Years ago my Dad had the option to get pig heart valve or a mechanical heart valve for a replacement... he chose the pig valve and told the cariac surgeon he always preferred bacon. Pigs are very beneficial to medical science... more than we realize.❤

That is hardcore sacrifice on behalf of "Moe's" family and, if he could know, his selflessness must land him in good stead with his Creator. Thank you Moe.
