Dear Ricky, The Lord took Jay so that you could give him away. That's what came to my mind when I read this poem. I'm glad you had the courage to donate from your broken heart. Dove

    The actual accident happened in front of a nurse's house her son Rocco was on a Disney vacation that my son should have been on but he was held back in kindergarten rock on Jason work quite friends later on told me she's going to miss seeing him pull up on his motorcycle after suffering miserably in a hospital for a couple hours she calls me said he's amazing words
    God loved your son so much that he wrapped his warm and loving arms around him and took him home where he belongs those words kind of haunt me to this day but they are true I don't play the sell the damn thing Ricky

This made me cry. I think your decision to donate Jay's organs to save others even in the midst of your own pain and grief was a selfless and compassionate act of unconditional love. I am sure God did and continues to bless you richly for it. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

    Well when I listen to your thoughts and as I was writing this and you talk about being blessed I guess to be able to write these kind of words down so quickly is a blessing it does come though from a very deep pain doesn't just beginner Escalade for my Sonic travel through my own wife why so miss 16 years later but you know what we can't protect them always we can't predict fate or destiny we can just now live the best for them thank you so much for this and have a blessed day my love dr.

What a poem! Your heart is poured out here, your hope, your faith, your pain. What you did is amazing. You lent life to someone else. You gave someone else hope. Not everyone can do that.

    Hi Sarah
    Before I first started writing this I was actually trying to sleep Linda thought or title came into my head and I said I don't want to sleep and lose this one so I got up when I drew a bath started to write a bit bit on it then I continued in the living room when it was completed I knew it was a winner.
    I've literally written hundreds of thousands of these things in 16 years enough to fill 700 books and you know what never stops it never will it's a dedicated living for my son which I will continue to do one day everybody will realize more about organ tissue donations we'll make the phone call necessary to Save a Life as we had when Jason nipple 17 hours and brain-damaged needed so much to move on not just above but to have his organs move forward also he did not want to waste that opportunity I knew it I sensed it and I simply checked off from a chart many organs that me and my wife before daughters decided I needed to go help those that are suffering even more God bless you for these beautiful words it makes my heart full dr.

I can relate somewhat to this write. I lost a son to cancer, so young, so talented, but he made Heaven his home that I can assure. My heart weeps for you and yet grateful your son shared life to someone in need. My blessings to you,

    Thanks been for your kind words and sorry and my condolences for your loss problem with life is it's so fleeting we try as hard as we can to protect them but when they turn 18 you figure they're grown let them on their own the story is amazing as sad the driver didn't want to live now he's alive and my son isn't accepting four people three still alive 16 years later at least I have that to fall back on you have the love and memories of your child and God bless you dr.
