The story
.
A mother lost her daughter to injuries in a skiing accident: Thirteen-year-old Taylor was not only her child, but her best friend.
But in an emotion-charged moment, she got to hear Taylor’s heart beat once again, six months later — in the chest of a grateful woman who gained her own life back as a result.
TODAY told the poignant story of a daughter lost and
lives saved as Meredith Vieira sat with Tara, her husband,
Todd, and heart recipient Patricia Winters live on Friday.
Their hands clasped together, the trio described their fateful meeting
Teen girl’s heart gives mom a second chance
“I asked her, ‘Can I just lay my head on your chest and listen?
’ Taylor and I were very, very close and I would lie in bed with her
and just snuggle with her,” she told Vieira.
“So I got to lay my head on her chest.
What was magical was while I was doing that,
her heart just had this huge kick. Then Patricia said,
‘Did you hear that?’ And I said, “Yes, I did.’
“Then it did it again — this huge kick.
I looked at Patricia and she said,
‘I was praying while you were lying on my chest that
Taylor would give you a sign that she was here.’ And she did.
I will never forget that. It was truly the gift
of Taylor letting me know she was here.”
