GentryDixon is my beloved twin. Why I missed her post on Thanksgiving is beyond me. She said she mentioned it. I believe her...because of my advanced age (67 now), most things I'm told either go right over my head, or are lost in some memory bank that has long since given up on me. I am so thankful for my womb mate and love her dearly. We are a close family of sisters (minus one now 😔...) who love and support each other every day. We were very lucky to be raised by Ralph and Winnie and miss them dearly, though we're lucky to have had them all of those years (they were married almost 67 years when dad passed, mom to follow not long after).

Being an organ donor and having my twin receive one illustrates the importance of organ donorship. We certainly know this first hand.
