Hollow Victory
I've wept with my beloved
As my son dies
After withdrawal of life support
A moan
The last sound from his lips
Knowing
His sacrifice
Renewed life
For five others

Very emotional poem, expressed in a way that made me the ice queen tear up.
One of the best people I know was saved when someone else passed, he is
grateful every single day and lives an exceptional life.

Tallen won't mind me telling you he can relate to this very deeply too. Losing a child is probably the most psychologically damaging experience to go through.
Man, you have no fear in where you will go. That takes courage. You're an amazingly insightful man.
