Gift of Humanity

The death of a love one can be a very traumatic experience for some of us. Especially if their demise was sudden or unexpected. Many of us would be haunted by memories of our dearly departed love ones. Articles in our home & just about any little thing triggers flash backs of happy moments we shared with them while they were yet alive.It is therefore very inspiring when we read about family members who are strong enough to rise above their sorrow & actually contribute to the needs of society despite their loss. Several instances which were reported in the news where the parents of children who had been declared clinically brain-dead making organ donations to the medical field. Their selflessness has thus resulted in lives being saved as the organs are transplanted into the bodies of severely ill patients. Their courage & sheer determination to rise above their sorrow has given many ailing patients a new breath of life.Even in the face of death, these admirable citizens have managed to make a priceless difference in the lives of others. Their generous gift has renewed our faith in the goodness of humanity. Even though they may no longer walk among us who are alive, they leave an enduring memory in the lives of those that they have saved & touched, in so many ways.Hey,i'm proud to say that i'm one of them that donated every single body parts of mine.My dad did the same humanity gift. A friend of mine once said that it is not the dead who suffer, but those who live to moan their death who do. However, I am certain, that even in these darkest hours, the comfort of knowing that their deaths have not been in vain will lessen the pain endured by those who survive them.GOT IT!
