Hi guys, before you read my journal entries I want to make one thing clear: this is not a sad story.

My story is a happy story.

A heart transplant allowed me to live my life with freedoms I’ve never experienced before.

I am not the greatest sufferer in the world. In fact, my life is amazing.

I’m sharing my journal entries with the world because I’m hoping this will inspire people to become organ donors, and give hope to those staying in the hospital.

So enjoy your read, and keep on thriving.
