Me, My Brother and I ...
Dear Raymond,
As you know, Bubba, I have no way to ever repay you
for your unselfish gift of life you so eagerly gave to me. All I can offer to you is my undying love, my respect, my gratitude
and my humble heart. I do want you to know, however, that if you ever need a kidney, my brother, God gave me two. If you ever
need a lung, my dear friend, of these He also gave me two. However, if you ever need a portion of my liver, you just may want
to think about that one for a while, Bubba.
But God in His infinite wisdom, for which I sometimes struggle to understand,
has given me only one heart. This too, my strength, belongs to you. You may think I'm crazy, and we've had this talk
before, but if you should ever have the misfortune to ever need a new heart, mine, my sweet brother, belongs to you.
Bubba. There is no greater love, than for a brother to lay down his life for another, for without this sacrifice you
made for me, I would not be here today. Please understand, best friend, that I now count all my days as blessings and as
"overtime", in this game of life we play.
With what's left
of life that life has to offer us, my sweet brother, let's play on ...
My DNA is 100% your DNA now. My blood type was A+ and is now completely yours. Remember Bubba, you will never find
another donor on this planet so closely matched to you. I will be here as long as God is willing, but until then my friend,
I'll be here for you.
Again, I don't know how I could ever, ever repay you, dear one, but know this well, "my twin",
this heart, which has oft' been broken, now belongs to you.
Your "Bubba",
Robert
P. S. To whom it may concern: This stands as a legal document which I
have personally prepared. Should I somehow become incapacitated and am put on life support and should my brother need a replacement
organ at that time, I wish my organs to be offered first to him.
I'm a donor...
Are you?
