Two people-one heart. Josh Oakley had a rare heart condition that nearly killed him, until he received a life-saving heart transplant at a Kansas City Hospital. Now a healthy and active college kid, Josh had the chance to meet the mother of his heart donor. They're an unlikely pair with a connection you can't see, but you can hear: a heartbeat.
Josh's heartbeat hasn't always sounded so strong. He nearly died two years ago, from a rare heart condition. But a heart transplant saved his life. One year later, he met his donor's mother for the first time. It was a moment filled with so many emotions, both said they aren't sure how to describe it. "Going into it, there's nothing I could say to this woman for her and her family giving me the chance to continue being here," Josh said.
