It is 10 years since my transplant and I thank my son everyday for his greatest gift

I am truly grateful for the generous donation of the family.

To this day, it still raises emotions when I think and talk about what has happened.

Without my transplant I don't know where I would be today

I look forward to many years ahead enjoying life and making the most of each day.

Every time he achieves yet another goal post transplant, I am so proud

I have always believed that organ donation is all about turning something tragic into something positive.

If not for that generous decision by the family, my life would be a different story

We celebrate two birthdays a year - one for dad and one for Sidney

I will be eternally grateful to the three Americans who donated their skin.
