The meaning of Christmas to me!

A 28 year old man from the eastern time zone, entered a hospital and donated his Bone Marrow. In the early morning hours of July 7th, 2004 a frail but faith filled young man (With Fanconi Anemia) 14 years old waited patiently at Fairview University Hospital in Minn, MN. At about 1:30am his father and mother stood by his bed praying! This prayer was answered and is the meaning of Christmas. God Bless the young man that gave our Son John his second birthday! Christ was born and came to give his earthly life that we may all be born again! Let's remember his birth, began the journey to the Cross!

John just after being diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia 1993



John and Mom (Ann) 1994



John just minutes before his Bone marrow transplant, I am holding the marrow!



John having his head shaved after his transplant, he wanted to lose his hair on his own terms!

Christmas means family to me.

Your wife is beautiful and so is your son!

Thanks for sharing. God is so good, all the time. A way when there seems no way, He will always provide.
