Maybe it’s because I’m going to be a Dad soon.
Maybe it’s because I’m a sentimental fool.
Maybe it’s just because it’s a sad – yet beautiful – story.
Whatever it is, I read this and it utterly got to me.
Especially the last line.
Even more so, the last 5 words.
Those beautiful, heart wrenchingly sad yet utterly loving and longing, last 5 words.
Without wanting to come over all Oprahesque or to dismiss any of the hassles and pains we all have in our lives … reading this serves as a great reminder to be grateful for what you have and – more importantly – who you have in your life.
It also serves as a great reminder of why organ donation is such a wonderful thing to do.
I promise I’ll be back to my cynical, vindictive self on Monday, but till then … have a great weekend and hug someone important to you.
