Congratulations to you and your recipient on reaching the very exciting 1-year milestone! It comes so fast, much faster than can be believed, and feels so good.
As the wife of a recipient, I can say that, for physical well-being, the 1-year mark was a much bigger deal for my husband than for myself as a donor. That's because I returned to good health so quickly and could barely even remember the pain and discomfort of surgery after 2 months or so. But my husband had a much harder road post-transplant (and pre-transplant, of course!), and we *still* don't take his current good health for granted.
That said, we both felt so great about his new kidney reaching the 1-year mark (over 2 months ago already, wow) that it was a wonderful celebration for us both. I have no clue about how the kidney I gave away is doing (it flew from CA to PA, to a stranger), but I am going with the "ignorance is bliss" philosophy and assuming all is well for my recipient.
