      @@Non-religiou I want you to go to 11 years old me who was told that her dad was in heaven and tell her to her face that "lol is that the loving god you believe in? The God that took your dad? ". Can you? I hope not, and if not, then why would that be different with that video. We have a saying in my culture "for each situation its speech", means that you can voice opinions, but not whenever you want to, there are just times when it's not the time to bring it up. Go under videos of debates of God's existence and the legitimacy of religions and say it , open a social media page where you make fun of believers if you want... But not here. You don't even convince anyone like that.

    A Friend of mine committed suicide several years ago. His heart was the only organ that was savable and given to an Older gentleman that served his country in the Air Force for 45 years. His Mother was able to meet him after one year and that was if he wanted to meet. She was able to hear his heartbeat and they are still really good friends to this day.

    I love that they said that this young man was her son's "legacy." How beautiful to see that hope can come out of tragedy, that even though a death by accident can feel so meaningless, it was given a special meaning in the donation- her son was able to save someone else's life. Whatever good things that donor recipient goes on to do in his life, they happen because her son saved him. It's so wonderful that this guy is now an ongoing part of his donor's parents' lives. It was the last gift their son gave to them: a comfort for their grief. I am so moved by this.

      @Arista Powers I know!! That's why organ donation is SOOO important to have noted on your drivers license!! The need is sooo dire!! My brother is in need of a kidney and a pancreas, but both must come from the same donor. That means someone will lose a loved one in order for my loved one to live. It's such a hard thing to lose a loved one, but they can live on in others with their selfless donation of a few organs and others will be able to live on because of their generosity. Their was a infant who just passed away in a area not far from here who was in need of a liver I think due to a rare genetic birth disorder...and I can't IMAGINE what that babies family went thru watching her be so sick and suffering. But she would've needed the organ to come from another baby, toddler or small child. And that's a even harder position to be in....waiting for someone elses child to pass just so that child can live. But it didn't happen and now she's a angel and with Jesus. 👼🏻💔😓🕊⚘🌈 And a gf of mine just donated a kidney less than 2 wks ago in a donation 'circle'...where several were donating to a few recipients, and she did such a unbelievably sweet thing and for a stranger at that!! 💝 So ya, this gal getting to meet the young man who had her childs heart n on her wedding day of all days....just got me!! What a AWE-SOME gift they gave him but in turn how her husband arranged for him to be there...was AMAZING!!! I wish them all the VERY BEST life can bring them!!! 💘🙏❤

    I wonder how it would have felt for a mother to hear the heart beats of her dead son. Just the thought was so overwhelming it made me cry.
