So,
renowned music Producer, OJB recently had a kidney transplant. And the kidney
donor was no other but his wife, Mabel. In an interview with Punch, Mabel
reveals why she donated her kidney to her husband.
See excerpts from the
interview after the cut:
“I
did not even think twice about it, I had it and I gave it to him. He is my
husband, the father of our children and I love him. This is somebody I have
been with all my life. I did not tell anybody before I decided to, not even my
parents because I had foreseen their reaction. There was no reason to inform
them. When I married him, I told God I
wanted the both of us to grow old together and live to see many generations. I
am sure God knew this situation before he brought us together because not only
am I a match for him, we are the same blood group and we are both stubborn.”
And this is what OJB
has to say:
“A
major illness can break a home. Sometimes, instead of one partner seeing the
other through the period of sickness, they would rather walk away. It could be
draining them psychologically, financially or both. When you talk more as a
couple, you create that atmosphere where you can actually share what you feel
about the situation. I did not want anybody to donate an organ for me and I was
very stubborn about it. I thought I was going to come out of the situation
without a transplant. I was ready to go through any other route to make it
happen. Above every other thing, I have always believed in the God factor and
that is what has kept us going.”
Awwww, so sweet. Things
we do for love.
