A powerful story from B.C.

Well, wow. Lisa from The Tyee in British Columbia, Canada, wrote to let me know about this beautifully written essay in yesterday's paper, by staff writer Linda Solomon, who considered donating a kidney for her brother. She eloquently captures the emotion that both potential donor and potential candidate go through -- the anxiety, the guilt, the fear, the pressure, the hope. For those of you who are interested in healing ceremonies, there's a bit about that as well. But you don't need to be invested in organ donation to find it simply a touching and powerful read. Highly recommend you check it out.
