I don't consider any one of these things achievements. But they are 2 of the things I'm most thankful for.
First, was when I was 12 years old. My little brother age 9 at the time got Aplastic Anemia. This was in the 80's. He was pretty far gone and was given a little less than 5% chance of survival with a bone marrow transplant. Despite the both of us having different blood types, my bone marrow was a match. They nuked his ass with radiation and chemotherapy. Then they drilled 3 holes into my pelvis bone on both sides and sucked out the marrow. The marrow kicked in faster than they had ever seen in that time period. Afterwards; they said with the amount radiation and chemicals they put him through, that he could end up with other cancers later and would never be able to have children. Almost 40 years later now, he has never had any type of major ailment and he has 2 daughters. He also has my blood type now.
2nd would be the birth of my son 25 years ago. He has become kind of distant recently, but hey, he's got to become his own man.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
