Birthday wishes DO come true and sometimes when you want them!!!!!  I literally hit publish on the link party post, stating how icky and sad I was feeling.  I was sad that my one wish was not being answered for my birthday.  Then my poor dad called me right at an emotional moment, and I just started to cry.... Bless him!  My phone beeped while I was talking to him but I didn't get it right away.  Then it beeped again and I had just been saying bye to my dad.  So I answered and immediately heard Heather's voice, "Where the hell have you been!  I have been trying to call you for 30 minutes!  It's Andrew!!!!"  THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE A PERFECT BONE MARROW MATCH FOR CORA IN HER BIG BROTHER!!!  So now the next step is just making sure that both kids are healthy enough for the procedure, and there is still a long road ahead, but the cure has been found!!!!  I am SO happy at this moment.  Still crying, but now they are all tears of joy.  Keep on praying, guys- I know it's working!

That is wonderful!
Clearly I am behind on reading all my blogs...but I finally got to this post and immediately started getting weepy! My bestest best friend's daughter is having her bone marrow transplant TONIGHT! Around midnight. I remember how I felt when I got the news on a match about a month ago. Such a rush of emotions!
So happy that you are there for your friend! That is such a very special seat to fill!
