An incredible love story

CINCINNATI (Brad Johansen) -- Ty Jameson just looks like a rocker. A bad boy made to jam. So when he got the offer at 22 to play in the Virgin Islands, why in the world would he stay in Manchester, Ohio? He was killin' it on the beach; she was dying on the farm.Samantha Boling suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. She said, If I don't get a transplant I won't be alive. It's either transplant or I won't be alive.Suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, Sam needs new lungs. But before Ty left, no oxygen was needed. There were no strings attached.Sam said, Hanging out, house parties; of course thru all this I fell in love with him. When asked if she told Ty about her feelings she responded, Of course not!It was the good girl who wanted the bad boy.Jessie Helms, Sam's friend, said, She said her friends would say, Stay away from that guy. I think I was one of those people because I knew what he used to be.Sam apparently knew what he could be.Ty, Sams boyfriend, said, I came back because I felt something 2,000 miles away, something in my heart I've never felt before.She really didn't know he'd come back and if he did he'd have to get past mom.Sandra Boling, Sam's mom, said, Please don't bring this long haired tattooed guy here because I will probably ask him to leave.And then, one year ago in March that long haired tattooed guy showed up on their porch. He was there for breathing treatments, hospital visits and moral support. But all that didnt add up to 00,000 for a lung transplant.Satrista Myrick will have Sam Jam on her property said, This guy I barely knew came here and said, Hey, can we have a festival at your house?Ghost Mountain would be one of 17 bands to play on the 18 acres in a four day, April festival to raise enough to make Sam say yes to Ty.I'd marry her right now, I told her that, said Ty.Sam said, I would marry him today but I want to be able to enjoy our wedding. I want to be able to dance, to walk down the aisle without having extra oxygen with me; I want new lungs.And by now, mom's onboard. Sam is first in line for her blood type on the transplant waiting list. She got the call Friday, March 20. Timing's everything, especially the first time some bad boy plays a love song, written just for you.Sam said, I don't want to say I changed him; love changed him. I think love changes everyone." Sometimes it's OK if all you do today is breathe. Follow Brad Johansen on Twitter @bradjohansen, and LIKE him on Facebook.Follow us on Twitter @Local12 and LIKE us on Facebook for updates!

She got the transplant and they got married. She became a public speaker and fought off cancer as well. They were very happily married, but she passed away in 2018.😢
