January
On January 7, two months after her first birthday, my baby girl Ava received her marrow transplant. How can we ever thank our marrow donor for the sacrifice and gift she has given us? How do you thank someone for saving your child’s life? I have wanted to write this note for some time now, but adequate words fail me.
THANK YOU for registering with Be The Match. THANK YOU for answering “the call.” THANK YOU for being THE ONE for our sweet baby girl.
We dedicate January 7 in honor of Michelle, Ava’s marrow donor
— Janet and Ron, Ava’s parents
