Years After Divorce, Woman Gives Ex-Husband Life-Saving Kidney
Mary Zeigler helped her former husband, Bill Henrichs, when he needed it most.
While their 24-year marriage has long been over, Zeigler and Henrichs, from Minnesota, met when they were just 14 years old, and married four years later when they turned 18. The pair went on to raise two children together, Matthew and Macy, but as the years passed by, the love they felt for each other began to fade, the former couple told FOX 9.
Over time, the differences between the couple were just too great for them to ignore. After 24 years of marriage, the couple divorced, but made it a point to remain friends.
But the ongoing friendship between the two former spouses toke a turn to make their lives apart even closer 20 years after their divorce, Henrichs found out he was in need of a kidney early 2018, and while dozens of people were tested as his health declined, no match was found.
After seeing the difficulties Henrichs faced, Zeigler, whose blood is type O, stepped forward to get tested as a transplant candidate — and doctors discovered she was a perfect match.
The surgeries were a success, and Zeigler hopes other couples may see the positive things that can happen when they keep relationships friendly between their exes…. That is very sweet!
