What got me the most was the moment he listened to the heart of his beloved husband ... without his husband 😢

For some of us, this is reality. I lost my beautiful charming, kind and smart boyfriend 28 months ago. Missing is a way of living.
Words cannot explain.
My heart aches.
And I can still hear him but it gets so lonely sometimes.
Thank you so much for this wonderful, beautiful, one the best short films and close to my heart I ve ever seen. ❤

A young friend received a heart and wanted to meet the donor's survivors. Their only child passed from a brain aneurysm, and their child's heart saved his life. So, he adopted the donor's parents and they are now a part of his life. His close acquaintances tell how much he changed after receiving the new heart.

Great story and enactment. The lead is really cute and the “mother” very dignified. Thanks.

"But Todd showed us that the heart CAN keep going..."

[pdill]

it's so super beautiful, love does not distinguish whether one is this or that / it's simple love which encompasses everything in our universe, which is THE expression of PURE LOVE !!!

This little Story is HUGE on so many levels, having said all that I guess it's ok to weep, so I did, openly ❤

[gemmawilkinson]
