His older sister had passed away a year or two before from the same condition and had donated her organs so when the time came the family wanted to do the same. The sound his mom made when they had the conversation was a sound I will never forget. A sound so full of pure grief. But in the end they proceeded on with the donation. Usually after a year if both donor and recipient want to meet they can (they wait to make sure the recipient is doing well). I think they met their daughter' recipients.</p> <p>After that experience I pretty much bawl at things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transplant-story-katie-couric#post-726186 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:52:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 726186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ah that would make me cry! both if I were her, and watching it. i should probably skip, already emotional this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transplant-story-katie-couric#post-726144 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:42:59 +0000 petunia354 726144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a kidney from my dad which is a different situation but I'd like to think that I would want to meet the organ recipient if I was ever in that situation. Being able to see a part of your love one live on in someone else has got to be such a bittersweet feeling. I know for my dad to be able to see me thriving on a daily basis and knowing that he saved my life is something that we are both grateful for everyday. A lot of parents aren't able to give their children the gift of life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transplant-story-katie-couric#post-726101 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:35:11 +0000 Mrs. Polish 726101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a Katie fan, but it's on now and she has a mom who is meeting the recipient of her daughter's heart donation and is getting ready to listen to the heart. Omg. Cry, cry, cry. </p> <p>Would you want to meet the organ recipient? </p>
