Brooke Eaton was overcome with emotion when she heard her son's heart beat again inside the chest of 16-month-old Lola Bond. (WCCO)(CNN) - Brooke Eaton was overcome with emotion when she heard her son's heart beat again inside the chest of 16-month-old Lola Bond. Eaton's selfless choice saved Lola's life when she was 5 months old. Thanks to Cash's heart, Lola is now doing wonderfully, according to Vorel. "Because of her great decision, we have Lola," Vorel said.

It was an emotional meeting between two families bound together by a single heart. Brooke Eaton traveled from Illinois to meet the little girl who received her late son's heart as part of a lifesaving transplant at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. Eaton's son, Cazmirr "Cash" Landers, was a happy 2-year-old who "loved trains and spending time with his family," the hospital said. After Lola was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and her family learned that her enlarged heart was crushing her surrounding organs, her family was desperate to find a transplant match.
