We tend to take the small things in life for granted, but this teenager’s gratitude will make you rethink life.
Trevor Sullivan is a 15-year-old from Detroit who was diagnosed with severe cardiomyopathy last February. He waited eight long months to receive a heart donation, an operation that would save his life.
And when he finally received the life-saving heart, his first words after surgery will bring you to tears. The boys father, Philip Sullivan captured the heartbreaking moment as he arose from his drug-induced slumber.
“I’m so happy. I’ve been waiting so long. I can breathe again… and talk,” the grateful teenager gasped.
