Before My 19-Year-Old Son Died, He Donated His Heart to an 18-Year-Old Girl—Then Her Mother Handed Me a Letter: “Mom, There’s Something You Need to Know About Her”

I had needed years to learn that sentence.
Now I could give it away.

Two mothers connected by one man’s betrayal and two children.
Too cinematic.
