The country star, Granger Smith and his wife Amber had reason to cry in love after announcing in June that their 3 year old son, River, had drowned.

The child saved two lives by donating organs, revealed his mother in an article on social media this weekend.

With "0% chance of brain recovery", doctors performed tests to determine if organ donation was possible, Amber wrote on Instagram.

It was not an easy process.

"We knew River's spirit was in heaven, but we could not bear to watch her tiny, earthly body fill herself with all the drugs for three days or more during their search," she wrote.

The doctors tried to speed up the process and told him that the family would not know which organs could be removed after the process. Amber spent the night before the operation with her son.

"I spent the night in bed with him, crying and talking to him while they kept doing tests and taking blood," she wrote. "The next morning, the family and staff lined up in the room for the & # 39; honor walk & # 39 ;.

A walk was just not appropriate.

"We told them that River loved going fast, so to honor him, they pushed him into this room faster than ever," she explained. "Granger and I stood and cried."

1 letter, 2 kinds of tears

Amber Smith said in a letter that she had received a letter revealing that the donation of her son's organs had saved a 49-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man.

"I cried when we opened it, cried out of sadness and cried out of love," she wrote. "I am so proud to be the mother of River and I am so grateful to God for giving it to us for these incredible three years."

Smith said she hoped that River's organ recipients would capture part of her mind.

"I pray that these two recipients live in good health, filled with joy and full force, like Riv," she wrote. She urged others to consider donating organs.
