As we all know family means everything. My 30 year old babyboy lost an eye in a freak accident over the weekend. it's been very stressful. I've seen all and am donating an eye to him. Surgery this week. Thoughts and prayers are needed....

No matter how old they get, they are always a fathers baby, I glad I am not alone in thinking of my son and daughter that way.

I had never heard of living eye transplants, and honestly only knew about donor cornea transplants before your post.  The unselfish courage and love to preserve your baby's binocular sight by sacrificing your own is truly inspiring.  Prayers and wishes are sent to you from a far.  You have made my hero list

Your gift to your son has brought tears to my eyes.  Such a selfless act of love.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

What a completely selfless act.  I am blown away

Very noble act indeed!

Hope both of you come out of this all well and healed.
Good luck!

Gentle

May blessing fall upon you two.........what an amazing Father.

You are a wonderful father and you and you family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Wow I am just in tears over your unselfish love.  My boys will always be my baby boys even if they are grown and taller than me. Stay strong sqeezeum. Your courage is amazing and love does win over any battle. Especially love for our kids.
BIG hugs and kisses

...I can't remember reading anything quite as powerful on this board or elsewhere. You are the true definition of a 'cool dad'.

Bet you'll get some great discounts from the ladies once you heal up as well! Woo Hoo!

Thoughts and prayers,

Sir C

And if the ladies don't step up with discounts, I'll throw a few dollars in a pot to make sure you get your earthly, hobby reward.

Wow, that is simultaneously one of the most heart-wrenching and inspiring things I have ever read.  You are an amazing man.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

There are several tasteless jokes open right now, but we can save that chain until you can participate in spirit intended.

Go get yourself a green point card when ready and I will flip some grants and franklins your way

a lump in my throat, and thinking what an amazing man. My prayers are with you and your family.
And yes, I will step up, whenever you need a discount to speed your recovery. Please call or email me. xxoo Sonya

I wish you and your son well and quick recoveries. You are truly an amazing father, I have always said I would do anything for my son but your gift is truly a step above and beyond.

Out of all the love squeezum is getting and only sonya offers a discount for her "recovery" services?!?!  The man is donating his eye to his son for pete's sake.  He deserves at least some $$$ consideration doesn't it?  He should receive more than just thoughts and prayers, he needs some discounts.  

Come on now, let's look out for him since he is looking out for his son so well.

Who is in?

Man that's the super stand up thing to do my kids mean more to me than life itself muck love and respect for you sir

There's very little that I can add to the words of support & encouragement.  In the spirit of giving, anyone that posted on this thread and was previously moderated has been set free.  It seemed like a fair trade for the love & compassion displayed here.

Your thoughts and prayers are so appreciated!!!  This is one hell of a family even if we are all naughty!!
Thanks again....love you all...

You Rock! I hope all goes well with Both of your surgerys!
