In this intimate and emotionally layered conversation, Jay Gittleson sits down with Dina — the woman who stood beside Billy, a beloved figure in both the kidney and TikTok communities.

Through her honest reflections, Dina opens up about love, loss, and what it means to walk beside someone through every season — especially as a caregiver.

Jay shares how his own kidney transplant led him to a new kind of service, helping others navigate their health journeys and find emotional support through community and connection.

Together, they explore the quiet resilience it takes to care for someone you love, the personal growth that often comes from grief, and the role of social media in carrying Billy’s story into something greater — a legacy that still ripples outward.

This isn’t just a tribute. It’s a story of devotion, humanity, and what it means to be “the right one” in a world that doesn’t always give us perfect timing — but sometimes gives us the right people.
