I'm having a hard time choosing a winner for the latest Write a Caption Contest...so, I thought you could help me. Choose your favorite caption for the picture above by participating in the poll below. The poll will automatically close at 12 noon EST on January 28, 2009, so vote NOW!
Edit - I realize that not everyone can participate in the following poll...many people have been organ donors for a while and many others are unable to be an organ donor for many reasons...this post is not meant to make anyone feel left out or guilty. The goal of this poll is simply to find out who may have been moved by Tricia's story to become an organ donor. I purposely didn't add other options, such as "I have always been an organ donor and have always known it's important", but please, feel free to leave a comment about yourself if you are unable to participate in the poll. Thanks!
During the 40 days that Tricia was on the transplant list (Feb. 22 - April 2), approximately 712 people (sons and daughters, parents, siblings, grandparents) died while awaiting an organ donation.
I have literally received thousands of comments and emails from people who have told me that they have become organ donors for the first time because of reading Tricia's story. I'm very curious to find out just how many people Tricia's story has effected in this way, because I think it is incredibly encouraging to know that we all have the ability to be used to change lives.
Please, take a few seconds to answer the following poll honestly. You can answer multiple times if more than one member of your family can participate. And, feel free to comment about your decision.
So, I love the whole blog thing, and because of our life here at the hospital, I have a lot of time to blog and a lot of stuff to blog about. But, sometimes, I feel like I blog so much that some of my most important posts get bumped down so quickly that a lot of people might not get the chance to read them all, which I don't love (and, which is partly why I love the word "bump" so much).
So, tell me what you think. Try to answer the following poll based on how much you actually read of my blog.
If you don't read it all, tell me that I blog too much.
If you read it all and can't wait for more, tell me that I don't blog enough.
If you have just enough time and energy to read all or nearly all, tell me that I blog just the right amount.
Thanks!
Nate
I had the comments disabled for some reason...please feel free to let me know why you voted the way you did.
Gwyneth's eyes have yet to begin showing any color. Tricia would love for them to be blue like mine, and I would love to have another girl to sing Van Morrison songs to.
What do you think? You have until 11:59pm on March 2, 2008 to cast your vote. Only one vote per username, so don't waste it!
