the good that came out of our loss

[Margies3]

I want to take just a minute to share something with you.

Jamie's death is horrible. There is NO question about it. Worst thing I've ever experienced.

But one good thing has come out of it. A long time ago, Jamie talked to her dad (my brother) and told him that if anything ever happened to her she absolutely wanted to be an organ donor.

Rin talked to the doctors the night of her accident. Because she died on impact, her heart could not be donated, nor could most of her other organs.

HOWEVER, they did take what was still usable for someone. They brought a list out to Rin today. A LONG list. They told what they took and then they told non-identifying info on who got it. I did not know that they did that. What a comfort this has been to our family!!!

One of the really, really biggies for my brother was when he read that 3 TEEN-AGE kids received valves from her heart. It's almost like feeling like somewhere her heart is still living. And because of her sacrifice, someone's heart IS living tonight.
