Life
is unpredictable. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to make things right,
God has other plans.
Becky
is a woman who tragically lost her son Tristan, who was just 19 years old at
the time he left this world. Her grief was immense. She couldn’t possibly
imagine her life without her child, but over time, her loved ones helped her
accept the reality and move on.
Around
two years after Tristan’s passing, Becky was about to marry the love of her
life, a man named Kelly.
On
the day of their wedding, the two decided to leave an empty seat in Tristan’s
honor with a heartwarming message written on it. “What should I do now that
I’ve arrived in heaven for your wedding? I will stoop to your level in order to
spend it with you. Please save me a seat, even if there is only one available
chair. Although you might not notice me, I shall be present.”
As
the ceremony proceeded, Kelly informed Becky that there was someone there who
wanted to see her. A young man who took Tristan’s chair. When she saw him,
Becky wasn’t mad. On the contrary, spotting the young man, she was overwhelmed
and couldn’t stop tears from rolling down her face.
That
man, Jacob, was the recipient of Tristan’s heart. Tristan was an organ donor,
and Jacob wasn’t the only person whose life he saved.
When
Kelly informed Jacob that he and Becky are getting married and invited him to
the ceremony, Jacob was more than willing to travel from San Diego in order to
attend it. It was a beautiful surprise that warmed Becky’s heart and made her
day. She felt like her son was present on her wedding day.
Becky
was then given a stethoscope so that she could hear her late son’s heartbeat.
It was an emotional moment no one could ever forget.
Someone
snapped photos of the beautiful surprise and shared it on Facebook. The story
went viral in a matter of days and many praised Kelly for his love for Becky.
Many
people took their time to comment, with one person writing: “Why is it that we
can’t just have one news channel that is dedicated to delivering uplifting and
motivational stories like this one? If only the goodness and thoughtfulness
that exists in the world were distributed more widely, it could inspire more of
the same.”

Love
and Peace!
