John William Washburn

John’s suicide death seemed senseless to me so when asked to donate eyes, tissue and bone in a most difficult time I decided on his behalf to donate. I do not know what John wanted but it was my decision. Perhaps I am the hero for making the decision on his behalf. It really doesn’t matter who the hero is. I just wanted to help someone if possible as I couldn’t help my husband. About a year later I received a letter from someone, their name was changed, who took the time to write and share how this donation helped them to live a restored life. He was so grateful. I was grateful to receive the letter. I had made the correct choice.
