Great story. Thanks for posting.

Good for him. He’s making the most of each and everyday.
Every so often, I remind myself of how very lucky I am and have been throughout my life. My challenges pale in comparison to what this man has faced since his teens.
My childhood Pastor always told us to live every day as though it were your last day. I’m just beginning to understand what that means.

My brother’s longtime girlfriend is about to donate a kidney to her sister.

I have a good buddy who just started dialysis this week. It's hit him pretty hard initially.

It is a very sobering reminder we are indeed mortal.

Finishing in 5 hours 15 minutes is a heck of a time all things considered.
I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 6 minutes with 4 months of training.

My first wife spent the last five years of her life on dialysis. Yes, it put somewhat of a crimp in our activities. But she carried on like a trooper, doing what she could. It was a fine example to me. I hope our kids appreciate her fortitude.

Ten years after her death I married a widow. Should either of us become an invalid, I hope we would show the same strength as my first wife did. She left me with a good example.
