A True Love

The story....the love of a boy for a girl. The stars....Randall and Tasha. Randall is my son. Tasha is his exgirlfriend at the time. Lets begin shall we.

It was a day unlike any other day in April of 1998. I recieved a call telling me that Tasha had been involved in a car wreck and was in critical condition. She had suffered a head injury, was hemorraging from the brain and the next 24 hrs were crucial. I walked into my son's room that night after work finding him down on his knees crying like a baby and begging God to let him change places with her! She pulled through the night but the boy with her driving the car wasn't so lucky and died that same night.

My son was always an affectionate boy but became even more affectionate. He visited friends and family he hadn't seen in ages. I found out later that he told his friends what songs and what clothes he wanted should anything happen to him....death.

Two months to the day of Tasha's accident my son was a passenger in a car that was involved in a car crash with one fatality....him. He was flown to the same hospital, put in the same ICU bed, and had the same head injuries as had Tasha. He fought for 10 hrs to stabalize enough for us to see him then he was gone two hours later. It was like he held on just so that we could say goodbye one last time!

I believed God answered his prayers that night as he knelt on the floor pleading for Tasha's life. The similarities are too great! Also, Randall was an organ donor and all of the donor receipiants were released from the hospitals one week after the transplants. Not one rejection! A miracle as if it was meant to be.

The love he felt for her was immense. The type of love where you are willing to give your life for....true love! Although it has a sad ending nontheless it fills my heart with hope that I too can have that kind of love....that it still exists today!
