This is a picture from the blood drive.
These girls are the closest thing I have to siblings now. They are my sisters (a couple are absent).
I can't thank them enough for their love and unconditional support.
I wanted to personally thank the people who arranged the blood drive. Everyone wants to do something to help Papa Jer or lend support, but doesn't know how. You offered a vehicle for people to come out and do such a selfless act that not only my Dad, but many other patients who need blood greatly appreciate.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the blood drive to donate blood!
I am terrified of needles, therefore I have never donated. After seeing what my Dad goes through on a daily basis and watching how a bag of blood can literally save someone's life, I knew it was time. My eyes were filled with tears, body was shaking, and my hands were as clammy as a kid during the dance unit in junior high gym class. But.... I did it! And so did many other people! With my Dad in mind, you did a selfless act. Your blood may not directly benefit my Dad, but it will greatly impact someone's life who needs something as simple as blood to survive.
When my Dad is feeling better, I will get him, Kelly and myself into the incredible shirts you had made and take a picture for the blog!
Well Gerry! Sorry Janice and I didn't know about this earlier. It sure sounds like you are in good hands.
ReplyDeletePlease let Janice and I know if we can be of assistance. You can count on our prayers and best wishes for a full recovery.
Great to see the way your daughter has responded. You are certainly loved well.
Blessings upon you Gerry!

Hi Jerry:
ReplyDeleteHave been on a journey the last year, getting educated on many natural healing methods to gain more knowledge to help people ... I listened to a webinar today on The Healing Codes so digging into the material and learning the technique which I can pass along, founded by Dr Alex Loyd...thought of you right away as the miraculous things in riding disease from people's bodies is beyond miraculous. Please have one of your girls go on line and read about it, I believe it can really help in your healing!
