the greatest sacrifice

Sierra sat there by the phone waiting for that dreaded phone call from the hospital.The phone began to ring,she picked it up before it even rang for a second time.”hello?” “hi is this mrs.cordelle?” “yes how’s my husband?”she asked nervously. “his kidneys are failing.” “well is that bad I mean you can live with only one right?” “yes with normal cases but your husband has a rare condition in which case both kidneys are failing,the only thing we can do is do a kidney transplant.” Sierra sat there silently then remembered I’ll do anything for you baby no matter what might happen she then knew what she had to do.”Give him one of mine.” “WHAT?!?!” the doctor shouted over the phone.”well you said a person can survive with only one kidney and my husbands’ are messed up,so give him one of mine.”the doctor took in a deep breath,”alright ma’am,but you better hope there’re no complications.”
