13 year old Taylor Paige Storch died in a skiing accident. However through the gift of organ donation she saved five lives.
In a poem she wrote a week before her death she said, “I see myself helping people in every way I can.” and also, “I dream about being a teacher.” Her words proved prophetic. She did help people and through her actions she is also a teacher for all of us.
In the same poem she mused, “I wonder how long is forever?” Though we all know that we are mortals we somehow manage to delude ourselves with the notion that we are always going to wake up in the morning to live another day. For many of us a day will dawn when we will find ourselves waiting in line for an organ. For others a day will dawn that will bring a sudden and swift end to our lives story. Now through the miracle of technology our lives story can continue when we choose to be organ donors. We can help those who wait in line for orans so that their tomorrows have a story to tell.
