At her wedding in Hiawassee, Georgia, bride Kaci Wilson paused mid‑aisle for a moment that stunned guests. Waiting to walk down was not only her father, but also Saleh Ahmad—the 7-year-old boy who received the heart of her late son, Myles, two years ago.
Saleh, clutching a stethoscope, listened to Myles’ heartbeat in his new chest. Kaci held back tears as old grief and new hope collided. In her voice cracked with emotion, she whispered, “You are my Myles.” Guests, including her surviving son Kyler—who now calls Saleh his brother—were overcome with emotion.
What started in tragedy became redemption. Through organ donation, Myles saved Saleh’s life—and now Saleh carries him forward. Kaci and Saleh’s first in‑person encounter was pure, powerful, and unforgettable. Recorded by a family friend, the footage spread across social media, inspiring many to consider the life-changing gift of organ donation.
