(The last one was the first time I'd ever donated. I did it after reading one of your blog posts on here.) I thought of your precious little girl as I signed the form... and of course, my Nathan. The blood drive will be on the 21st, his 8-month angelversary.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458793012621501481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504259906351329000.post-60796600782474767912012-02-27T01:26:47.108-05:002012-02-27T01:26:47.108-05:00I can relate so much to this.
