The BOND of TWO FAMILIES through DONATION. The Perry’s (John Clarke- Donor Family) and The Boswell’s (Davis- Heart Recipient Family) recently went to the beach together and what an amazing time it was. Davis received the heart of John Clarke in 2015 and their families have become close during that time. This was what Donor Mom, Holley, shared with us. “The main thing is the bond we have. It’s so natural, not forced, we just click! And Davis, it’s like he “knows” us! He’s only seen Jonathan, my father in law and me 3 times since he was 10 months old and he came right to us and isn’t stand-off in the least. Many people said they knew it would be hard for us and sad but it was far from sad and not hard at all! Never once did I ever wish it was John Clarke at the beach with us instead of Davis or have any resentment. We love the Boswells and are very thankful God has allowed us to meet them and share this very rare, but special, bond.” #donatelife
