK!
I received a gift on ’’May 20th, 2009,
It came from someone I don't know.
It came with no card, ribbon or bows
But sent to me that’’s all I know.
It didn’’t arrive in a box or sack
And is a gift one would never send back.
The gift in size is rather small
Compared to its power to conquer all.
You’’ll never hold this gift in your hand
It’’s given to people throughout the land...
This beautiful gift has set me free
What a precious gift and given to me.
This gift was given out of selfless love
And delivered to me with help from above.
These gifts are so priceless, valuable and few
When you know of this gift, you will agree too.
With this gift I can hold my head high
To dream the impossible and reach for the sky.
This gift has taught me to scream and shout
Now let me tell you what this gift is about.
This gift will not be taken in strife
The gift I speak of is that of life.
The gift of life handed me a key
It opened doors and set me free.
Organs aren’’t needed at your final destination
Leave them on Earth without hesitation.
Every human will someday be called to come home
Your organs may stay and continue to roam.
No need for organs in the heavens above
Leave them on Earth for others to live & love.
Now that all has been said and done
Please donate your organs and give life to one.
Let’’s spread the news let’’s scream and shout
Organ donation is what it’’s all about.
Most grateful, Your Wife :)

Susan you were right. I shouldn't have gotten on the blog until I had time to spare. I was going to get on to tell Frank hi, (Hi! Frank) but I have been reading and crying for the past hour. All tears of joy. I have been a donor for years, but I know for some there is anxiety to signing on. You have broken down walls by sharing your story. I thank you both for being so open. I feel blessed to live in a world when another family in time of sorrow was selfless and saved another life. Thank you for being our friends.

ReplyDeleteI have been an organ donor for years also. You give me a new perspective on why it is "The" best reason to be a donor! Keep up the good attitude Frank and everything will work out! Take care and God Bless you all!

What a beautiful poem you found (tears streaming down my face). My donor card on the back of my licence has been signed ever since I started driving. Don't wait - don't hesitate...sign it now! Look what it did for our beloved Frank! Take care, God Bless and SIGN IT!

Hi Frank & Susan, sorry I haven't been able to write to you sooner, but I have been keeping up thru Johniann. Frank, you have received an AMAZING gift. I know Johniann has told you the coincidence that happened to me over at Ford. It is a strange double edged sword. But if anything good ever comes out of something sad, THIS IS IT! I know nothing is known for 100% positive sure, we just have to wait & see. Many were the mornings that I would sit in Ford's parking lot & talk w/Johniann about you. She would try to encourage you and I would try to encourage her. Frank, our prayers were answered! I can't wait to see you and talk to you in person! Susan, when everything settles down, I am going to teach you to make the bread for the Pannini's for Frank! We are all so happy for you! Let me know if there is anything at all I can do! You are in my prayers always, Love, Annette Lanfranca
ReplyDeleteSusan your are one beautiful lady with beautiful words! Congrats to Frank and your family! Organ donors unite! Take care, Sondra Miscevich
ReplyDeleteFrank,
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to talk to you this morning on the phone. I did not expect for you to have so much energy so soon after this major surgery. You are simply amazing! You were a great inspiration to me this morning and I thank you for sharing your story, update and your outlook on life with me! We are forever connected through friendship. I cannot wait for you to return home so that we can commune again. I had lunch with Diana Schembri and Jeff Yoakum this morning and shared the good news and your blog info with them. We all love you! Lorenzo!!!
