Congratulations on your transplant! I had my liver transplant in Jan 2020. While I was still in hospital I was encouraged to write my donor family. I must have started my letter over 30 times. I was fortunate to hear from my donor family first, which made it so much easier to put my words on paper. On my 1 year anniversary we were able to meet in person. Since our meet up we've kept in contact with an occasional card or text. This experience has been wonderful! Not only am I able to express my gratitude, but my donor family can see the hope their loved one has given to the recipient families. My donor saved 5 women's lives by being an organ donor...what a gift! I wish you the best! I hope your letter gets to your donor family!
