Cathy and her sister Shelly are on the front porch this sunny evening sorting through the cards and letters. Patrick and I were up until 3 am today reading some wonderfully written lines. Hallmark has nothing on many of Aaron's friends and family. Words of kindness are hugs to us.
A beautiful letter came in today's mail addressed from Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin. It reads in part:
To the Family of Aaron Meyer:
...Both corneas were transplanted and will help restore the sight of two individuals. The cornea is the clear front portion of teh eye. It acts as a "window" allowing light to enter into the eye.
...(Aaron's) donation has made life altering changes in two people and have provided them with the opportunity to once again see clearly without pain or suffering...
Our family shared tears of joy today. Aaron's journals from his year at Mount Bachelor Academy and 40 days in the Idaho desert are filled with references to beautiful scenery. God bless the doctors who used their God given talent to restore sight with Aaron's corneas. It was probably Sunday May 8th that I commented on his terrific eye sight. Amazing medicine.
Just think, two people will see the face of a loved one again. Two people will see a sunrise, sunset, stars and rainbows. Wow. This is a blessing for us too.
Peace
Tom
