It's heart warming to read that your brother got his miracle. And ... your choice of 'Persevere' delights me. Persevering is one of the core human patterns. Without persevering, nothing someone begins is ever finished.

Yes, those “not yets” are so hard to understand, especially when you’re talking about a life. I’m very happy your baby brother finally got his perfect liver. Happy Sunday.

Coincidently and perhaps ironically my baby sister soon after needed one and did not get it in time. 🙏🏻 Today I'm focused on being grateful.
