they do an Honor Walk, during which hospital employees line the hallways as the loved one is walked to his or her surgery and the family prepares for their final good-bye.

To say it's moving is an understatement. I've watched several on youtube and it took care of my crying needs for a good while. it's intense, the grief, the pride, the hope for new life and health embodied in that child. This is so sad, but for others it's a chance to live. you know as you are grieving that elsewhere, families are rejoicing. and here we have it, the worst of humanity being outshined by the best of humanity.

Heartbreaking.

There are good people who are struggling against the evil encouraged and nurtured in this country.

that others may live. Compare that to the magat Crumbleys who don't give a shit about others. Don't even care enough to keep their own kid safe!

They take no responsibility for their actions or for anything. Very sick people. The contrast with the families of the victims makes it even more glaring. We also can't forget the victims who are so injured. I read that this boy aimed for their necks and faces.

The medical staff at the hospital gathered to honor the donation and issued a post-mortem certificate.
