This Woman’s Son Died 3 Years Ago. But This Child Walks Towards Her With A Teddy Bear and Says Press The Play Button

Parents each and every day take a leap of faith, when leaving their children with a babysitter.  We check references and do everything possible to ensure that the person we are hiring is responsible.  Heather Clark did just that, when she left her 7-month-old son, Lukas, with a babysitter she had faith in.  Tragedy struck when Lukas was crying for a prolonged period of time; the babysitter’s boyfriend shook him so hard that he stopped breathing.  9-1-1 was called, little Lucas was taken to Montclair Hospital Medical Center, but then needed to be transferred to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital where he was declared brain dead.

The devastation Heather suffered was beyond imagination, but somehow in her unbearable grief she was able to make an incredibly selfless decision, to donate Lukas’ organs to other children.  Three children were the recipients of his organs, including one little girl who was born with congenital heart disease.  Jordan Drake had spent most of her young existence in the hospital, clinging to life with the hope of one day receiving a heart that would offer her a chance to grow up.

Lukas’ heart was a perfect match, which saved Jordan’s life.  The video you are about to watch below, occurs a few years after the transplant.

What you will witness is both heartbreaking and heartwarming, as little Jordan and her mother meet Heather for the first time.  Overcome with emotion, Heather takes a stethoscope and listens to Lukas’ heart beating in Jordan’s chest.  This was so overwhelmingly emotional, as was the gift they gave to this wonderful mother, who so selflessly wanted to turn her tragedy into a chance to save other children; it gave her solace to know that she might be sparing other parents the unbearable suffering of losing a child.  They had a Build-A-Bear made with a recording of Lukas’ heartbeat contained inside of it, for Heather to keep forever.  Watching these generous and loving human beings, will truly restore your faith, that there is so much goodness still out there in this world.
