A Kind Unselfish Heart

by Kay Heitsch

Our son Todd died suddenly in a car accident at the age of 16. Todd had been a cross country runner in high school. Todd and Andrew were teammates.

On the day of Todd's calling hours, Andrew came to show his respects. My eyes filled with tears when I saw Andrew placed some of his cross country medals in the casket with Todd. I walked over and asked Andrew why he was putting these medals in the coffin. Andrew explained that he would win more awards in the years to come, and he knew that Todd couldn't.

I will never forget this unselfish act of kindness and Andrew's generous heart.
