My final #OrganDonationWeek post. Making sure your decision, to donate or not, is known is one of the important things you can do. You won't need your organs after you die, but someone else could live a better life because of your decision. Please think seriously about donating.

It's been a while since I last submitted a track for consideration on this platform. I feel that restarting as if nothing has happened is wrong.
So, why the gap? As I have mentioned before, my wife is in hospital, having had a stroke. I visit her every day.
