Those lucky enough to become parents love, cherish and protect their children. Most parents would do anything to keep their children from feeling pain. One young woman turned the tables and showed how far she was willing to go to keep her dad safe.
Going to the doctor, undergoing medical exams and hearing awful, unwanted news from a medical professional can be devastating. One father was in a similar scary medical situation, according to one post on Instagram.
The post reads that the man was experiencing kidney failure. Just 4% of his kidneys were properly functioning. This situation was dire; he was in desperate need of a new kidney. But, as the post mentions, his daughter, who turned out to be a match, stepped up and offered to give up one of her kidneys.
The video shows the touching moments when he learned that his daughter was the mystery donor who saved his life!
The video begins with the young woman, dressed in a hospital gown, entering the room where her father is recovering. He is stunned at the revelation.
“Oh my God, are you kidding me?” He says as she enters the room.
Dad is unable to say anything else as he’s overcome with emotion.
The young woman, as she approaches her father, can be heard reassuring him.
“It’s so good,” she says. “It’s OK. It’s OK. Oh, it’s fine.”
The post mentions the young woman kept that she was a match and had decided to donate a kidney a secret from him for eight months!
What a beautiful video that displays a child's love for her father!
Normally, a parent fixes the situation, but it was the daughter who stepped up and acted in love. She literally gave up a part of herself so that her dad could go on living.
