Miracles.

Sometimes, the biggest miracles come in the smallest packages.

I recently read an article on Facebook, about a 7 year old boy who gave up his life to save three others. He was at a young age of only five when his parents discovered he had a malignant brain tumour. Shortly after that, his own mother contracted a kidney disease. Obstacles after obstacles kept arising and it seemed like their days of suffering were never going to end. However, they didn't give up hope as they battled side-by-side in the hospital, up until a certain day when the doctors declared that the son would eventually be blinded and paralyzed, while the mother can no longer sustain her life through dialysis alone. The son's days are numbered, but if he underwent a surgery to donate his organs, he would be able to save three valuable lives, including his mother. His mother blatantly refused the doctor's suggestion, because as long as her son was still alive, he deserved the chance to continue fighting for his life.

However, the son overheard talks about this matter, and in his pure little heart, he sincerely wanted to give up his life for his mother. He begged her to take his life. After a long debate, she finally agreed to it. Her only consolation was that as long as she was still alive, a small part of him would always remain within her. The son's sacrifice was deemed a huge success, because with his liver and both kidneys, he extended the lives of so many others.

This inspiring story relates to the quote above, because the son's heart was as big as his body was frail, that he took matters into his own hands and handed his shot in life to his mother. We often hear about parents' sacrifices, but with these stories circulating around, there is no doubt that even the smallest packages can pack a whole lot of miracles as well.
