Garett had been in mia's family for a month, mia was only five and he was eight.Garett was adopted. Both Garett and mia love sport and they are good at soccer. When Garett was in high school, during one of the game he was tackled and had a hard time getting back.Garett had several large bruises on his back and they were not normal. When mia's parent took Garett for a check up he was diagnosed with aplastic anemia a diseases that when a person bone marrow is destroyed or not bale to function properly. People with this disease can bleed to death from internal hemorrhaging. The doctor told Garett that he could not play sports anymore. THEN, to the amazement he recovered, and the doctor aloowed him to play again. Several years later he had a relapse, and he spent those years fighting to live. In February 1997, the doctors ateempted a bone marrow transplant on Garett and was sucessful,but Garett had many complicaton . Garett died at the age of 24. Garett was one of the best atheletes that mia ever know, Garett was also her hero, her friend, her inspiration and her brother...forever.
