Medically Cleared!

I received an email today that said, "You have been cleared to donate Marrow by the NMDP Medical Services Department." Words could not do justice to the instant relief, excitement and awe that I felt only moments ago when reading this email. Tears did flow. Although I was not too worried about this, it is still wonderful to know that the journey is going to continue and that I can now officially, donate to LG.

I wish I could be there when the doctor tells her parents that a healthy (and very willing) donor has been found and that in 3 weeks and 6 days, she will receive a blood bag with healthy cells to regenerate her tiny body. I presume they will feel what I felt, but x100! Tears of joy and relief.

Thank you for your love and support through my journey. Many have reached out to say such wonderful things and I so appreciate them. But for me, this process is about humanity and gifts that we all have the capability to give. Each of you reading this have at least one person that you would lay down your life for. It would be a moment that you would not even think twice about. Well, I have, and continue to live such an abundantly blessed life. I enjoy every opportunity to live, to laugh, and to love. I choose to find the good in those that I meet, befriend and love. I want to give back whether it's to a friend or stranger. I hope you are encouraged to do the same. Life is so short. Live it up! Love a lot! Laugh 'til the end!

Now lets just hope I don't break anything skiing this weekend! :-) Update soon!
