Some love stories unfold in strange ways, and Brooklyn Dotson can certainly attest to that. When Brooklyn was just a baby, in 2003, she was diagnosed with a rare liver condition and doctors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital told her mother that she didn't have too much time. Hope arrived with a family that had lost their 10-year-old boy, Michael Waters to a car accident. Michael was always passionate about organ donations. To honor his last wish, the family had decided to donate his organs. While the limbs, heart, eyes, lungs, and kidneys went to assorted recipients, the liver went to Brooklyn. Are you a registered organ donor?

Not only did Michael's liver save Brooklyn, the two families' connection resulted in a friendship between Brooklyn and Noah, Michael's grieving younger brother. Over the years, this friendship turned into something much more intense. They started dating, eventually got engaged, and are getting married this September. For Brooklyn, planning a wedding is even more special because growing up wasn't guaranteed. She's able to walk down the aisle at 24 years old because of a liver transplant she received as a baby -- and marrying the brother of that donor is just the fairy tale ending to the story. Do you find this incredibly touching?

According to Donate Life America, more than 23,000 people donate organs in a year, but only 50% of organs are donated to strangers. The rest donate to family members or close friends, according to the National Survey of Organ Donation Attitudes and Practices Report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. There is no account of how many individuals find their soulmate during these donor interactions, but the majority of families continue to remain in contact with their donors via exchange of anonymous letters or face-to-face meetings. Do you know anyone (or maybe yourself) who had an organ donation and kept in touch with the family or donor?
