The Honor Was Mine...

S2, unbeknownst to me, signed up to be a bone marrow donor while he was still off at school. He was contacted as a potential match earlier this summer, did the additional testing and passed that part of the evaluation, too. He was on call for the donation at any time. A few weeks later, he got an email saying that the doctors had decided not to proceed with the procedure. No specifics, but it was pretty easy to read between the lines. S2 mourned like it was a family member. Whatever else he accomplishes in life, he is an upstander. I am beyond proud.
