Abstract
A father recounts a transformative journey of love, loss, and learning as his son developed and eventually died of a fungal infection that occurred during a period of immunocompromise after a bone marrow transplantation to treat hypodiploid leukemia. He then thanks the many physicians, researchers, family members, and friends who came together to memorialize his son and create knowledge, hope, and wisdom, so that others will not have to suffer a similar journey.
