"I Do Believe in God"
The year was as it should be for he and me 2003.
Hello and let me introduce myself?
My name is just "Chaz"
And, I need a special favor from you?
Your heart and pair of lungs too?
...
I was born in the early sixties and only child.
My parents raised me well.
(with good intentions)
And, so much wanted me to succeed where they had not.
Little did they then realize or no that my life?
Would be an up and down roller coaster of needs.
...
I first noticed my problems as a young child.
You know after school children they like to get together and play.
Play like baseball football or basketball.
But not for me.
...
I shouldn't realize that my cardio was kind of out of whack.
But why me?
You see I was born with a hole in my heart.
And back then there was not too much that could be done for me.
The doctor said it was the size of a dime and no matter how hard I tried?
Each and every time?
"Impossible"
..
So, I would watch them play and ask for me?
I would just scribble a little bit.
And, between me and you?
And, to tell you the truth.
Yes, I got pretty good at it too!
...
I particularly liked reading the funny pages and drawing Schultz's characters.
And of course my favorite was Snoopy!
Yes my hands were in the right place but as for my broken heart?
...
I had my first heart attack it only age eleven.
Honestly?
To God that day?
I died and saw Heaven!
But you see for me?
"Impossible"
...
When I grew older and got a lot more bolder?
I learned to pace myself as the years passed.
And as I started to wonder?
How much longer will I last?
...
I felt cursed as if somebody was picking on me?
You see?
And in my fifties?
I got more needy and much more worse.
...
I had to leave my management position at the Walmart in Philly.
My doctor put me on oxygen 24-10.
He told me I'd be lucky to ever really walk again!
And yes I could barely walk 100 yards without collapsing.
Is this some terrible play acting?
"Everlasting?"
...
Yes my days were numbered and I needed a Miracle immediately!
On April 1st 2003 my GP came in to see me at the hospital.
Dr Bruce said that they had not only a matching heart but also a pair of lungs!
Yes, from some unfortunate 18-year-old kid.
And, unfortunately for he?
Yes, he was diagnosed Brain-Dead the day before.
...
This was one thing started to move fast.
Doctor Bruce and Doctor McKinney come into my room.
I was heavily dosed on painkillers and permanent oxygen was keeping me alive.
Dr McKinley said to me that we do have a match and you're being prepped immediately for surgery.
Stat!
...
Amazingly!
Yes!
The operation went extremely well!
Yes thanks to the parents of that unfortunate young teenager.
And now 18 years later?
As of April 1st, 2021?
God works in strange ways!
And his work always will get done!
"Impossible"
...
Note: Only three weeks after my son Jason's death.
Yes, this man Chaz was writing me letters.
He was talking about my pain.
As well as my families but nothing about having his chest cracked open.
His lungs ripped out and a new set put in!
...
His letters continued regularly; first telling me about his daughter becoming a Emergency Room Nurse.
And, his son taking a break halfway through an 8-year Engineering career.
...
The last letter I received?
Well, now it's been over 10 years.
Three times in his last letter to me.
He was telling me about how he had gone back to work and was doing so much better.
That he was running a 7K race.
That it was taking him 28 minutes a mile but he was completing it!
...
Yes, for "The Gift of Life and Jay"
And, also bicycling twice a year in my son's name and in his honor.
He told me he is off all and any anti-rejection medications!
And, he felt it that was a Miracle too!
...
And, finally?
When he wrote To Me?
Three times in large letters and dark italic print he wrote these words.
"JAY-SON"
Some of Jason's friends called him Jay.
I called him Jason and I also called him son.
And, now as for my friend Chaz?
Jason too is his son!
