#62: Cry tears of joy.

Well, looks like I broke #62, and with good reason.

Bridget got a heart.

For years I had wondered how it worked. How is it possible that you start crying if you're just insanely happy? Well, I just found out. Of course, while I'm working on my list, I'm helping my family and friends with theirs. The biggest thing I've been helping them with right now is fundraising for my baby cousin, Bridget, who needed a heart transplant. And now, she has it.

It was the strangest thing... I NEVER wake up early, especially on weekends, but for some reason, this past Sunday I woke up at 8:30 and couldn't fall back to sleep.

I then overheard my mom saying they found her a heart and she was going into surgery at 12:30.

The day whizzed by, and then at 7, we got the call.

The surgery went better than anyone could ever have expected, she was waking up, her parents and two aunts got to visit her...

...and best of all? She made it.

Our little girl who has been in pain for so long now has the opportunity to grow up and lead a normal life.

While this is sad because one family has lost their child so Bridget may live, it is also an incredible relief.

I won't write much more. I just thought it was important to write.

I just started this experiment two weeks ago, and already I've made some incredible memories. I can't wait to see what the other 97 bring.

Thanks for all your support, even though "you" is no one since this blog has no readers yet since I haven't shared it!
