Is that what was going on? I just thought ragweed pollen was bad this weekend.




Great story. When the Auburn family bought their boy the "My heart bleeds people and gold" shirt, I teared up.

here were major complications almost immediately. Davis' artificial heart stopped beating, and the parents were once again told to prepare for the worst.

But just as his doctors and his family had never given up, Davis didn't either. His tiny body finally accepted the artificial heart.

Now the Boswells had to endure another hard chapter in Davis' life. The waiting game.

They would wait 115 days for a match. Fall came and went. Amanda even dressed little Davis as the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. If he only had a heart.

I held it together until the end when they showed The Perrys listening to their son's heart in another boy's chest.

I hope more people are encouraged to donate their organs after watching that. Especially in this type of situation.

After losing a child, I would think that knowing your child is still living in other children and their loss means other lives were saved would be of some comfort.

And as much as we like to hate on Facebook, it's stories like this that show how impactful it can be. 15 years ago these two families may have never known of each other but all it took was one mutual friend to connect the dots.

A happy and sad story all in one.
