Amazing, no?

1. This is such wonderful news!

Thank you, Universe!

Much love and light to the family that lost the little one whose heart she received. May they be blessed for their compassion towards this other child and her family. :loveya:

2. What a gift.

I can only imagine the heartbreak the other family must have gone through, and to make a life-saving decision like that in their moment of anguish...

I hope their decision gives them comfort and joy that not only did they save a life, but their little one lives on.

3. What a wonderful gift to receive....

I was wondering if the baby who received the heart will share the same memories of the little baby who died. I have heard stories about adults who receive someone else's organs that have new memories of certain food taste and other phenomena.

I'm glad for the little baby girl:loveya: and pray for the family that lost their baby:cry:

Thanks for the update BlueIris:hug:

4. Hopefully, the family that lost their child can take some comfort

in the knowledge that this loss saved another baby. It might not be much comfort, but it might help a little, at least someday.
