I've recommended your column specifically because of this series on being a stem cell donor. There are a lot of folks trying to explain the technical side of things to lay audiences. As a bio-scientist myself, I think the non-technical, experiential side of dealing with extreme disease is at least as important.
I recorded the audio as an afterthought, in one take, and just to try out the feature. Then today while reading your "School Days" post I understood the importance of adding that audio. I would rather read a post than listen to a podcast, but now I'm considering my audience more. Thanks for inspiring what I hope will be more audio versions of my posts!
Such a brilliant story - thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely wonderful to read about this extraordinary journey for you and your brother. ALL the very best to you both.
Thanks for reading Michelle. Today he is sending me jokes via text message. He is breathing, and I had a good phone conversation with him last night. And I am thankful!

Hey, thanks Charles!
This (both part 1 and part 2) is a beautifully written and inspiring story. I especially enjoyed listening to this post in your own voice.

This is just fantastic and so moving.
It all still seems surreal!
Thank you for sharing.
It makes it easier to know how to pray for you and Van through this process. ❤️
Thank you, old friend. You know just how to support in the best way!❤️
May your cells meet his immune system, and become the friends that you have over the years. Holly, this was a beautifully written piece!
Thank you, Mary. May it be so!
