“One year ago today, my life was saved. My lungs had completely failed me and the only thing that would keep me here was a double lung transplant…Today I celebrate my 1st Lungaversary. This last year has not been easy, it’s been the hardest year of my life. But having a hard year is better than having no years. I’m alive, here on earth, with all of my family & friends. The feeling of receiving life is indescribable. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover the emotion. There are no words. To everyone who has supported me over the last year, thank you. I’ve made it here today because of you. My family & friends are like no other…my biggest support system. Along with the many doctors who were involved in saving me. My Mom who has never stopped helping me. To my donor, thank you. You are my angel, today and every day.” – Jackie
