Almost 8 years ago my dad passed away unexpectedly. In the mist of our shock and grief I knew donating his tissues would be a comfort to us and a WANT as a last wish. We did not know, but he signed up to be an organ and tissue donor a few months prior.
My dad was larger than life, a huge teddy bear who lived his life to the fullest. He was kind, the type of person who could make a stranger his best friend for life! He was and will always be my hero. As the years have gone by, it has gotten easer, but that piece is my heart I always feel missing. Knowing that he will live on in others is the greatest gift.
