Elijah's Heart Recipient

So today marks 4 months since the loss of my Elijah...I feel him everywhere... I get daily reminders of him... I understand about staying strong... the fact I get out of bed everyday shows you that I am strong enough to survive this.... my spiritual self understands it but my human self doesn't want to.... HIS LAUGH... HIS SMELL.... HIS VOICE.... ohhh I miss sooo much.... A few weeks ago we had the beautiful opportunity to meet the man who received Elijah's heart... Ef Ramirez was kind enough to welcome us into his home and spend time with him... it was so moving and sooo beautiful to see what organ donation can do and how it truly changes lives! there were 10 of us so I thanked BERT for allowing Elijah's tribe into his life.

I am so sorry for the loss of Elijah. As someone who has a Heart Condition called HCM, thank you for your selfless acts. If I was in that Gentleman's shoes I'd only hope someone as kind as you would there is "Hope", wrong word, and help others in such a terrible time. Hope you are doing well .

[@moderndaymedusa82]

Why on earth did I click on this?!? I started bawling as soon as the video started. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine that kind of pain but I'm grateful that Mr. Ramirez was so kind and let you have that moment. Thank you for sharing that with us as well.

[@jessicaowens8670]

Oh my, the emotions you feel must be overwhelming. Thinking of you and your family!

[@michelley210]

Oh, Amber! I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I know a girl who received a heart 22 days ago. She counts every day with her new heart. What a blessing to know his heart still beats and saved someone's life. I'll be praying for strength for you and your family.

[@jennyscearspa6935]

Oh Amber this fills my heart and my eyes. My brother passed from a motorcycle accident almost 4 years ago and he was a donor. I would love to meet the people he gave a 2nd life to.

[@KatesAdventures]

This is such a beautiful video, how wonderful that Elijah has been able to continue his generosity even after passing. Sending my love to you all xx

Oh wow, I had no idea. I'm so, so sorry. I'm not good with words and I know nothing I say will make it hurt any less but I feel for you and I hope you're surrounded by love and support.
