I had two.
He got one.
From me.
This photo was from 2 years ago today
And we were celebrating life
We had recovered from the kidney transplant from four months prior
And in his words, “he felt incredible”
Jason was a husband, father, son, friend & uncle
He was grateful for EVERY day
And had an amazing outlook on life
Then tragedy struck four months later
I received a call. Jason was gone.
A heart attack took him from us
I was in disbelief!
It made no sense
We had just spent the day with he and his wife
I reflected - some kind of hard
I was grateful for him
He added value to me and my family
We gained an extended family
We gained friendships
And I truly believe that our paths crossed for a reason
I will never understand why I did what I did
But it felt right and I never had any doubts
While my scars remind me of all that he was and still is to me
Jason will forever be etched in my heart
Someone said that today is “Giving Tuesday”
And my thoughts wondered and
I can say
When I planned on giving Jason a kidney
Turns out
He gave me so much more than I gave him
But
It all started with opening my heart to giving to someone in need
