Met my Donor

Hello Rarity,
We had a fun week. My brother put on weight. Two years ago he was really fit, he said it was for the stem cells that he kept himself fit. Now he's enjoying life more with a few beers in the evening.

Talked about when he was in the hospital, the nurses asked him if he wanted bread or rice. He just said yes to everything they asked, because he didn't know one word of Japanese. So for 3 days they gave him bread for morning, lunch and dinner .
There was an interpretor but only for official work, like agreement to donate. I couldn't be at the meeting, his donation would have to be of his own free will, no sibling pressure.

We have the same blood type O+ very convenient.

I hope your husband and you can meet your donor. It's something beautiful there hard to describe.

Meri
