We know Min and Steve have been going through a lot
CaringBridge. Free Websites That Support And Connect Loved Ones During Critical Illness. for awhile now, and we have a challenge for everyone here at HM to show our support for Steve.
Since blood is often in such short supply and is so often needed on the spur of the moment, our nation's blood banks run low most of the time. One way to show support for a sick loved one is to donate blood as often as possible in his or her name, since even if that person doesn't need the blood himself, another person can receive the gift of life in his name. In keeping with this tradition we can give the gift of life as often as every 56 days, and we ask that anyone who does attempt to donate (whether you are able or not) post in this thread to show support for Steve and Min. With every pint donated up to 3 people can be helped, not to mention you can spread the word to your friends and family that it is urgently need all over the world.
Please add your name to this sticky every time you try to donate or successfully donate blood, and we will keep this thread here!!! Let's make this a long thread with lots of support, and know that every time you donate you can save the life of a mother or her baby, someone's mother or child or friend or spouse. If you get your friends or spouse to give or convince your company to sponsor a drive add your name as well. Please join us in giving blood in Steve's name and add your name to our list!

As the saying goes, when a door slams shut in one place a window opens somewhere else. After staring at the door for many years, it finally occured to me to go look for the open window. I discovered I like sunlight and warmth much more than peeling old doors anyway, so I climbed out the window and reveled in my discovery. I will never sit behind a closed door again, no matter how comfortable my chair becomes. Me
Mel, I'm glad you found your own open window and stepped through it.
