On this day 2 years ago we had high hopes that his upcoming Bone Marrow Transplant would be a cure for his genetic disease, Thalassemia Major. We had no idea that it was the last Birthday we would celebrate with him. That idea was unthinkable. The unthinkable occured 4 months later, during his BMT, with 2 freak brain bleeds.
We surrounded him and said our good-byes as he slipped away from this life. We hope for the day we are reunited with him in the life to come, Heaven is sweeter...Sanjay, we love you so very much, and we miss you every day. Your life was precious to us.
For some reason this post showed up in my google reader...you are in my thoughts and prayers...

ReplyDeleteWow, Karla, I am so glad I read this! You all have been through so much and I am so sorry you went through this. Prayers for you, it is obvious you have great faith, thank you for sharing Sanjay with us
ReplyDeleteMary, Thank you so much for stopping by! I have been following your ( Dominic's) story and have been praying for you and him throughout. I am so inspired by your family's love and faith in action! I know, as a mother, the heart-wrenching pain of watching your child suffer, and be unable to do anything about it. All you can do is unite your pain to the Bless Virgin Mary's at the foot of the cross.
