you've had a birthday shout hooray...

when you receive new stem cells, it's considered your birthday since your body becomes new again. this morning, my dad is receiving his sister's stem cells and all the doctors came by to sing happy birthday. we are thankful for them, lifesaver sister vicki and all cancer research that has made this possible... and i'm thankful to be here to be a part of it.



sister vicki's special lifesaving stem cells.

    this made me cry.
    oddly, i had a dream about daddy hill last night.

    maybe it's because i just saw nina's facebook status before i went to bed.... and maybe it was the last thing that was on my mind...
