Organ donation week
Back on mother's day this year
I sat with my sister signing over my mum's organs itemised ( yep it's that brutal no one warns you)
Happy mother's day right !
That day whilst we were broken three women who were also mums and grandmas got their lives back.
I'll probably never know who those ladies are, I'll never know what else mum was able to help with because in her words waste not want not.
Organ donation is at an all time low
So I'm not asking as a recipient of a life saving surgery
I'm asking as a daughter who lost her mum but knows in that horrific moment on a day that should have been all about her we were able to help others.
Sign up, tell your family what you want, be clear
If you had asked me even on the 3rd of march what I was planning on mother's day I wouldn't have had the slightest clue what the next 12 days would have in-store
