2003年,肯塔基州18個月大女嬰布魯克林因罕見疾病需肝移植;同時俄亥俄州10歲男童麥可車禍身亡,其家人依其生前願望捐出肝臟。
美國23年前的一場致命車禍,意外將兩個陌生家庭串起,多年後更譜出意想不到的愛情故事。2003年一名10歲男童遭遇車禍不幸身亡,父母依他生前心願捐出器官,其中肝臟成功救活一名18個月大女嬰,沒想到23年過去,當年獲救的女嬰不僅健康長大,更與救命恩人的親弟弟相戀,最終決定攜手走入婚姻。
綜合外媒報導,2003年時,來自美國肯塔基州,18個月大的女嬰布魯克林(Brooklyn Dotson),因罹患罕見疾病「α-1抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症」,健康狀況不斷惡化,必須盡快接受肝臟移植,才能保住性命。同時住在俄亥俄州只有10歲的男童麥可(Michael Waters),在住家附近玩耍時遭車輛撞擊,搶救後仍不幸喪命。
麥可的家人表示,他從小就相當熱心,經常把自己的午餐、衣物分享給有需要的同學。甚至在意外發生的2年前,麥可就曾告訴父母,如果有一天自己離開這世界,希望能夠捐出器官幫助其他人。事發後麥可的父母強忍悲痛完成他的心願,捐出的肝臟也成功救回布魯克林。
報導指出,手術數個月後,布魯克林透過器官捐贈組織取得麥可母親聯繫方式,兩人一開始是以書信往來,之後更決定親自見面,也就是在那次相聚中,布魯克林第一次見到麥可當時年僅6歲的弟弟諾亞(Noah Waters)。在這之後,布魯克林一家每年都會從肯塔基州開車至少5個小時前往俄亥俄州探望麥可一家,而布魯克林與諾亞也在一次次的見面中,逐漸成為無話不談的好友。
報導表示,兩人長大之後雖然各自展開不同人生,但彼此之間的聯繫卻都沒有中斷,甚至還可以一天視訊聊天8個小時。直到2025年春天,兩人當時都恢復單身,諾亞得知布魯克林其實一直對自己有好感時,特地在一個週末開車前往肯塔基州,向她坦白自己也有相同心意,兩人多年友情也就此昇華成愛情。
兩人交往後感情也迅速升溫,他們在2025年底訂婚,目前正與5隻愛犬共同生活,也一起照顧諾亞與前妻所生的8歲兒子,兩人計畫於本月舉辦婚禮,原先只打算邀請少數親友舉辦小型派對,沒想到親友得知消息後反應熱烈,最後婚禮變成百人婚宴,最特別的是,當年接受麥可心臟移植的男子也親自到場,共同見證這段跨越20多年的生命奇緣。
布魯克林坦言,麥可當年捐給她的不只是一個肝臟,而是完整的人生機會,正是因為麥可,自己才有機會活下來、享受人生。諾亞談到已故哥哥時也感觸良多,形容哥哥即使年紀還小,卻總願意盡力幫助身邊的人,成熟程度遠超過實際年齡,更直呼「我當時完全不知道,哥哥23年前救了我未來太太的命」。
