As devastation filled him, Holland said, he turned to acceptance. He came to the conclusion that someone else was getting their second chance. “Someone else is getting a miracle on their Christmas,” Holland said.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Patrick Holland is a father of seven children in Fairbanks who leads a life filled with laughter and faith.
Then on Dec. 22, Holland got the miraculous call that he’s been waiting for: a heart that hospital employees described to him as a “perfect match” was waiting for him in Seattle. That same day, Holland and his brother headed to the Fairbanks airport to catch a red-eye flight to Seattle. But shortly after arriving at the airport, his miracle began to fade.
“So, I’m like ‘Man, I’m so relieved’, this is all God lining things up,” Holland said. “I’m thinking, man I’m so relieved.”
