When Brooklyn Dotson was just a few months old, doctors told her family that she had only three days to live. But a liver became available just in time, giving her a second chance at life. The donor was Michael Waters, a ten-year-old boy who had tragically died after being hit by a car. His family honored his wish to be an organ donor, and his liver saved Brooklyn’s life. Years later, Brooklyn became friends with Michael’s younger brother, Noah. That friendship eventually became love, and now, 23 years after Michael’s gift gave her life, Brooklyn and Noah are getting married. Brooklyn says she gets to enjoy life because of Michael and hopes to honor his memory by living it fully.
