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”
Then discovered she was pregnant.
She chose to raise Maya.
Accepted support Richard legally and morally owed his child.
She did not demand he abandon us.
She also did not tell me.
That was a decision.
I wish she had chosen differently.
She wishes so too.
