A Love story that has nothing to do with Real Estate

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with RE/MAX Access (Garden Ridge, San Antonio, New Braunfels) TREC# 0386905

A Love story that has nothing to do with Real Estate, but there might be a Broker involved.

"It was the best decision of his life."

Literally. No truer words had been spoken.

But, all those years ago, Fran Moran would not have know that his redheaded bride of 49 years, Lois Moran, was going to save his life until this Friday morning October 3, 2014, at 5:30 AM where Doctors will perform the surgery in San Antonio.

For this is the day that she performs one of her most selfless acts (because there have been many in her years) by giving him new life....her kidney.

Who would have ever thought that falling in love with a sweet, redheaded Irish woman that he met in Bermuda, would save his life some 50 years later? Yes, life does have many twists and turns!

I'm proud of these people because I'm a daughter (along with my sisters Kristin Moran Esparza & Sandra Moran McGann) and a life observer of their teachings. And most definitely proof of their love and devotion, to each other and their family and friends, that we as children have had a front row seat to bear witness too.

So join with my family as we pray for these 2 love birds, who never want to leave each other's side, that the surgery will heal our Dad and allow him to continue spreading God's love through his efforts in life. And for our Mom. That her recovery is quickly & with grace. Allow her body to accept this change, make her whole again and continue to allow her to bring blessings to others.

For Fran & Lois Moran, this Friday morning at 5:30 AM as they are the PERFECT MATCH!

We love you more!

 

These are my parents Lois & Fran Moran (who was a Broker for over 45 years!)

Thanks for indulging me this morning.

Sheila,

My mom donated her kidney to my father and he lived happily for many more years with his new kidney, which he named "Zola" every time he spoke about it. He was able to get off of dialysis and live normally.

May you be able to have the same results with your parents, sending prayers and positive thoughts for successful outcome.
