Altruism- unselfish interest in the welfare of others

This is one of my favorite words to describe my sister Maeapple

I have had the experience in the last few days of sharing my story about what we are doing and realizing that there is no way I could honor her enough for the sacrifices that she has made for me and continues to make. I can only imagine what it like to be asked to give so much of ones self.  And she always answers with an of course.  There is no hesitation.  She is so willing to give herself no matter what is needed of her.  A truly selfless act of generosity. 

When she donated her bone marrow stem cells to me she had to leave her family for months and come to Seattle with me.  To be put to the needles to give up her blood.  She has never complained or asked for anything in return.  Whenever I try to thank her for her sacrifices she shrugs me off with complete modesty and humility. “it was no big deal” she says. Now I ask her to give up a part of herself that will not regenerate like blood, but she will be giving to me forever.  And she does without a second thought.  Just because I need it.  Just because she loves me.

What would I do with out my sister Mae?  I would have died with out her.  I would remain childless without her.  She is my best friend; she is my kindred spirit, my physic link, my soul sister. I have been blessed by her in my life.  She is my council, my stability, my sanctuary, my consistency.  I know she is always there for me.  And in turn I will always be there for her.

    Joy,

    I didn’t hear about your battle with cancer until well after your fight. Your story is very touching, heart wrenching, and empowering. You are such a strong woman and Mae is such an angel for being there for you (not that I would expect anything less from her; she’s so sweet).

    I wish you the best on your continuing journey. I wish I could do more for you now, but I will also be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Best wishes,
    Love,
    Dawn & Kenny
