Taylor's Gift!!!!

So today watching the Ellen Show.  There was a story on there that touched my heart.  It was about a girl that was thirteen years old and on Spring Break last year she passed in a skiing accident.  Her mother was on the show talking about how they donated her organs and how they have met 3 out of 5 recipients.  I was very moved by this story because this thirteen year old made a decision so young in life that got me thinking.  Yes I agree to being an organ donor when I go to the DMV and get a new drivers license each time.  But the mother was saying just because you agree to that does not mean that you will be an organ donor.  There is a website www.taylorsgift.org.  You than register with the state you live in to become a national organ donor and than it is on record that you can choose whether or not your organs go to a donor or research.  I am happy to say that I am now a national organ donor.  I choose the one that is a organ donor and whatever doesn't not match the people will go to research.  Now I am 34 years old and just now becoming a donor I believe there was a reason for me to turn on the TV this morning and hear this young girls story.  She is a true hero.  She saved a man's life that had been on dailies for 40 years by giving her kidney to him.  I truly think everyone has a purpose in life.  Yes, she was way too young to loose her life, but at least this young girl expressed her opinion to help others to her parents.  My heart goes out to her family and think they are just wonderful kind people.  They know some where in the world there daughter lives on.
