I have never known the hero who gave my father 16 more years of life with the gift of a heart transplant, but I will never forget what they gave to my father and my family. Years to watch my children grow and make memories, to see me graduate from nursing school, and to continue to drive fast cars down the race track. He lived every one of those last years to the fullest and I will be forever grateful to him for that. He will always be my HERO just as my father was!!
