Dear Donor Family, " Thank You" these two words seem so inadequate for the gift of life you have given to me. You have given me a second chance to live and many tomorrows. I will be able to see the sun rise and set, feel the rain and sun on my face, hear the wind in the trees, and listen to the birds sing. I will be able to hug and be hugged. I must offer my deepest sympathy for your loss, mere words from a stranger, but heartfelt just the same. Perhaps, in your generous donation your family and mine will be able to "Celebrate the Life" of loved ones both past and present. I know nothing about the donor only that they must have been kind, caring, compassionate, and generous, something they had to have learned from you, their family. I feel that each new day has endless possibilities, and that my horizons are without bounds. I only hope that I am able to justify the use of this wonderful gift. I could make you promises of what I would do to make our world a better place, but we all know that promises tend to be broken and time can cause us to forget, but know this, not a day, not an hour, or a minute will go by without my thinking of the donor and their family who without I would not have had a chance to live. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The recipient |
