There are very few good things you can cull from tragedy...certainly most of us would not find the "good" in losing a child through a tragic accident. But there is good, there is positive as evidenced by the parents of the young man in our community who died this week. His parents donated his organs. Even in their grief they realized the value of life and that their son's life could still carry on and count to the benefit of someone else. It was said that this young man did many good things, lived a good life. It would appear that he will continue to do this. A life for a life never had such powerful meaning.
Have you signed your organ donor card or the back of your driver's license?

A good reminder for all – and, yes, I have. So have my boys.
God bless those parents.
I signed one - years ago .
many need transplants here - it is " unfortunate " that someone has to die - for those needy - in order for them to continue to live .
It is something else for them to deal with - a difficult decision for them to make or even consider -
Signing cards like these - makes the decision for them - and they can carry out their last wishes .
yes I'm a donor, I think my girls are as well, sweet post & how hard to lose a child
I was told after I had my chemo that I could not donate my organs *sigh* but the Commander is a donor and so are all 6 of our kids. Is it that way in Canada too?
Love,

Same for me LuLu...I can't donate because I've had cancer and chemo...and I have an antibody in my blood (since '92) and that rules out blood and organ donation. I think I can donate my eyes but that's all.
Great story and reminder.
I love the picture too ... it says it all.
Yes I have!
