My seven pounds of giving to my caregivers

The movie "seven pounds" is about a man who has killed 7 people and he would like to give back the lives he took by giving 7 people who really need them a piece of his flesh. So with that being said I would like to give away my 7 pounds of flesh to the people I care A LOT about. So here it goes:

My eyes: I would like to give to Theretha for always taking the time to read into a bad situation and be there even when it didn't always clear say that you were needed. Thank you for over hearing the things that were not being said.

My ears: I would like to give to Meghan for always being there to listen to the things that I had to complain about. Even when it was a repeat of the same things OVER and OVER again.

My mouth: I would like to give to Dr. Z for being able to say the things that I was afraid to say and even more. I would also like to give you my smile because some days would have been really rough without your laugh and your smile.

My legs: I would like to give to Dr. D for being the person to always be there to drive me around. Taking me from school to your house, from your house to doctors appointments and even to the hospitals. You would LOVE being almost 6 ft tall!! I promise ^_-

My lungs: I would like to give to my chemo mom, Janice for always being there to offering the advice that I needed when I didn't want to admit that I was a cancer patient. For telling me what I need and the things that I need to know.

My liver (the good part): I would like to give to Stacy because even when I couldn't find the effort to drink just water, she would have a beer and a positive attitude to be there for me. She could make me laugh with just the sound of her voice.

My hair: I would like to give to Ainee for being the first person to cut your hair off when all my hair started to fall out. I really appreciate you being there.

My backbone (the strongest one in town): I would like to give to Patrick for being strong enough to stand and take the news when others broke and buckled. (be careful you won't make through airport security)

My heart: I would like to give to all of you ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME NO MATTER WHAT!! The days that I didn't know I would need you were there and the days when I didn't know what to do. Thank you for more than I could possibly give.

My blood: I would like to give to those in my life who wanted to be there but couldn't be there. Its enough to give EVERY SINGLE person who prayed and made sure that I stayed in their positive thoughts a drop. I thank those who asked God to help me through this and matter fact I like to give my blood to those who were to busy or too afraid to be there for me. ( I have to warn you all, my blood is pretty special its got platinum in it!!)

So technically its more than 7 pounds of flesh but you get the idea. I owe more than just a few body parts to the people who were there for me when I didn't know I needed you.

  2. Just an added note...

    I don't know most of the people you mentioned but I seem to know them all through the stories you have frequently told me about them...

    You have told me how much these people have helped you, been there for you, and how you feel so blessed to have them in your life...

    I wish I could meet all of them. They seem to be wonderful people!
