Time To Take Control

Donating an organ, or more then just one; sounds sort of scary. All those people who are waiting on the list reminds you that it could happen to anyone. Maybe you are planning on donating an organ, or maybe you are the one waiting for the organ. Someday it will be your turn to create a miracle. Just think that when you die, whenever that may be, you gave someone permission to use your organs to help someone else live their life to the fullest. Someday it will be my time to go also, and when I do I want them to use every part of my body they can. They can use my eyes and give then to someone who has never seen their loved ones. They can use my heart, and give it to someone who will benefit from it and be as loving as I was. They can use my brain to help someone who’s brain is disfunctional. They can use my kidneys, or my lungs and give them to someone that needs them, while they are laying in that hospital bed, being kept alive by machines. Every bit of me should be used so that people can live their lifes the way I have lived mine. They could use you too, they could use your eyes, heart, brain, kidneys, and lungs to help out someone else. It doenst have to be now, but it could be later, if you let it. Sign your donor card, and better yet talk to your family let them know what you want done with your body when your time is up. Help create a miracle, help create happiness, and most importantly help bring back living and save someone’s life.
