We recently shared this blog from Libby Kranz on our Gift from a Child website. Libby Kranz is one of our partners in Gift from a Child. She was kind enough to share her thoughts and and the recording of an emotional interview she granted to a local TV station about the loss of her daughter, Jennifer and the impact of tissue donation.
Excerpt from Atta Girl Jennifer
She did not lose her battle… because she is still fighting.
I often get caught up in a vicious spiral.. wondering who she would be. What she would be like now had she been able to live. It haunts me and can eat away at me.. But seeing this interview.. the impact those mischievous brown eyes and perfect little smile still has.. Maybe I have been looking at it all wrong.
Maybe I need to be looking at who she actually is today. Because she has grown. She has changed. To be a solid and reliable little girl. To be impactful and powerful.
We’ve done that Tony.
By giving her broken body to Dr. Monje… we allowed new life to be breathed into her.
And you.. anybody who has supported our family and this foundation along the way… You helped her grow into what… into WHO she is now.
