Marrow Offering Experience

庄司 美登里さん
Midori Shoji
(50-year-old / Hiroshima-shi)

It is the bread that oneself lives day by day.


" I want somebody to live for my daughter. " It was eight years ago which she was 18 years old. I lost my daughter by a traffic accident. It became the opportunity that she thought about precionsnedd of life.
She suffered from anemia once. "I want to be beneficial to a person suffering from illness." After the death of my daughter, I saw a pamphlet of by chance marrow bank in a lobby of a city hall .
"This is." I wrote application postcard immediately at the place and mailed to the post, but I never knew the detailed thing about bone marrow transplantation till then". On a video about marrow bank I looked at at the time of the first test, I knew the structure for the first time, but there was not the hesitation.
I passed through the second test, the third test and agreed to offering of marrow liquid the last. If I had anything troubled by myself and stopped it, I put a partner to trouble.… I am careful with cathing cold and avoid staying up late and take nourishment exactly. With one of busy work to be concerned with company management, I paid scrupulous attention to health until that day. There was not the uneasiness.
A letter fell on me from the offering patient through a coordinator of marrow bank several months later from collection of marrow liquid . Of course there were not a name and an address, but an idea of thanks "that thank you for me who didn't know the name either" was spelled there and heated up a chest.
But Mrs. Shoji thinks in this way.
"It wasn't from such feeling whether I do a volunteer. This time I was serious and felt weight of life and a value to live healty. As the bread which would work to the utmost (beat me), I offered it, and oneself is anything all day long all day long."
