12/07/19 Weekend Grif.Net - That is Love
Robert Griffin
A little girl suffered from a serious disease. The only chance for her recovery was a blood transfusion from her five-year-old brother, since he had experienced the same disease and had miraculously recovered. Thus he had the needed antibodies to struggle with this illness.
So the doctor solemnly told the situation to the boy and asked him if he was willing to give his blood to his sister.
Hesitating only for a moment, the little boy took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I will do this, if it will save her life“.
During the transfusion his sister was lying in bed next to him. The boy looked at her and smiled, but gradually his face became pale and his smile faded.
Watching his blood flow down the tube to his sister’s arm, he asked the doctor with a trembling voice: “Will I start to die right now?”
That is love.
