Finding out that the N.I.H has been waiting for one vial of blood from my mother for over 2 years has completely taken the wind out of my sails.

I’m shocked.

This is David’s and mine only change for any kind of a hope for an answer, and they’re just waiting for one vial of blood from my very own mother.

Upset doesn’t describe the pain and emptiness I feel right now. I just can’t believe it.
