This is so touching. She's got a connection to her son through the man that received his heart, and what's more is the man who received her son's heart is willing to be part of her life. There is no better gift to a mother who had no choice but to bury her child...what an amazing, inspiring and touching story.

This husband is the best guy in the world, hands down!!! This lovely wife won the lottery!!!
Absolutely!
What a sweet man. Definitely the best gift he gave to his wife.
Talk about the ultimate present for his wife. Blows any ring he could give her out of the water.
the recipient looks like her son !God bless them !!
What a nice recipient, the family must be so pleased that their son's heart went to such a worthy person.
Im so happy that after giving so much love this brave woman found someone who really loves her, she deserves it so much!
OMG this made me cry. how sweet.
Such a beautiful story...!!! I can only imagine being able to listen to her son's heart still beating...!!
That is one hell of a gift
What a gorgeous family to think of another person after tragedy, now you can enjoy adding to your family a beautiful man. Thank you for reminding me there are wonderful people in this world that give us a warm feeling in our bodies after reading your story.
I always say organ donation is the most selfless, most beautiful and rewarding act a person can do. Knowing that if a loved one passes, parts of them will help so many to keep going! I’m an organ donor myself. And I can only hope that when my moment comes, I can help as many people as possible to continue their journey with a little bit of me in them. Life is precious. And helping others to live theirs thru organ donation is the most precious gift in the world.
What an awesome husband!
This is the best surprise from the groom to his wife. For me, the very best moment is when she used the stethoscope and tried to listen to her son's heart was the very emotional and incredible part.
I know the bride will surely feel that her son is presently attending on her wedding day and it was so amazing.
How terribly special to hear the heart of my child still beating and giving life! That heart, that I built specially for him, but could go on to give life to another woman's child. How I wish that could have happened for me, but my child died of a condition that was too rare and little understood to risk donating organs. May blessings fall in armfulls on those who make the choice to give life in the face of tragedy.
I've been crying so hard! Tears of joy for them!
It's really great to see humanity at its finest, what a special gift, this man clearly has a special gift of thinking about his wifes needs to the highest degree, magnificent
So beautiful! Bless these wonderful people and Tristan who helped this wonderful man, and mostly saved his life!
What an amazing husband! Every woman's dream. And I am sure this bride was blessed! LOVES!
jacob, godbleess you ,may your new heart beat for EVER,
Such a moving story of loss and the ability to honor that loss while celebrating life. This story though sad that it may be, is still so filled with love, hope and inspiration.
That's such an awesome story. I'm so glad that something so horribly tragic could turn into something so wonderful.
That is such a blessing!!! I am speechless!!!
There's stories such as these that make me believe there is still good in the world. ❤
Thank You Jacob For Going To Her Wedding. I Am Glad You Are Feeling Better. I Am So Glad You All Were Able To Be Together. God Bless You All. 😇
A very touching and beautiful gesture from the husband.
Jacob, May Tristan live on in you Forever. May you always live a healthy and glorious life young man. Rebecca what a wonderful and giving mom you are, I am sure Tristan is with you every day. God Bless your marriage...It would be a great world if Everyone donated their organs. Not sure why people don;t?
Thank you for giving your wife the greatest gift
becky, I notice you were smiling ear-to-ear in this vid. I am sure you can't really convey what u are feeling. after the loss of a child and then another fine young boy has your baby's heart. I don't think a lot of people who lost their child has this opportunity. i really do luv your "uncontrollable" grin. and that u automatically luv this boy.....and that he loves you! you and him are the best! luv u for loving him and your son!
Man!!!! How moving!! I just couldn't stand or bear it. I have one son and he's my treasure from God. Lovely story. Thank you for sharing! Also congratulations on wedding. 🌺🌼🌻🌷🌸🌹
wow they all seem like really good people. Amazing.
May all three of you be blessed & blessed & blessed....
I cant even relay this story to someone without crying!
Wow. Beautiful gift on both sides. I couldn’t imagine the loss Then to gain xx
They should record the heart beat for the mother and sister to be able to play it whenever they need or want toooo
Great job and congratulations. Stay blessed.

It tears me up just knowing how broken this woman must have been. Then gets to know part of her son still lives on!!? 😢
I am waiting for a liver transplant. My entire family are organ donors but they don’t match me. It’s time for everyone to become donors. So many people can be helped and saved.

Год не може да буде свуда, али зато он има своје анђеле на Земљи. Нека Бог благослови све Вас,
добри људи. Љубав из Србије.

Hell Yeah when my husband was 10 year's old he needed a new heart. Cause his heart was failing and doctor's don't know what caused it. And he was at school when they found a heart for him. And he had to quickly get to the hospital. They performed the surgery and he had to stay in the intensive care unit. He was happy waking up. Had to do test's like running exercise. And he was able to go home after a week. And everybody was happy seeing him go back to school. He's 39 year's old and is doing excellent. Never had no issue's with his heart. The person who donated there heart was a 5 year old girl who was killed by a drunk driver. Jesse reached out to the mother who was very happy hearing he received her daughter's heart. And she wished so could met him. And Jesse and his Aunt drove up there and met the mother. And she explained what happened and Jesse and his Aunt was shocked. The suspect was sentenced to life without parole but took his life. Jesse said it has been hell for him due to losing his Grandparents by a drunk driver. And then a week after that both his dad and his godfather was killed by a drunk driver. And then Jesse dealing with his heart issue's. The lady was like shocked and was happy that Jesse's is doing good. And begged him to stay in school don't quit. And he graduated and she was standing next to his Aunt while he walked to receive his diploma. The lady was about to get married but the accident happened. And she never did but she did a year later. And Jesse surprised her by being the flower boy (Cause her daughter was supposed to be the flower girl) She was happy watching Jesse walk down the isle throwing flowers. She ran up to Jesse and was crying and she grabbed him and hugged him. And Jesse hugged her back. And people was like ??? And she grab the mic and stated that Jesse received Nicole's heart. And she said other thing's. When Jesse was older to get a tattoo. He got the tattoo of Nicole tattooed on his chest above the heart. And it say's the date she was born and the date she died. Jesse tells everybody that's his 2nd birthday. Cause he was born again with her heart. The mother had another baby and she named it Jesse and Jesse's the godfather. And the girl is old enough to understand she had a older sister and she passed away and Jesse has her heart.
I cried watching this.

Sure it can happen. The family that donated the heart was in Alaska according to the video.

God had the perfect plan.
Thank God
Yes , God is so Good! In good and bad times, his love for us shines through. Thank you Lord💖
Look at the way she has her hand on his knee. What would that mean if she cheats on her husband with him? ....You know those Canadians.
She's thinking of her child that has passed on. That was a disrespectful thing to say. She missed her son. Lord please uncover a blind mans eye.
WOW TURIN
I know, Right? She's a perv.
When you donate a loved ones heart you're not suppose to stalk the recipient.
Diamond King
He didn't "stalk" him....He approached his aunt to see if she thought he would be receptive to the idea. (being as she knew him better than they do)
She thought he would be game so suggested it to him.
If she didn't think it was a good idea, he would have never heard word one about it....
He was never stalked or pressured. This is his SECOND transplant....a THIRD chance at life! It is an incredible gift he received, especially in his young life.
Stop being so cynical.
Dude.....really? You're better than that.
Diamond King no! can't you see the joy in her ? part of her son lives. she must have loved him so much and to know and give someone else the opportunity to live when her son couldn't is tuff.
Come on if you listened to the whole story he far from stalked him.
WOW DIAMOND KING
