Of Kidney Transplants and In Search of Kidney Donors

Just got a message from my brother: "Unfortunately, it has been stated by law that no one will be allowed to donate their kidney. Kidney transplant should be within the family members only. Let's just pray na makakuha pa tayo ng ibang alternative para kay Mommy."

Is this true? Who among you guys here knows someone or something about Kidney transplants / kidney donors, or knows someone who had gone through the same thing my Mom is encountering right now? We badly need your help in letting us decide on what to do... =(

For you, Mommy

I know you'll never get to read this, but at least I can let the whole world know what's in my heart.

Mommy, I know you've been through a lot of thinking and depression lately. Getting a news like that from your doctor, is not that easy. I just want you to realize, that no matter what happens, we - your children, will never get tired of finding out the right thing to do and the right option to choose in order to save you from this misery. We won't give up on searching for the right doctor and for your proper medication. You may not see it in all of us, that we're really concerned about you, but I'm wishing for you to hold on and just think that this is just another of those large cross, God had set forth for us to carry.

I longed for this moment, that I can get the chance to write what's been in my head and in my heart from those years that I never get to be with you. I never had a chance to laugh with you as a child would do, when she sees her crush in school or on TV. You were not there when I'm starting puberty and wished to have someone explain to me why I was bleeding (first time that I had my period), before the nuns did in school. You didn't see me cry during the times that I had my first heartbreak. You didn't see me stumble and crave for a Mother's love.

But despite all these, your absence taught me to stand on my own and grow up as a lady of substance. You taught me that distance can never be the reason for a dying love. You taught me that there will be people who will come into my life and may fill what you missed, but there will be nothing more important than a Mother's true love to her child.

Now that it's our time to give you back what you deserve, may you continue to be strong and have more faith to the Lord, that we can get through this. We're all here for you. In behalf of my brothers and sisters, I pray for your strong will and patience, that in God's time, we'll be able to figure out the right thing to do.

Happy, happy Mother's Day Mommy. We love you!
