Life is Short

Scott and Gabe had been snowbaording all morning. Scott was too hungry to take another run, so he decided to eat something at the lodge. Scott finished his lunch and he headed back out. On the lift he saw a big crowd, he was curious and went to check what had happen. Suddenly he saw gabe motionless, one of Gabe friend said that he had collided with a skier at full speed and the back of his head had landed on a patch of ice, the skier then disspeared, leaving Gabe on the ground. The next day, Scott went to vist Gabe. The doctor said that Gabe was brain-dead. They would be taking him off life support, and he would be officially dead within ten minutes. Just a few months prior to his accident, he told a family member that he would want all of his organs to be donated. Gabe not only still lives in the memories of his family and friends, he lives on the hearts of lives of fifty other people who are now alive and healthy because of him.
