When Ryan Jessen, aged 33, died suddenly due to a brain hemorrhage, the response from the hospital staff was not what anyone expected.
We were treated with great kindness by the hospital staff, who even permitted us to bring my sibling’s furry friend to bid farewell to her owner, so she could understand why he didn’t return home. Ryan’s sister Michelle shared on social media, “Anyone acquainted with my brother would know how much he adored his precious dog.”
The video of Ryan and his beloved dog Molly was meant to be a private moment for their family, but unexpectedly, it gained worldwide attention.
According to Michelle’s blog post, the stories of others, their empathy towards our suffering, and the generosity of many individuals have had a significant impact on us, leaving us feeling deeply grateful and humbled.
Ryan’s sister assured that Molly, the sorrowful pup, is being taken care of well. The family has taken her in and considers her as part of their own. Meanwhile, there’s a glimmer of hope this holiday season as Ryan’s donated heart may give a 17-year-old girl, named Michelle, a new lease on life.
