I'm seeking Honorees to list for my blood donation?


I try to keep on [a schedule] for my blood donations. I am told that I can donate blood every 56 days, which I do.
I also try to list WHYAMIDONATING? (reasons) for donating blood. I have listed many reasons; granted, a few are quite outside "logic." :-')
I recall once listing "For the doggie who I saw crossing the street". - The blood center gladly accepted my donation as a mere Donation-in-kind due to a lack of specificity.
Who might I list as a REASON FOR THIS DONATION on Friday, July 11 of this year?
Thanks for submittal ideas.

I am an O+

My Papaw was O+ and was a regular donor. He was on a first name basis with the Blood Assurance staff in our town in Tennessee. He passed away on December 6th. He had Alzheimer's and fought the disease for 10 years. Falls and breaks are common with this disease because they get up for no reason whatsoever and don't think about things such as the ease of their power lift chair or that they are walking off and leaving their walker or cane behind. It was nothing to find him wandering around the house at 3 in the morning with his walker sitting comfortably next to his chair. He broke one hip twice and the other once. His 3rd hip fracture lead to pneumonia and that is what evidently took his life. He had taken several units of blood before his passing. To this day, he would keep giving if he could. Blood Assurance knew that they could call him that morning and he would be there that afternoon giving the same blood type you do.

His name is James Moore. I would be honored (and so would he) if anyone wanted to give blood in his honor.
