Tears

I just watched the end of a show called Extreme Home Makeovers and started crying. This family was given an entirely new home. no that si not what brought on the tears, it was why they got it. The female head of the house had donated her bone marrow 3 years ago to someone that she did not know. The child is alive today and a  beautiful 3 year oldgirl. The mother of the little girl that recieved the bone marrow had nominated her to get this house. It was so touching to see these people meet for the first time. A life was saved thanks to thsi generous woman. Who knows where this little girl could end up now.

    I have been registered to be a bone marrow donor for the past sixteen years. They send you a quarterly update.  The magazine will bring you to tears every time.  To get registered is just a simple blood test.

    Thank you so much for putting the donar site in there.  My boyfriend almost needed a bone marrow transplant as they told him he had terminal cancer, and a transplant would buy him time, but somehow he recovered completely without the transplant! -Krissy
