Your gratitude changes because of organ failure...

@gaylea1 This was a great submission you sent in. When you were finished, how did you feel? For Bill [my husband] when he wrote his donor family, it was a difficult task, as he is not prone to voice his feelings, but he felt compelled to let the family know his thoughts and gratitude. I am sure the donor's family will be happy to hear from you, even if they decide to not communicate back to you. We never heard from our donor family, unfortunately.

@gingerw it has taken me months and months to decide what to say. At first I started out telling them about my journey that led to a transplant but it was just depressing. So, I decided to make it a little more uplifting thanking them and focussing more on my donor. It was cathartic and I feel so much better knowing that I reached out. If I hear back it would be nice but if not at least they know how grateful I am.
