bravery of a different kind

[boodie]

This story broke my heart when I heard what had happened 10 month old killed in pram by drunk driver and now the parents, in the midst of their grief and pain have donated baby Graces' organs so that other children may live happy and healthy lives. Yesterday in our paper, and I suspect in most sunday papers in australia, there was a form from the Organ Donation registery, I filled mine in and will send it off, I urge anyone who wants to donate their organs to fill in this form and register, sometimes it may feel that we aren't doing a lot in our life, but we can sure make our death count for an entirely unselfish reason.

ermmm, it really should be only something that you WANT to do, I fully respect people who don't it's a personal choice.

Oh, the poor bairn, and the poor parents. Bless them for their generosity to other families, though. And good for you for signing up. Here in Florida, we can declare on our driver licenses to be organ donors. I've done that on mine, though as mine get older, I don't know who'd want them! (grin)

*smile* same with mine, though as I always said even though my eyes are not worth a tinkers cuss, to someone who is blind, even my eye sight would be a blessing, it's all a matter of degrees.
