Question Of The Week: "What is the greatest gift you have ever given or could give
Today I am writing about what would be the greatest gift to give someone. I normally write more educational posts, to help children do maths the right way. There are so many children today who just use calculators because it is just so much easier, but without the basics, they will definitely become lost along the way.
I honestly love helping children. Children are the greatest gift to all of us, we bring them into this world and promise to love and teach them to the best of our ability. This is the reason why I love helping children. I try to keep that promise.
But there are so many other ways to help people in life. We can support people in so many ways without them even knowing it.
We could teach them how to look after themselves. We could teach someone without them even knowing about it.
We could help people financially by staying anonymous but we can also teach them how to better themselves.
I am now not talking about helping people build, or teaching them how to make power or good vegetable gardens. By anonymously I mean money wise.
But the best gift you can give anyone is life.
I am asking please give your organs to someone to stay alive.
This does not mean you have to be at the end of your life. It could be a kidney or bone marrow to help them over an illness.
This could also be done anonymously if in your power. But if we all sign a organ donor card for after our passing we will never know how many we might have helped, to me that really is the greatest gift you can give someone.
You might not know what this meant to them but that is actually the point. It is also very important to let your family know what you are doing, as your passing might be a shock to them;
1. They must know that this is your last wish.
2. Discuss this with them so that they understand why you are doing this.
3. Tell them how happy this gift will make you.
There are so many ways to help people but my greatest gift would be to help a family who might need an organ. It might even be for a mother, who has kids that need her, or a child. It can be one of the most difficult things to overcome in life is losing a child. If by donating an organ can save that child it would be the best gift ever.
Thank you so much.
Great thoughts, dear Ursula! As you wrote, we can support people in so many ways and life is the best gift that we can give to someone. In my family, we talked about it many times and every member expressed the same thought : to donate organs at the end of our life is the best thing to give hope to other people in needed.
Thank you so much silvia, you are also such a lovely person. Money I do not have to give but love and compassion cost nothing.
Thirty years ago friends had moved to yonder shores, taking their beloved down syndrome child to protect him better in older age to a country that cared for special people.
Alas within the first few years he ran out into a village street, not a busy place. But as accidents happen, a car struck the child and he did not recover.
The parents decided there and then his life would not be in vain, the little he had spent with them, and donated organs immediately once they were fully aware of the gravity of the situation.
Even whilst in deep shock, not having come to grips with their loss the organ donations went through.
Four other children, recipients of the organs went on to live full and happy lives, yes the Doctors in the country they adopted did keep them informed, since the gift they had given was so large.
Lessons in life @bigbear we learn every day, loss of a child is something we never anticipate, giving is a gift no matter the age.
Bitter, sweet memories of little Keith a very special child, who would have been 33 years of age right now.
Thank you so much joanstewart, this really warms my heart as it is so sad to loose a child. It was very kind of them to donate and the doctors were very kind to them, must have made them feel that they really helped. Love your reply and thanks for your support.

Yes you are right. Children are our future. Your post reminded me of a quote I had heard " Give a man a fish and he will eat for that day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat everyday"
Thank you for your comment it is very true. But to me it is important never to let anybody feel they are not good enough, we are all alike.
