Sunday's TV Makeover show

[Guest guest]

Did anyone see last night’s Extreme Makeover

Home Edition? The

homeowner had lost her son in a car accident (He at the tender age of 16 had

signed his card to became an organ donor).

It was a wonderful show!

They asked the workers (looked like several hundred people) who had an

organ donor card – then proceeded to sign up everyone who didn’t

have one. I held my breath, but

they did say – now go home and tell your family about your decision. The homeowner also got a chance to meet

the recipient of her son’s heart – it tore TJ & I up. It was so unbelievably

moving! The donor mom and the

parents of the girl who received the heart, were so in

tuned with each other. Each knew

exactly what the other felt, what each tear drop meant, and so too any viewer

who was involved with organ transplants in any way. It turned out that the recipient of the

boys heart was an artist (she made a painting for the new house – that tore

us up too!) What really hit home

was the donor’s sister who said (after meeting the recipient) “now

I know why my brother died, so she could live!”

It was, by far, the best thing TJ & I have ever

seen promoting organ donation. It

made you want to jump right up and run to your computer for an organ donor

card. No bones about it, after seeing this show

you knew exactly what “Giving The Gift of Life”

meant.

Oh yes, , and I all watched it last night. And we all cried. It was a GREAT promotion of organ donation. It was a very touching show, and I do hope it reached those that are on the threshold of signing up. It certainly showed the love and life that can be brought through donation.
