Kandace was several years younger than I, but I can remember a few memorable hospital trips from Children's where she and I managed to talk ourselves out of trouble. After I moved to UAB in the first transition, our hospital visits never seemed to coincide and we lost touch.

I remember being thrilled the moment that I heard Kandace and Rocky G. were listed for transplant on the same day. But I will never forget the moment when we found out that they would be transplanted on the same day, as well.

Breathe easy, Kandace. It's been a long and winding road.
