@mickj My husband was rolling words and phrases around in his mind for many months before he actually sat down to the computer. Then, he had me work with him on his letter to the donor. While we have not heard from the family, he really would like to. But we don't have any information about the donor except he was a 36 year old man. In the letter, we expressed our gratitude, and the second chance to continue the charitable work we do as a couple, and getting to see his grandchildren grow up.

@gingerw My transplant surgeon would tell me nothing about my donor, not even gender, but the parents responded to my letter to them and told me quite a bit about their daughter, my donor. It made her so real to me that it is even more difficult to think about her and her family now, and the grief they must feel.

@gingerw You know more about your donor that I do about mine. How did you find out any details at all? Did your transplant team share it with you?
