Fooey. I made the mistake I’ve told so many others not to do. I typed my entry directly into the entry box, instead of first typing it in Word and then copy/pasting it into DearDiary. I suspect you have already guessed the result of that ill-begotten attempt to update my diary. The site went down,…
Didn’t go to the gym last night. I simply couldn’t face it. I’ve been feeling totally washed out recently, and by the time I’d made dinner, served it, and then washed up I didn’t feel like doing squat. In fact, I felt just a tad naseous. I decided to download my email, read a bit,…
Cold Hands, Warm Heart Well, that was going to be the name of today’s entry. Two things got in the way of my being able to use such a clever little title. The temperature is supposed to go up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, setting a new local record for this date. And maintenance has apparently…
The blood oranges have again appeared at my grocery store. This is nearly a month earlier than their first appearance last year, and I dare to hope that this means that this year’s season will be longer. The Socialist has been indulging my addiction, and has purchased several dozen blood oranges for me already. I…
I downloaded the pictures from my digital camera to my computer last night, and picked a few for KfH’s fan club. The orientation of this first picture is absolutely correct – it’s the cat that is cockeyed. She’s discovered the part of my computer desk where the tower is supposed to go. I don’t keep…
I didn’t sleep again last night. It has become impossible to lie down and get comfortable. As much as I hated to, I called in sick this morning and took the day off. I wouldn’t have been safe behind the wheel, much less working around the animals at my job. Since I’d already arranged to…
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.
