Jackie's Progress

[Guest guest]

Jackie, Beth is right on point. You are always so thoughtful when we have

something going awry. We have no idea of what you went through, just a general

idea, but we know it was something really significant, taking precedence over

everything else on your plate, yet you are cognizant of everything else going

on. This speaks highly of your character and we can all appreciate how much you

do care. How precious is our life and the time

we are given gives us some inclination of how we should live our lives, so you

are highly atuned to not only your own issues but ours, as well. I have known

you for some time and my opinion has never wavered about what type of person you

are, so it is no wonder that you have gathered so much support in your own midst

to help you through the worst of times. In appreciation of what we have been

given, it is also the best of times.

I know there are people out in the world who have no idea of what a BMT is, and

it is not some procedure that you receive and then get on with your life, it is

ongoing. Thanks for sharing that part of your life with us, too.

I just heard from my friend, Sprague who is the second recipient of

chord blood that he received 13 years ago, and still going strong. He is paying

back by being involved in the Chord Blood Crusade and goes wherever he is

needed. I know you will find your own way to " pay back " or as they say now say

" paying it forward " . Your dream is to be a teacher and I hope you hold on to

that dream, because I think you would be

an excellent teacher. YOu can add that to your list of achievements and I think

you are especially proud of the one that says " grannie " . Best of luck and

everything that goes with it.
