I always wondered if I were able to do this. When my Mom was alive I told the doctors whatever she needed I would be right there. A couple of times she needs a blood transfusion but I wasn't close enough in the area for as fast as she needed it.

But I found out I was strong enough for that plus more. I come to find out when people are asked how far would they go for another person they really don't know until they are faced with the situation in finding out first hand.
