Good evening dear family, friends, Facebookers and followers of His Middle Name. I'm loving this summer so far! It was a perfect sunny day with a beautiful breeze, and I ran around the city in my sundress and couldn't get enough! I guess I am just having one of those moments where I feel so blessed to have another day, and there are endless people to thank for that. One of the many people I would love to thank, and will never get the chance to, is the individual who donated the blood that saved my life when I had Sutton via emergency c-section. My husband Brad is also a hero in my eyes, as he donated blood each and every time Sutton needed a blood transfusion. For him, it wasn't even a second thought. I remember the day after I had Sutton waking up to Brad saying he was leaving to go to the Red Cross to donate for our son, while I had an I.V. in my arm receiving life saving blood. It was, and still is, so amazing to me that others are able to do this for perfect strangers. I never realized what a special gift it was - the gift of life. The gift of blood.
