When Mikey died, his heart was given to a little girl named Aubrey, who had congenital heart disease and desperately needed a new heart. Her body had rejected the first two transplants she had had. But Mikey's heart was perfectly compatible.
After 10 years of living with Mikey's heart, Aubrey showed up to surprise Monique at her 15th birthday party. Monique was able to listen to her brother Mikey's heart beating for the first time since he'd passed away.
