What a horrible woman!!! I can't even begin to imagine what a cesspool her soul must be. My son found out he was a bone marrow match his senior year in college. He went through the whole thing,involving a couple weeks of shots to bump up his red blood cell count before the procedure, whilst writing his senior thesis. He had some serious headaches and felt like crap for a month. But he never once considered not doing it. He didn't think he could have lived with himself. A year later, the man who received his bone marrow wrote him a letter and said "You are my hero". You don't get many opportunities like that in life. They are God-given and if you let them pass you by, you lose a bit of yourself. I'll keep this man in my prayers....
Wow. Nicely stated. We've never met.
I am enraged by this.
Giving bone marrow was one of the best experiences of my life. I can't even imagine saying "no" to donating when you hear your name is a match. The news hits you like a thunder bolt. I mean there's really nothing like hearing that someone's life is entirely in your hands. I feel like I'm fumbling for words here, but there's no real way to describe the feeling.
She says she worried about her family? Her kids are going to find out eventually that she let their Uncle die. What about her family then? How could her children have any respect for her?
I am appalled. I haven't felt this enraged by a news story ever.
God bless your son! "You are my hero" is all that needs to be said.
