A 49 year old woman and a 53 year old man," she wrote in a heartbreaking post on Instagram on Saturday."I cried when we opened it. Cried out of sadness & cried out of love. I’m so proud to be River’s mama and I’m so grateful to God that he gave him to us for those incredible 3 years."
Amber, who shares two other children with Granger -- Lincoln, 5, and London, 7 -- also opened up about after having to take him off life support"when 3 different neuro specialists told us that River had 0% chance of brain recovery." "I've always known I wanted to be a donor if anything were to ever happen to me. I just felt that if I had viable organs, why would I go into the ground with them?
