A Minnesota woman proved there's no hard feelings when she gave her ex-husband one of her kidneys — 20 years after they got divorced.
Mary Ziegler and Bill Henrichs, of St. Cloud, Minnesota, first started dating when they were just 14 years old and got married when they turned 18, only to divorce 24 years later after both growing up and apart from each other.
They decided to remain friendly for the sake of their two children, who were ages 5 and 8 when they got divorced, though.
In October, Mary Ziegler donated one of her kidneys to her ex-husband and childhood sweetheart, Bill Henrichs, even though they'd been divorced for 20 years
Now, 20 years after their split, the childhood sweethearts have proven that while their romantic relationship might not have worked out, they'll always be there for each other.
In February, Henrichs — who's been married to a woman called Linda for years — discovered that he needed a kidney transplant, after having experienced kidney failure due to diabetes and hypertension.
'I had probably 30 people volunteer to be checked and tested,' Henrichs told the St. Cloud Times, but many of the volunteers were either too old, weren't a close enough match or weren't healthy enough to give up a kidney.
'Things were just starting to point my direction,' Ziegler told Fox 9, adding that the first set of blood tests showed that 'not only were we a good match but they said we shared some antigens.'
Ziegler said that the decision to donate one of her kidneys to her ex-husband was a no-brainer.
Henrichs (pictured with second wife, Linda) said about 30 people volunteered to donate their kidney, but it turned out that Ziegler was not only a good match but that they shared antigens

'It wasn't even a decision,' she said. 'You know it was kinda like him calling up and saying can you come over and help us rake leaves. That's how I think of it.'
Ziegler spent the month of September preparing her kidney by watching her diet and drinking a lot of water. 'I gave him a nice fat voluptuous kidney,' she said.
Apparently her hard work paid off, as Henrichs noted that following the October transplant surgery at the Mayo Clinic, 'The doctor did say it was an excellent kidney when I woke up.'
While donating a kidney to an ex seems like an unusually charitable act, Ziegler said a surgeon told her 'it's more common than you think, especially when they're older like us.'
Reasons for this magnanimous organ donation between ex-spouses, Ziegler told the St. Cloud Times, are that 'You share children. You share grandchildren. You're 60 years old and (know) what's important in life now. It's not all the crap that happened before. It's about the rest of your life.'
At the end of the day, the couple said they're going public with their story with the hopes of inspiring other exes to consider a healthy divorce.
'If this story changes one person’s actions or attitude towards their ex, it’ll be all worth it,' Ziegler said.

The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.https://hienalouca.com/2018/12/31/woman-donates-kidney-to-ex-husband-20-years-after-their-divorce/

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
