In Memory

As we come and go through the hands of the New Zealand Liver Transplant Unit, we meet others fighting their own significant battles to stay alive.  These people are inspirational, supportive, and are really the only people who truly understand the "inside" story of what it's all like - the joy, the embarrassment, the tests, the pain and the minor miracles of day-to-day recuperation.

It is therefore, emotionally draining and challenging to watch a fellow recipient struggle through this, meeting incredible challenges, and finally, after a gut-wrenching struggle, slip away from us.
