Our Dad's Heart Transplant Anniversary

Today is our dad's 4th heart transplant anniversary!! It's been 4 years since our dad received the gift of life! Our dad is known to many as the Tin Man, who needed a heart and who got one!

Thank you so very much, Boston girl, for saving our dad's life! We can't ever thank you enough! If it wasn't for the generosity of you and your kind family, we wouldn't have our dad with us today! We wish we knew who you were so that we could give you lots of licks and hugs! Maybe one day we will!

Happy Transplant birthday, Dad! Do we need to celebrate at Wentworths again with another coffee oreo blizzard?!


Love ya lots and lots,

Maggie and Mitch
