My son passed away yesterday at the age of 21 from heroin.
He was a great kid. Loved the car wash business.
Everybody loved him. He had friends from all over come in to see him. The ICU was so kind to allow everyone (2-3 people at a time) to come in to say their goodbyes yesterday. The last friend and 2 parents of a friend left the ICU at 11:00 last night.
To our surprise he had signed up to be a Organ Donor.
The lady from the Donor Association told us that he didn't sign up just once but 4 different times since he was 16.
She said that everyone at the agency said the he must have had a caring heart.
Now that heart is caring for someone else.
They said that his donations will save between 80-100 (One Hundred) lives within approximately the next 72 hours.
We were in shock. No one else in the family had signed up to donate.
So hug your kids everyday with meaning and tell them you love them.
I'm writing this with tears flooding down my face now REALLY knowing how precious our time with our children and loved ones are.
