Default Family photo shoot for Donate Life.. photos inc

I wanted to share with you all some photos we took today at the photoshoot for Donate Life. The photographer was super sweet and she said she'd be sending me original's asap. I thought that was very generous and didn't think I'd get them but it's good to know that I will have them, they came out Awesome.

The one's here I took w/my camera and the photog snapped some with my camera also. After this was done I had a one on one on camera interview that I thought was going to be one question to answer and it turned out it to be something different but it felt good telling my story and sharing Charlie with whoever will see the video. I'll also get a copy of that by the end of the week. I will admit it' may not be pretty lot's of tears and I think at one point I had snot coming out of my nose, LOL

Our quote at the bottom of the photo will be..... ok question that was asked first, What does organ donation mean to us as an individual or family? It means another family will not be in limbo, the not knowing if their family member has to die today. Charlie has given them a new happiness, a new life so they will not have to suffer or grieve the loss of that beloved person as we do now.

Gorgeous photos, Mary! I'm so proud of you for being such an advocate for donating. What a hard decision to have to make, and I know that there will be people who live because you've told your story and helped another person to make that hard decision.
