I can't believe it's been five years since my son has passed away. Every year since then on October 31 - the day of his passing, I've tried to make sense of it all, but to no avail. This year, my therapist gave me an assignment... instead of focusing on the pain and sadness of the tragedy, take a moment and think of a good memory of your son and allow that memory to get you through the sadness of that day. After Trevin's passing, my husband and I made the decision to donate our son's organs. Later on, we found out that @lifeallianceum was able to secure four of his organs for transplant: heart, kidney, pancreas, and his liver... This past April, as bittersweet as it was, we had the pleasure of meeting the man who now lives with our son's heart, Papa Don. Since meeting, we have developed an amazing bonding relationship, not just with him, but his family as well. No one will ever be able to take Trevin's place in my heart, but instead of focusing on his passing, I choose to focus on the lives he saved in his passing. Prayerfully, I will have the pleasure of meeting the recipients one day soon. I can't wait to visit my therapist later this week and share how this assignment has helped me to cope. One day at a time, one day at a time.ππΎ #AndtheBeatGoesOn πππππππππππππππππππππππ#DonateLife #OrganDonation #SaveLives #DonorFamilyRepresentative #TrevinReddick #ReneeJones #peace #DonorMom #DonorFamily #GiveLife #OrganDonor #Courage #Strength #Purpose #Donor #BecomeanOrganDonor #givingback #lifeallianceum
