Daily Mail has kind of become my guilty pleasure. I check it up to 5 times a day, depending on how busy I am at work. I am pretty addicted to Investigation Discovery, a channel dedicated to real-life murder shows, and Daily Mail delivers hundreds of similar stories to me a week! Sort of a weird obsession… Of course, there are other things on there that I enjoy reading. Yesterday, my boyfriend and I came across a video of a couple of guys holding their prized catches- mahi mahi. All of a sudden, a seal JUMPS out of the water and grabs one of the guys’ fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We watched it like 10 times, laughing harder each time. Clearly, I’m easily amused…

The point of this is that I came across an actual GOOD story on Daily Mail last week that I have been waiting for today to write about. I am a believer in karma, fate, and everything happening for a reason. I also believe in reincarnation which I’m told by some is foolish…. but anyway…

When Kyle Froelich was 19 years old, his kidneys essentially stopped functioning and he was in desperate need of a kidney transplant. With many friends and family offering kidneys to Kyle, he kept getting struck down as each one was not a match. Doctors believed he was in his last year of life.

On September 12, 2009, he attended a car show and that’s where he met Chelsea Clair, a 22-year-old friend of a friend, who was currently going through a divorce. This chance encounter led to a day of hanging out at the show and, when parting ways, an offer. Chelsea told Kyle she would donate her kidney. He took the offer casually- after all, each previous offer ended up as a dead end. She meant it though. She went and got some testing done to determine if her kidney would be a good fit. Turns out, the two were an “almost perfect match”!

Six months after meeting, the two friends drove to the hospital together to undergo the kidney transplant. Almost immediately, Kyle’s body accepted the new kidney transplant. While in recovery, the two had to be kept apart due to a risk of infection. This didn’t stop Kyle, who asked the nurses to wheel him past Chelsea’s room whenever they could, just so that he could wave hello. I can’t even handle how cute this is.

It wasn’t until after the transplant and subsequent recovery that the two realized this was more than a friendship, and the two began dating. ‘There’s a bond that no one else, unless they’ve  done it, can know. She’s my best friend,’ Kyle said.

Three years later, on October 12, 2013, the two tied the knot in what I’m sure was a very emotional and uplifting ceremony. The couple chose to replace the traditional vows of ‘in sickness and in health’ and, in its place said, “I offer you my hand, my heart and my soul, as I know they will be safe with you.”
