Going to meet the donor

Ever since (since October 2011) Jason received the bone marrow from someone who we’ve never met, it has been our wish to meet him someday.  Several months have past since our first contact with Jeffrey – the donor, and he regularly checks in with Jason to see how his treatments are going and his well being.  Could anyone be kinder and sweeter than Jeffrey?!  A part of a conversation has been how and when we are going to meet; he is in Minnesota, we are in Washington.

Jeffrey works for the organization, Be The Match, national marrow donor program.  The whole company is excited for Jason’s well recovery and Jeffrey.  The company found out that we are trying to figure out how and when we are going to meet, and they generously offered us the whole enchilada!!!  The meeting will take place in Minnesota in August and the whole family can meet Jeffery who gave us a chance to keep moving forward in our life and the company which made it possible to match Jeffrey and Jason – one in a million match. 

This will be exciting and amazing experiences for Jason and me, and especially for the boys.  Ty saw and felt the marrow (of course it was in a bag) on the night of October 7, 2011, and knows how significant it is for Daddy’s recovery because of those bags of marrow.  Tommy is excited because he can go on an airplane, stay at a hotel, and there is a big Lego store in Minnesota - Oh, Tommy knows Daddy is getting better, too J

Thanks Jeffrey and Be The Match.

Love,
