He died.
The man I was supposed to give bone marrow to died. A man I have never met but feel so inexpicably attached to that I'm sitting here crying as I think about it. I wanted so much to help him. I wanted so much to use the lifelong gift of health I've been so blessed to have to give this person another chance at life. This was someone's father, someone's husband, someone's friend, someone's co-worker and although I never even knew him I can't help but mourn the loss of this person from our world. This person was the same as me on the inside. I may not understand the biological details of it all, but this person was so much like me that I could have saved them simply by giving them my bone marrow cells.
I wish there was more I could have done.
It's not fair.
