The name on the plaque was Nathan
Gremmo. Nathan was only thirteen years old when he was critically
injured as he was crossing a busy city street. The next day Nathan’s
family made the emotional and difficult decision to say goodbye to
Nathan and donate his organs. This decision made a positive impact on
the lives of six people who were waiting for organ transplants.
Now
for the saying on the plaque. You might have heard it before but it
obviously meant something to Nathan, who had posted it on his Instagram
page not long before the accident:
”You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
While
I hope not to encounter the kind of heartache and tragic circumstances
faced by the Gremmo family, I do hope to make choices and decisions that
will have a positive impact on others. I would like my life to make a
difference.
The picture below shows the rocks and waves where I sat and thought about Nathan and the Gremmo family.
