Later that year, a donation coordinator called to ask whether we would like to receive an update about Hannah’s gifts.

I sat with Kenneth on the living room couch while the coordinator explained what could be shared and what would remain confidential.

We learned that Hannah’s decision had helped other people.

I listened carefully, writing down what I could, knowing that the families involved had their own right to privacy.

When the call ended, Kenneth asked, “How do you feel?”
