The Gift of Life

Yesterday I donated blood for the 33rd time and put something about it on my Facebook status. A friend commented that it was blood transfusions that had saved her newborn baby's life. Although that specific baby didn't likely get blood directly from me, over the years my blood most definitely has saved the lives of children, and adults who directly impact children.

Without a doubt donating blood is another thing that I do On Purpose so I'm adding it to my blog.

The greatest gift my son has ever given me was his first blood donation on my behalf. He recruited his girlfriend as a blood donor who also gave her first donation on my behalf. I'm very proud of them both.
