The donor for my brother will be in my prayers forever! He must have died in the very prime of life because the doctor said that it was a strong healthy lung. I know from working in an ER for a couple of years that most of those kind of donations of healthy organs come from head trauma patients. I can only think that he could have left behind a wife and children, perhaps...I can imagine his wife signing the papers to donate her husband's organs...his family, who made such a hard decision, are in my prayers forever as well! To think that a tragedy for one family became such a happy blessing for our family.
