Bef0re My Son Passed Away, He D0nated His Heart to an 18-Year-Old Girl – After the Transplant, Her Mother Handed Me a Letter from My Son

A year before Ethan died, he was perfectly healthy. Then he collapsed outside our kitchen.

Weeks later, a doctor diagnosed a rare progressive neurological disease.

I raised our son, Ethan, alone.

The doctor asked whether anyone in my family had died young.

“My brother,” I said. “But that was years ago. I don’t even know what he had.”

He made a note and kept talking.

“There has to be something,” I said.

“I wish there were.”
