  1. I wish I would have met my mommy’s helper donor.

  2. That's sad but beautiful. What a wonderful gift Amen 🙏

  3. ❤ ohh I hope he listened to her ❤

  4. God bless both families! 😘😘

  5. These stories get me all the damn time – God bless all involved!

  6. I'm not crying you are

  7. thatis awesome. May God continue to bless her.

  8. wow, I got emotional watching that. Bless them both.

  9. God bless you all for giving this beautiful young woman a second chance at a wonderful life ❤.

  10. My oldest son passed in 2001 from a hit and run on Oahu… donated his organs. I met his 2 kidney recipients and his heart went to a priest who didn't want to meet us, his liver went to a lady who later passed due to other complications..🤜🤛💪💪

  11. I was crying seeing his face before meeting her.

  12. ❤ she’s not wasting the opportunity

  13. I'd like to congratulate you for informing me about the ageless care process. I also wanted you to know that I took the 1988 R-rated horror flick called Child's Play very seriously. It goes totally the opposite/reversed of the Laurel and Hardy movie episode called The Flying Deuces.

  14. Who is peeling the onions….

  15. This is what we call community. 🥹🥹

  16. The most amazing gift of life ❤

  17. That makes me want to cry

  18. recipients often take on some of the personalities of the donors because around organs is surrounded by connective tissue. By evolution or design the connective tissue is electric magnetic & fiber optic conductive, one property of electric magnetic fields is the ability to hold memory.

  19. super touching. I am a trauma icu nurse & see incidents where the love one is brain dead & you can imagine the grieve of the family. Not everyone donates, but some do. we never really see what happens on the recipient side. so glad these two families could meet!

  20. Very touching 😊❤🎉
