I just got my blood donor card in the mail.
Forgot all about that.
hope it helped someone somewhere.
It is kind of coincidental that today I was thinking about my brother Richard, like I do, every single day, but today I was thinking about something he had done in his death.
He was a donor.
I know that they took some of his skin for grafts, and I think some organ or another, but they also took his eyes.
I was not even aware there was such a thing as eye transplant.
Of course upon hearing that I found it so odd that we have the technological know-how to tranplant eyes, and make them work, but not enough technoligy to save his life....
Anyway....i was fascinated through the day today, and not for the first time, that right now, there is likely someone out there with his eyes.
Seeing the world for the first time again, through Richard's lion-hearted eyes.
He lives on in so many ways, and outside of his music, this is my favorite thought.
Someone somewhere is loving someone through his eyes.
I checked my liscense to make sure I was a donor, and I am.
Are you?
