As Mailyna's life changing journey has been a success, and her new chapter in her life has began, this Tuesday she is going to finallyeet in person, the donor who made it possible.

If you are free on Tueaday, please feel free to attend and share with us a very emotional day in our lives.

And thank you all for your support, prayers and blessings during this very traumatic time in her life and mine....

Glen

I think that will be emotional for all.  Glad she is doing so good.

At least you didn't use "Lolo"! :smt009

Crazy thing about this, was after talking with her, her parents came from the same province as mine did in the PI. As we talked more, we seemed to share a common sir-name, so I called my mom and let her speak to her... Turns out there is a "strong" possibility that we are actually 3rd cousins....  small world!

For those of you that may have missed the news yesterday, here's KTVU story; Rob Roth did an excellent job covering it, the best amongst all the local channels:

Just caught this on KTVU this morning. I was only half paying attention and then heard the name and the lightbulb went off in my head. What a great story ! Glad that everyone involved is doing so well.

Coincidence?  Hardly.  Are you still wondering how she matched Mailyna?
