I am beautiful places, quiet
places, happyness

I like walks on the beach and sunsets

Peace to others and kindness to others

I find satisfaction when others are kind to each other

I can be fearsome when I am going to get grounded

I thrive for peace over the earth

I love the sky and its beautiful clouds

I will always be around to help with any problems

I don't appreciate all the killing and the fighting

This is me. I am !

My son, 17, wrote this poem about two months before his death. He was a wonderful, caring person, so full of life. It seemed right to my husband and I that he would have wanted to continue to help others. That is why he became a donor. Knowing that he has helped others has been a comfort to us as we grieve his loss.
