Cord's Heart Remains

Our colleague Cord Jefferson's been in Saudi Arabia for what feels like a billion years. And, as some of you may know, he traveled over yonder to donate a kidney to his father, a surgery that goes down today. Never fear, however, because Princess Cordless going to come out on top:

Still fuming in the stink of an iodine shower, an IV drip in my right hand making my typing difficult, I’m buzzing from a sleeping pill and thinking about what’s right to write when one will be waking up to a whole new life.

How about this:

I am not scared, because every last little thing was worth it.

We can't wait to see your sick scar, mister J!

Wow–I'm really humbled by Cord's bravery and love for his father. My brother had one of his kidney removed last year — Id like to think I would donate one if he needed it, but the prospect makes me poop my pants a little.

Well done Cord, this is a reasonable price to pay back to a parent, I passed by just after the surgery and saw how the "sleeping pill" worked on you, get well soon, I plan to celebrate both of you in Riyadh.
Love to you and "Uncle" Jeff….
Shehab and Family.
