I can say.. Fiesta Bowl Win, or a Great new coach for WVU... and I really do want those things... But what's most important for me this year... Is a new heart for my Uncle Jerry. He's in the hospital because his heart is pumping at 10% of what it should be. He;s been in on the transplant list for over 2 years in and out of the hospital.
The docs told him he will be in the hospital until the transplant or until.......
He's my mother's younger brother and he and his wife and their kids have had a really really hard row to tow. He's also extremely funny,, OMG.. He's hysterical..
I've always been a HUGE advocate of organ donation but this time, it REALLY comes REALLY close to home.

My thoughts are with your uncle and his family MJ.
I guess my wish is for this whole coaching saga to be over with and put behind us.

I hope your uncle gets what he needs and his stay in the hospital is short MJ.
The best present for me would be the continued good health and happiness for my kids

MJ your uncle will be in my prayers. Besides the WVU coaching saga to be over and a Fiesta bowl victory, I am getting what I want. My fiance is coming to DC to spend 2 weeks with me for christmas and new years. I have to work on christmas eve and day, but knowing that when I get home she will be there, it will be the best christmas.

I have the most amazing and incredible news..
Within hours of me posting this message a potential donor came available for my Uncle Jerry. He had transplant surgery this afternoon and seems to be doing well.
I request that you continue to pray for my family, but I'd also like you to pray for the family of the 19 year old man and his family that so generously gave new life to my uncle. Their family is having an aweful tragedy this holiday season to give new life to others. I thank them infinately for giving the greatest gift of all, life.
