Well, today is the BIG day. I've given the transplant idea a great deal of thought and decided that it should be approached as a recipe. So here it goes "Michael Dear"...
Preparation:
First of all, please make sure to groom yourself (shower and shave). Next, make sure that you put on your dress scrubs, fresh white socks and your "really cool" slippers. There is nothing like a well dressed man to give a great first impression.
Ingredients:
Practice your best smile. A handshake is not appropriate here since you will be meeting the essence of the donor in a bag. The smile is for you and me...and Mylove and the transplant team.
Use your best (lower decibel) voice to proclaim your love and gratefulness to "said" donor. I will join the chant.
Directions:
Think positive thoughts while blending the mixture of stem cells into your body. Think health, strength, and determination. Mentally welcome the cells into your body, making a spiritual connection to the cells that are bound and determined to make you a better golfer, an avid shopper, a better basketball player, and a man who is in touch with his feminine side.
Consult the hospital prayer book for the "Stem Cell Transplant" prayer.
NOTE: You don't have to change a thing about yourself. I REALLYlove you just the way you are.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for all your comments. We really love reading them. It is a reminder of how lucky we are to have you in our lives. Today is the beginning of our new life together. May we have many years of laughter, love, and celebrations with all of you. We Love you. Cookie & Mike

Dear Mikey,
I've been holding you and Cookie in my heart all day. Brent has already called in twice asking for news. I found the perfect heart rocks on the shores of the lake and they reminded me of your strength, courage, tenacity and perfection. Looking forward to hear about your +1 day...tomorrow. Much love, A&B
Mikey and Cookie,
I LOVE YOU GUYS! Here's to great days ahead.
Luv Ya,
Marceee
Dear Mikey,
I wanted to send you a happy birthday book for your first birthday. Sorry, I sent it to my granddaughter instead, but your name is in it.
I love that you have a new friend named Daisy Mae, however, I have a problem visualizing her in "short, shorts" How does she hold them up on such a skinny pole body? Being a Nascar fan
I certainly can appreciate her "wheels". I will try to check my spelling tonight:) I always tell my students to reread their writing, I need to take my own advice. You sound wonderful, can't wait to talk to you, and perhaps see you in August.
As always love you,
Bonnie B.

Looks like the Zemel writing gene as well as the great music gene has rubbed off on you....
