Peoples reactions upon discovering that I am donating a kidney to my brother, don't really differ all that much. The majority of people, think it's a wonderful thing to do for a person. There are some that feel my attitude towards what I am doing is a little too blasé, and to some extent I would agree.
Truth be told, I don't think I could go through with it if it wasn't for the love and unwavering support of my family and friends. They keep me grounded and give me the strength to face my fears.
Having a good support system is really important. Having people that will be there for you, not just during the all the tests, or visiting you in the hospital, or even during your recovery, but people that are there for EVERYTHING! The times when you are unsure of your decision, when your scared or just to talk about how you feel about what you are doing.
With these types of people in my life I feel I can be somewhat blasé, because I know that no matter what, these people have my back, they always have had and they always will do. No matter how strong a person you think you are, there are times when you need support, when you need people. So, don't ever be too proud or afraid to ask. We all need someone, sometimes.
So, I want to thank everyone that has been and is there for me throughout this and beyond and to all those people that have been reading this blog.
