My Husband\u2019s Final Wish Was to Donate His Organs \u2014 Then His Doctor Gave Me a Secret Envelope<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark and I had finally become pregnant after years of trying when doctors told us he had only months to live.<\/p>\n

One night, with his hand on my belly, he said, \u201cIf I can’t be here for our daughter, I want to help another family have more time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Mark died, I signed the papers honoring his final wish.<\/p>\n

Just as I was leaving, his doctor stopped me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark left something for you. He made me promise not to give it to you until he was gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside was a flash drive and a note:<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch this if someone makes you doubt me \u2014 or yourself.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mother-in-law had been telling everyone Mark wasn’t in the right state of mind when he made the decision.<\/p>\n

So I watched the video.<\/p>\n

Mark appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonation was my choice,\u201d he said. \u201cDon’t make Sally prove she loved me by agreeing with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he added:<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t put our daughter in the middle. She’s not something I left behind. She gets to become herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

I burst into tears.<\/p>\n

Mark hadn’t left me one final goodbye.<\/p>\n

He had left me the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
