Barbie and Ken ‘Split’ After 43 Years Must be a slow news day. Though I do find this marginally more interesting than Jennifer Lopez and What’s-His-Name and far more interesting than Janet Jackson’s nipple.
I have three “lucky pieces” that have served me throughout my life. I have an old Gumby bendy toy that sat every test in veterinary school with me. I have a bag of polished worry-stones that was given to me by my first boyfriend when I was fifteen. And I have the silver unicorn pendant….
I did a nice long entry yesterday. It was mostly devoted to how much I felt like I was at loose ends. I believe I may have mentioned something in there about straightening up around the place, going out for breakfast, renting a couple of more videos, and spending time but not money at Wal-Mart….
I get a weekly update from USA jobs of openings the government has in my specialty. Most would require moving a fair distance, but I keep my eyes open just in case one were to become available within commutable distance. I was fairly surprised yesterday evening when the weekly update appeared in my inbox indicating…
It’s been exactly two weeks today. Ex-work screwed up last week and neglected to direct deposit my final week’s worth of earned pay into my savings account. Apparently the 71+ hours of accrued PTO I had was also supposed to be direct deposited but that too didn’t make it. Both should go in today. My…
Alert Status – RED: Severe risk of terrorist attacks. Yes, boys and girls, it’s been confirmed. My body has yet again launched a surprise attack on poor unsuspecting, innocent ol’ me. Prior unprovoked assaults on me have been executed by my heart, immune system, vascular system, peroneal tendon (that one was a particularly nasty sneak…
this is the kind of letter that is tough to write, but you pull it off. too bad they can’t know more about you.
I think that’s pretty good. I tried to read it from the recipient’s perspective. I think that you waited until this time of year is actually very good. The first holiday season after losing a loved one is very difficult, and this letter might make it easier. The only thing I might even suggest to add is that you are taking exceptional care of their child’s liver, that you don’t drink and are careful about medication that could damage it. They might feel better to know that the doctors are unsure as to why your original liver failed but that you were not engaging in behaviors that could have put you at risk. Oh, and you could add that it is working normally.
The above are just suggestions, and those particulars are not necessary, I suppose, but if it were the Kid, I would feel better to know that whoever got his organs would take good care of them.

Great letter. You have always had a way with words.
Beautiful…
Beautiful…
Beautiful.
What a beautiful letter.
I would not change a thing.
Telling them about your past health would only make them sad and they do not need to know that.
You did an excellent job telling them just what they needed to know….that you are leading a ‘normal, healthy and happy life’ once again, thanks to their ‘decision’.
That will make them ‘happy’ knowing that they did they right thing. Also knowing that part of ‘them’ is living on, in you, is comforting to them, alone.
Again….
What a Beautiful letter.
Love,
Honey
P.S…
You letter also tells them…
What a ‘Beautiful person’ you are.
I think it’s a great letter. I think you did a great job showing how much a difference it has made to your life. I’m glad you were able to find the words.
