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!
