Blood Donor

Last week, a friend of mine sent a text blast asking to find blood donors for her mother who was sick in the hospital.  It was an opportunity to help and save life so in my quick selfish thinking I volunteered a friend and even my own brother to donate blood. But, on a second thought, why not me? I was a blood donor once but it was a long time ago. Doing it for the second time would be a good try.  So I went in the hospital with another friend who will donate as well. It took few hours before we finally faced the giant needle. The physical examination and some blood testing was conducted and we passed as donors.  I was sleepy. I thought, can I just lay down and sleep while you get my blood out of me? No we waited, until we finally had our moment to lay down, give my left arm and then aaughh!!!! (in my mind). So I filled the bag, think of Zesto tetra pack... its a little bigger. I won't be too detailed anymore.  So why share this? Am I boasting of my noble act?...
