Happy Monday! I hope you are all looking forward to a beautiful week! I just wanted to share something that happened to me today that really touched my heart.
On the Be The Match Facebook page, they posted a request for stories of donors and why they placed their name on the registry. I responded in a comment:
My Mom was diagnosed with Lymphoma and the family got tested. I wasn't a match, but I wanted to give back to another family who may be in same situation, so I joined. I'll be donating my bone marrow on March 10 for a 2 year old little girl with leukemia. I am very excited!
Today, I received an email message via FB from a woman who saw my comment and wanted to thank me for my gift. Turns out that she has a 2 year old niece who will be receiving a transplant on March 11th. GOOSEBUMPS! Obviously there is no way to find out if it is LG, but what a moment of excitement to learn that there is another life being touched by a member of the registry. It would be amazing if this was LG, but if not, I'm so excited that next week, 2 little girls will be getting a new chance at life. I just think about all the feelings and excitement I have for LG, and now they are doubled because there is an LG II who is experiencing this little earthly miracle. I hope this inspires you to live your day to the fullest! Happy happy Monday!
