Breathe a little easier

my understanding of life just got a cool new support system

"In 1995, 56-year-old Sonny Graham was dying of congestive heart failure and needed a heart.
Terry Cottle, a 33-year-old laborer from Summerville, SC, had just shot himself in the head.
Graham received Cottle's heart, recovered and eventually sought out Cottle's wife, Cheryl, to thank her for the gift of life.
From the moment Sonny Graham first laid eyes on Cheryl, he felt like he had known her for years.
"She gave me this big smile, and I couldn't keep my eyes off her," he told the Island Packet newspaper in December 2006.
Graham left his wife of 35 years and married Cheryl.
Then, last week, he shot himself in the head almost exactly as Terry Cottle had.
After receiving his donor's heart, friends and family say, Graham in some ways became him.
He married the same woman, started drinking the same beer - though he'd never been a beer drinker - and ended his life the same way."
