Beautiful post, I so enjoy reading your posts & appreciate you sharing them. I am an organ donor, & know how important it is to know someone has been given a chance at life, & when a child is in this situation & has been given an organ for surviving to live, my heart goes to the family that had to make this decision as well. Both families are joined in this life-giving circumstance- very lovingly & joyful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Patricia, and thanks for being an organ donor. All these years of my wife doing these surgeries have taken a toll on her. For all of the people that participate in these cases there is a price they pay. This is another aspect of their dedication and their selflessness.
While my husband and I were both listed as organ donors, our age has used up our organs. (He is 82 and has kidney cancer. I am 75, and have RA). But we have both signed up to donate our bodies to U of M, when we go to Heaven and leave our earthly vehicles behind. Hopefully, students will study us and learn. Or, scientists will use our tissue and cells to discover new ways to heal. Or, because U of M may have their quota of donated bodies, they pass them on to other schools, research facilities, or places who test cars or ballistics. So, I may end up as a crash test dummy! Whichever....it'll be fun to watch! (After they are done with us, they will cremate our remains and return them to our family. No funeral costs. No cost for graves or headstones. It's a win/win!)
Donna, I’m sorry that your husband is sick. I will pray for him to be well. It’s an amazing thing what you both are doing. Even after you leave this world you are still giving, thank you Donna.
