4 years ago today we got the call we had been waiting so long for. The call to say your new liver was here. You was getting weaker and weaker has the days were going by so this call was so desperately needed. We didn’t have long to gather our stuff and say our goodbyes before the ambulance arrived to take you to London hospital. I was nervous, scared, happy, worried etc (didn’t know how to feel) but you like the man you are just took it all in your stride and kept laughing and joking with the paramedics all through the journey. You even kept making sure I was ok, telling me all will be fine and you will be back home annoying me and Jess again soon. Even through your hardest days Jim you made sure others were ok. Life kept throwing hurdles at you all through the wait but you just kept beating them all. The day was along long day and you slept a lot, but We were there through it all with you, I wasn’t letting you do this alone. You had so much thrown at you Jim everyday seems like there was something else for you to have to fight and beat but you always said to me mom I may lose the battles but I will win the war and My brave soldier that’s exactly what you did. You won the war. Jim 1 - cystic fibrosis 0 To say how proud of you I am could never be written or shown has I’m the proudest mom in the world. You are a unknown hero Jim, an inspiration to everybody. A role model we all should look up to. The strength and determination you have is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. You are and always will be my brave soldier. I love you to heaven and back and more. Xxxx
