Happy Birthday Nate the Snake Potato Cake (Bump)



May is CFF Awareness Month
Happy Birthday Nathan!  My little nephew is now 27, he's almost a man.  Something I had not done simply because I didn't think about it when I got my driver's license and no one asked at the DMV is to become an organ donor.   It was said that there are signs in the driver's license office about organ donation, which is great, but ADD boys don't read signs.  Someone has to gently place their hand on our shoulder and say, "Andy, do I have your attention?" . . .

So my birthday gift to little Nate is my organ donation registration.  Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you registered to donate your organs?  Why not give the gift of life when you die?
Become a donor today!

I have followed your lead and just signed up with my state's organ and tissue donation registry. I have been following Nathan's Blog and it is having a positive impact on my life. I also donated today to CF Great Strides in his name (for Tricia), I am feeling better about myself.

I'M REGISTERED!

I pray that there have been many many discussions going on in households everywhere like there have been in mine regarding organ donation...specifically because of the awareness Nate and Tricia have brought to us.

My husband and I were misinformed about some of the facts regarding organ donation but thanks to all of you for keeping it prominent in your sites, we are now better educated and registered!

Just sent for my card too. You rock... what a cool uncle. I have a very ADHD son, and I hope he grows up to be just like you!

Is there some historical significance to "Nate the Snake Potato Cake"? Bet he loves that about as much as I like Marcia Marshmallow! :) Fortunately no one has used that for a few years now! I think the last was one of my brothers a few years ago, in some nostalgic blubbering of some sort... Sure am in awe of God's birthday gift to Potato Cake! Praying my heart out tonight!

I signed my DL a long time ago but thanks to your post I realized that I have a new DL and it doesn't have a place on the back! My family knows my wishes but I'm not taking any chances... I shall write on the back with a big sharpie marker!

What an awesome birthday present...and glad to see how quickly your eyebrows grew back! Next time leave the "grooming" to a pro! ha,ha...that was the best laugh all day! Our prayers continue for your eye & the sell of your home...we're still trying to sell ours from b4 we moved to OBX (Jan.'05) Maybe God will perform miracles for both of our houses!

Okay I see your card here but I signed up years ago when I got my license at 16 and didn't get a card. The donation of life symbol is on my drivers license is that not enough?
