Sacrifice is Essence of Love

Naila, who was suffering from a disease and needed blood from her brother Ali, who had been identified as a matching donor and had developed the antibodies needed by his sister to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to Ali, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. He took a deep breth and said:
"Yes, I'll do it if it will save Naila."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?" Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood, but still he agreed to give his life for his sister.

LOVE IS A MIRACLE OF LIFE AND SACRIFICE IS ITS ESSENCE
