The devastated family of a girl who died of bacterial meningitis in 2016 were able to hear their daughter’s donated heart beating once again after meeting the boy who received it. “Alaiya was such a giving child that we knew it was the right thing to do,” Alaiya’s mother, Lacey, told World of Broken Hearts. She thanked the family for giving Mason a “chance at life,” and vowed that Mason’s would be fulfilling, Fox 2 Nashville reported. “Seeing Mason for the first time, we instantly felt a connection,” Lacey told the news outlet. “[It was] almost as if he’s known them for ages,” Angela told Fox 2 Nashville.
