Hi De.

I just read this very kind note you wrote to me.

I will promise you that I will ask my cardiologist when I see him in December.

I am not in a hurry to vacate being on earth and want to participate fully with my grandsons and only grand daughter in their lives. I can talk to them and say things to them their parents cannot. The best part is I can "spoil" them with things they need and cannot afford. Of course my daughter in Virginia and her husband are very wealthy and just bought a 5 bedroom House on the beachfront in North Carolina. She has always wanted to do that..

But I want the grandchildren and my own eldest daughter to have a good start financially and not be saddled with debt.

So, yes I will ask about it. I suspect there are many more much younger men who could use a transplant though and so I suspect priorities may come into play.

I am ready to see my Lord and God and bow before HIM and sing HIS praises throughout eternity!

He loved me and gave HIMSELF on the Cross for ME and for MY sins so that HE could offer me eternal life with HIM.

Same for you big guy.. A home n Heaven with Christ is awaiting all those who name HS name and have HIM as Lord and Savior. Allone need do is ASK HIM for forgiveness and to be their Lord and come into their hearts and life.

Your name will be written down in The BOOK of LIFE so when you die that Book will be opened and your name will be there.

You will hear "Enter thou into the Joy of Thy Lord thou good and faithful servant"

I am looking forward to seeing HIM and Hearing HIM though it will be fearful...

Re: “I have not. I would suspect that those valuable perfectly good hearts could and should be used for people with more years ahead of them if the Lord permits. As the Apostle Paul said " I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:”I've been meaning to get back to you on this, but my computer has been malfunctioning. Yes, I've been posting to others, but right about the time I saw your post, everything on it went berserk at once: the microphone, the sound, the SD Card reader, etc., and it's taken until now to get them straightened out.

What I wanted to tell you is that it's not like a Marine to quit, and that's what it sounds like you're doing. I hope you reconsider.

A transplanted heart lasts 12 years on average. If you qualified to receive one, I expect you would put it to full use. And you have as much right to 12 additional years as anybody else.

What about your wife, kids and grandkids? Don't they deserve to get you well again?

Let your doctor decide if you're eligible for a heart. If he says yes, try to get one. You owe yourself and everyone who cares about you that much. The answer might be "no," but if that's the case, at least you'll have given the good fight. That's what I expect of a warrior like you.

BTW, in 12 years, I am certain that they will have a permanent cure for bad hearts. Probably for a lot of other diseases too, but certainly the heart. When AI becomes more intelligent than humans, it will quickly solve many of humanity's intractable problems. It might cause some new ones, too - but medically, good things are on the horizon. Do what you can to stick around!
