I haven’t said anything about this here because..well, this is sort of my escape from real life at this time.

2 weeks ago, my husband of 37 years decided he had had enough of living. My only demands at the hospital were for the staff to keep him alive until our oldest son could get here from 4 hours away AND that they made it so my husband could donate as many organs as possible. I demanded that some good come out of something so horrible.

After 2 days, all the testing and matching was done and we let him go. All that time I knew that if God had really wanted him, He could have circumvented the machines. But God didn’t, the donees got all line up, and one day after life support was removed, 3 people were alive because hubby’s liver and both kidneys were able to save their lives. I haven’t gotten the tissues, etc report (man, you can donate tons of stuff!), but just knowing hubby’s death meant 3 people are alive today gives me comfort beyond belief.

So, tell the driver license people you want to donate organs. In our case, hubby’s license wasnt’ with his body, so they asked me. I was like “of course!” When we got his license back, there it was, that little red heart on the front, signifying donor.

Sorry, I kind of made this about me. The important thing is donate!!!
