Forget-me-not....

I thought it would be a nice idea to do something in memory of my donor, who has give me the greatest gift of all, the Gift of Life and for which I will be eternally grateful. Thank you seems such an inadequate word....

I sent my friends and family little cards with some forget-me-not seeds to plant in memory of my donor... it also contained a poem which reads...

Thank you for the gift of life, for letting me be me,

For all that I can know by words, and all that I can see,

For all the music I can hear and all the songs I sing,

For all the joy that comes to me and all the joy I bring,

For all the food that I can taste and all the sweet scents I smell,

For all the loved ones I can touch, who love and wish me well,

For all the beauty of the world, ever fresh and new,

I don't know whom else I can thank, and so I'm thanking you

I found it on the internet, but I think it says it all...

Here are some pictures of the cards.







My Donor and their family are never far from my thoughts and will always hold a special place in my heart x
