I’m not leaving you alone. I refuse to. I’m leaving you a daughter with my heartbeat, and a friend who knows exactly what you’re going through, and a family to replace the one this disease is taking.
Take care of Lily for me. Let Diane take care of you. And press your ear to my daughter-in-law’s chest at my funeral and hear that I kept my promise: I found a way to stay.
I love you, Mom. Don’t be alone. That’s my real last wish. The heart was just how I made it come true.”
Chapter 4: The Two Mothers
I looked up from the letter, and Diane was still standing there, crying, and I understood that my son had reached out of his own death and handed me a family.
“He talked about you constantly,” Diane said. “On the days they were both down there. He wasn’t afraid of dying, your boy — he was afraid of what it would do to you. It was the only thing that scared him. And when he found out Lily needed a heart and his was healthy, he lit up. He said he’d finally figured out how to take care of you after he was gone.”
That is so beatiful and kind what he did before he became a angle
