El 2 de diciembre de 2009, mi esposo, Dave, de 49 años, murió de un ataque cardíaco masivo.

Después de su muerte, un coordinador de Give of Life me contactó después de que salimos del hospital para preguntarme si estaría dispuesto a donar órganos y tejidos. Decidí donar las córneas de Dave.

Sé que no fue una donación que salvó vidas, pero fue una donación que cambió la vida de alguien para recuperar la vista. Me siento muy orgulloso del hecho de haber tomado una decisión tan maravillosa en mi hora más oscura y la de mis hijos.

Y ahora Dave sigue vivo y les da a nuestros hijos la sensación de devolver algo en lo que su padre realmente creía.
