Some good news to update you on ! Just had a chat with Nadia Zaidi a film maker for a documentary that will feature my story with kidney disease and my quest to find a kidney donor. Covid has had an impact on the film having to put a pause on production but things have resumed to finish things off!... We were hoping to have an in person screening of the film but with Covid that wont be possible at this time so we are looking at a virtual screening! Social media pages are in the works to help promote the film and I ll let you know when they are ready to like and share! As you have been reading for several months I have been open about what im going through and I am hopeful this film will raise awareness of what myself and others in similar situations go through and hey maybe through the documentary I can find an amazing person to help me out :) Stay tuned......

Just had a great chat with my awesome friend Zoe Thorn talking about my post from earlier today... Id like to change that message Its time to RISE UP ! Rise up and live our lives the best we can especially now in these times. I am hopeful things will get better and we can get back to normal again soon. I missing seeing you Zoe and all out friends but its good we can connect online and soon in person :)... My dialysis is going well and I am healthy despite my kidney problems and so grateful for that ! I am feeling good that a potential donor will come forward soon and allow me the opportunity to live life to the fullest ! I may have some physical limitations but a kidney would allow me to achieve my goals...no such thing as can't....I can and I will :) My sister surprised me with the news she was going to donate a kidney to help me 20 yrs ago...maybe I am in for another surprise soon ? :) I had a great 19.5 and I want to have at LEAST 20 + more ! I got this! I am flying ! As for Covid you can GTFOH !! Rise up everyone ! you have the power I am here for you every step of the way :) Much love <3 Happy Sunday evening

Child - "How old are you, Grandpa?" Grandpa - "I'm 81, dear." Child - "So does that mean you were alive during the Coronavirus?" Grandpa - "Yes, I was." Child - "Wow. That must have been horrible, Grandpa. We were learning about that at school this week.... They told us about how all the schools had closed. And moms and dads couldn't go to work so didn't have as much money to do nice things. They said that you weren't allowed to go and visit your friends and family and couldn't go out anywhere. They told us that the shops and stores ran out of lots of things so you didn't have much bread, and flour, and toilet rolls. They said that summer holidays were cancelled. And they told us about all those thousands of people that got very sick and who died. They explained how hard all the doctors and nurses and all essential workers worked, and that lots of them died, too. That must have been so horrible, grandpa!" Grandpa - "Well, that is all correct. And I know that because I read about it when I was older. But to tell you the truth I remember it differently... I remember playing in the garden for hours with mom and dad and having picnics outside and lots of bbqs. I remember making things and fishing with my Dad and baking with my Mom. I remember making forts and learning how to do hand stands and back flips. I remember having quality time with my family. I remember Mom's favorite words becoming 'Hey, I've got an idea...' Rather than 'Maybe later or tomorrow I'm a bit busy'. I remember making our own bread and pastry. I remember having movie night three or four times a week instead of just one. It was a horrible time for lots of people you are right. But I remember it differently." Remember how our children will remember these times. Be in control of the memories they are creating right now, so that through all the awful headlines and emotional stories for so many that they will come to read in future years, they can remember the happy times.
