If your family members aren't far away or asleep, go and give one of them a hug right now. Go ahead, I'll wait.
One of my co-workers, a healthy young man who can't be more than 30, almost died this weekend when his spleen ruptured because of a bout of mono. His heart and breathing stopped, he was med-flighted, they cracked his chest from top to bottom, and he's received 20 units of blood so far. Ironically, I gave blood on Friday, so he actually might have gotten my blood to save his life.
He's stable now and even though I'm not religious, I'm praying for him.
Go hug your family. And donate blood.
