e blood in the name of someone specific。 There was a bulletin board with photos of children who were patients at Children’s Hospital。 It was the same hospital where I had lost my daughter for cancer two years prior; so my heart went out to these children who were battling life…threatening illnesses。 One photo was of a little black girl; only 9 years old; and her beautiful face; although swollen from drugs; spoke to me。 Her name was Alexis; and she was battling cancer。 She had been fighting the disease most of her life; and I read where she had been in remission5 twice; but the cancer had returned for a third time。 I requested to donate my blood in Alexis’s name。 電子書 分享網站

I braved the needle and the procedure was relatively painless。 The blood bank wanted to give me a stuffed animal and a T…shirt; but I declined。 I wasn’t there to get anything for my effort; but was there only to give。 A month and a half later; I went back; and then a month and a half after that; I went back again。 I felt this was something I could do; and so I made a promise to myself to go as often as I could while I was in good health。
I hardly watch TV; but I do keep the TV on in the morning while I’m getting ready for work。 Although I am not in front of the TV; I am listening to it。 One morning I heard a newscaster reporting about a young girl named Alexis; and I immediately went to the TV to see if she was talking about my Alexis from the blood bank。 She was。
