Long time, no substantive update. That didn’t used to be the case. When The Salamander was relatively anonymous, making an entry was like poking a note into a bottle and chucking it into the Atlantic. Chances were that the note wasn’t going to be read, and if it was it would be by an anonymous…
Monday has arrived, and signals the end of The Socialist’s semester break. The first eight weeks of his summer schedule have him teaching at the college Monday through Thursday nights. I’m not sure I’d like this as a long-term schedule, but I have to admit that I’m looking forward to having early summer evenings to…
I didn’t get a chance to really complete my last entry. There’s so much I have to do tonight, I don’t know how to begin. I need to pay the bills up to date, take care of the rent, get instructions on cat care taken care of for the Sisters, get sloppy joe mix made…
The first day went fine, though it was not what I expected. Working back in the pharmacy means working in your own little world. Based on one day’s experience, there is virtually no opportunity to meet any co-workers but the ones who work the pharmacy. As far as that went, I am apparently the only…
Things are like that because I choose to be self-sufficient. If I can’t do it on my own, then I have no business doing it. By mutual agreement we have our own bank accounts, pay our own bills, split mutual costs like mortgage and utilities down the middle, and otherwise maintain what is the individual’s…
A few years ago someone asked me in here why I did not recommend donating to the Humanse** Society of the United States (HSUS). I’d had some bad personal experiences with them, but I really couldn’t give a good, well-substantiated reason then. Now I can: HSUS overhead takes 50 cents of every dollar donated: report…
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.
