away this past thursday.
My beautiful, compassionate and loving husband passed away from liver failure on Thursday Nov. 3rd. He was listed on a liver/kidney transplant list. We made it all the way to #2 in our region until he was stricken with a fungal infection in his brain. He passed away peacefully as I held his hand with hospice in our home.
My husband was a kind man. He was an inspector and drove all around Austin when he was working. He would go to the store once a week and buy bread, cheese and cold cuts along with juice and water and cookies. He would spend hours on a sunday night making kits that he handed out to homeless people while out and about in our city. He would also buy a huge bag of dog food and treats and hand out to the homeless that had dogs. He was a lover of animals and nature. He was also a lover of our older population and would always check in with as he inspected different properties. He loved me, our dogs and his family.
There are so many other things I can say about a wonderful man he was but it would fill this page!
In his memory, please make sure you are an organ donor. If we had enough of them he would have been transplanted when he truly got sick! we wouldn't have had to wait so long. The last year and a half have been horrific and hard on his body and our lives.
Save lives... become an organ donor now. Do not wait.

He was not able to vote but he wanted too. He was a Hillary fan.

Ms. Toad
(34,126 posts)When my daughter was diagnosed with a chronic progressive liver disease, I responded the same way when people asked if there was anything they could do: Make sure you are an organ donor AND talk to your family members so they know your wishes.
Fortunately, my daughter seems to be on the slow track - progression is steady but minor so far. With luck either there will be many more donors when her day comes - or they will have perfected the artificial liver that will eliminate many of the rejection complications transplant recipients face now. I am sorry the progress was not fast enough for your husband.

48 years ago I was living on the street and a man gave me a bag of oranges. Out of all the things that anyone ever gave me, that was the thing that saved me from dispair. I don't think I ever knew his name and he'll never know how it literally saved me. Your husband reminds me of that man.

(27,821 posts)I understand your sense of loss.
Sadly, my husband's body was too riddled with cancer for his organs to be of any use - but we (it was a joint decision before he died) donated tissue and body parts to be used for research into the type of cancer that ended his life.
I join you in asking everyone to sign up NOW to donate to organ transplant programs, as well as programs that can utilize body parts that might lead to a better understanding how all diseases can be avoided, dealt with, and ultimately cured.
My heart goes out to you and your family. Your plea for signing up as an organ donor is a beautiful tribute to his memory.

How fortunate to have loved him. How sad that it had to end so soon. I am an organ donor, but no one really wants my organs since I myself have kidney failure. But viable organs are in impossibly short supply.

(24 posts)I have had a loved one pass while waiting for an organ and that is why I am an organ donor because we can all help others by making the decision to donate organs. It is sad that it took so long to get so close only to lose the fight. Your husband sounds like a wonderful person with great compassion for others. Soon, scientists will be able to grow replacement organs in a lab and while it doesn't help your husband it will help shorten the list for those needing a transplant. I wish the best for you as you grieve the loss of your husband. I know that Hillary will win and you can share that gift with the memory of your love.

(1,924 posts)I'm already listed as an organ donor on my driver's license, and have made sure that my family is aware of my wishes to donate anything deemed usable upon my death. Any organs, any tissues, anything possibly useful to someone else. In your husband's memory (and my late brother-in-law's), I'm going to resume urging others who haven't registered as donors to do so. I've gotten away from doing that for some time, and your beautiful tribute to your husband is a powerful reminder of the constant need for donation.
It is so like you to use your loss to try to help others. I wish I could just reach through the computer screen and hug you.
It's no wonder your husband fell in love with you -- you're as beautiful, compassionate, loving and kind as he was.

When my brother died of colon cancer I had a battle with his children to donate his organs, he never put it in writing, so it was up to the. They finally agreed and I think my brother would smile and thank his little sister (I'm 71 years old) for doing this. I hope, more than anything, for you to be able to find peace in the next hours, days, weeks, months, years. Thank you for sharing during this time of your tremendous grief.
