Dear beloved friends and family,

Yesterday, as we celebrated all of the blessings that we have to be thankful for, our transplant friend Kamran in Minnesota went home to God after a very long and tough fight with Graft vs. Host Disease and other complications from his unsuccessful transplant.

Kamran was such a sweet and loving little boy who welcomed us on the the transplant unit as he was being released back to the RMH, and later, brought many smiles to our faces once we returned to the RMH as well. One of my favorite moments with Kamran was during one of the Thursday night Bingo games and Kamran came over to our table to play with Gracie and her new laptop toy. :) She loved having him close by and gave him many flirty smiles behind her mask.

I ask God to envelop his parents, Kelli and Bahram in his comforting arms during this difficult time. And I know that despite the endless grief that those who have lost a child must suffer, they will be able to always celebrate Thanksgiving in its purest and most precious form. They will always be so thankful for the beautiful moments they shared with their amazing son.

I ask you all to please pray for Kamran's family during this difficult time.

We will never forget you, sweet boy. We are so thankful to have been able to know you and be touched by your life and love.
