If you didn’t watch the CBS Football pre-game show today, you should watch this. It’s a touching piece about Cincinnati Bengals’ player Chris Henry and the fact that his family donated his organs after his accident.
My brother died 2 weeks ago. And while I am still sad and miss him tons, especially today, he was a donor. He not only changed people’s (and their families) lives with his kidneys, lungs, pancreas and more, his heart was a match for a 16-year old boy who would have died within 2 days without a new heart. The donor nurse said he was a hero. And I will always remember him this way.
It was weird not talking to him today. Not checking my phone constantly for his call. So be thankful for your family and friends. And for your fluffy critters who make your life better. And for your health.
Be a donor. Truly is a waste to not be.
And watch this clip. It’s short and it’s worth watching. And it’s important.
