Background

^ Original sunrise photo.
^ Original donor exchange photo.
I chose to place an image of a marrow donor and marrow recipient embracing in the forefront of a sunrise. I think it makes for a symbolic image: a sunrise is the start of a new day ... a transplant -- the start of a new life.
In fact, marrow recipients, when asked how old they are, may tell you they are the age in years equivalent to their days/months/years post-transplant. Example: a 45 year-old man who received the gift of life (a marrow transplant) seven years ago, would be 7 years old.
