My baby brother was near death.
Paul was a healthy man just a year before developing an autoimmune condition that suddenly and without warning started destroying his liver.
He was immediately placed on the transplant list and moved near the top shortly after.
Then the call came, and a liver was available. Bad news came soon after that the donor's liver wasn't viable.
Another near miss with another non-viable liver and then nothing.
Months of nothing.
Then on this day three years ago, my late father's birthday, another call came, and this one was THE one. A liver had become available, and my brother was on his way to the hospital.
The doctors have told Paul this was a perfect liver for him, right down to the size of the connecting points.
He has returned to health, and I have my baby brother again.
He was so far along that doctors were ready to take almost any liver that was even a partial match.
And then the perfect one came.
If you are waiting for something perfect to come along, hang on. There will be near misses and things that seem 'perfect' that don't work out.
Your miracle may be just around the corner.
Hang on.
The power of believing is immense, the knowing that something good will happen!
Love, peace and light to you and your brother, and may miracles follow you always!
Thanks for sharing this story David. Glad things worked out favorably. A solid reminder to keep the faith. And for the Ted Lasso fans out there, BELIEVE.
