5th Birthday Bash


What do you say to a bone marrow donor?  Words cannot adequately express gratitude in this case.  Nicole once assured me that she knows what her gift of life means to us, without our having to express it. 

Our family and friends had an opportunity to meet Nicole and her family at a swim party hosted by my sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Mark, to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Jeff’s bone marrow transplant.  Each of our guests wanted to meet the celebrity of the day, Nicole, and to say “Thank you!”  She was gracious enough to hear this again and again and again.   

Here are a few pictures from the birthday bash.  Jeff and I were honored that old friends and new friends, customers, his family and mine, all came to celebrate with us. Doesn’t Jeff’s smile say it all?
