The mother is tiny, less than five feet. The three of them -- my aunt, the man, the mother of his heart -- spend time together frequently. My aunt says that when they meet, the mother -- whose ear is chest high to the man -- always leans to him, wraps her arms around him, ear to his chest, to hear the sounds of her son's heart, beating inside the man and giving him life.</I><BR/><BR/>You've painted a beautiful portrait with your words.<BR/><BR/>Meantime, here's a favorite song: <B><A HREF="http://thefifthbody.homestead.com/awakening_by_the_gate_of_sorrow.html" REL="nofollow">Of Mothers and The Heart's Song</A></B>.Spiritual Emergencyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283478682307609903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1156612783099736482006-08-26T10:19:00.000-07:002006-08-26T10:19:00.000-07:00That was amazingly touching.

I was so taken with her and the fact that she was this countries first successful heart and lung transplant patient. <BR/><BR/>I have so much interest in this area. I have written about her and Dr Reitz on my blog. I was to meet with her in Columbus Ohio in 1986. She passed away 5 years after her surgery, just a few months before I would have met her.<BR/><BR/>Organ transplantation is one of the greatest wonders of medicine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1156557902920941672006-08-25T19:05:00.000-07:002006-08-25T19:05:00.000-07:00this is how all transplant stories should be...this is how all transplant stories should be...Intelinursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609767439508682181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1156556461593015632006-08-25T18:41:00.000-07:002006-08-25T18:41:00.000-07:00Wow, Doc, that was beautiful.
