Of course

it is strange for me to hear other women say “i don’t think my sister would do that for me” referring to the transplant.  I always knew my sisters were extraordinary because of the women that they are.  i guess i never really looked at our relationship as being something out of the ordinary as well.  i just assumed that that is how sisters are.  you love each other as little children, you fight as teenagers, and then as you grow up and start to figure out who you are you realize that there are these amazing people that have been there in your life all along the way. no matter what your journey has looked like.  my sisters have been there for me.  whenever i needed something, a place to come home to, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to vent to.  when it was time to test for my bone marrow match i knew that each one of them would gladly do it.  when we found out that the cancer treatment would shut down my ovaries i knew that each one of them would gladly give me eggs so i could have children.  when we found Dr Silber i knew i could have asked either of them for an ovary and they both would have said yes.  Just in the same way that if they ever needed something from me i wouldn’t hesitate to give it to them.  I don’t even need to know what it is, what its for, i just would because they are my sisters, they are my friends. I wish every woman in the world could know the strength found in the love between sisters.
