I have moved into a another profession and have to say no job has ever given me the sense of satisfaction that I got working for the Red Cross. Whether it was my work or giving blood just knowing you are helping someone is a powerful feeling. <br /><br />Best wishes to your family may your Mom have a complete recovery.<br /><br /><br />Monica<br />www.somewhere-between.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125002596954065738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256971376932755431.post-15558691814011120952012-03-21T12:48:57.673-04:002012-03-21T12:48:57.673-04:00Thank you for this reminder.

My mom encouraged me to start donating blood when I turned 16, and I used to go with her every couple of months to donate (as I am O-negative, the universal donor type). I continued in college and then here and there at the local Red Cross center after I graduated, but I honestly have not given blood in years. Not since before my first son was born almost four years ago. This was a good reminder that I need to get back out there and donate. Best wishes to your mom and your family.April Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362479795306777351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256971376932755431.post-60589324263541829272012-03-21T11:16:24.624-04:002012-03-21T11:16:24.624-04:00Wow, I had no idea that if you have Lupus it's...Wow, I had no idea that if you have Lupus it's so hard to get blood.
