Oh,my. The video is heartbreaking, inspiring, so sad and hopeful at the same time.
What a moving story… one which I’ll pass along on my blog as well.
14 years ago, my dad’s wife was dying of pulmonary hypertension caused by a previously-undetected congenital heart defect. She received a generous gift from the parents of an 18-year-old man upon his death. Because of his lungs, she lived 13 years before dying of complications from H1N1 flu.
We never met that young man or his family, but will always be grateful for those precious years.
Hello Sue, good to hear from you. That’s a wonderful story about your dad’s wife. I think being an organ donor is so important. God bless.
