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.
June 14, 2011, marks World Blood Donor Day. This is such a beautiful day dedicated to thanking and celebrating voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors. Millions of people owe their lives to people they will never meet – people who donate their blood freely and without any reward. The enthusiasm and energy with which this day has been celebrated in past years is remarkable, as many people have carved out time in their busy day to donate blood or plasma. It is also an opportunity to give thanks and honor the many generous people who give the precious gift of blood. Tomorrow's the day to do it folks, so let's make a difference in somebody's life and give the most beautiful gift of all: the gift of life.
