Dear Donor family
That name seems so cold considering the role you now have in our life. You have saved our sons life. We've thought about you a thousand times in the last 9 months. We've wondered how you are coping. We know you miss that smile, tiny voice, and presence. And yet a part of your baby will be here, forever united, to our family. Your child's heart. Eli's body. Working together to give him life. The gratitude, love, sorrow, guilt, and joy in our heart is all we are able to cope with, for now. We want to remember that it is your amazing family that gave our son a chance at life. We want to let you know how grateful we are for this gift. We want you to know that every day you are thought of and loved and remembered by our family. Your gift to us will never be forgotten or treated lightly. While your child's moments of this life were cut short, we want you to live them all within our sweet Eli. Thank you will never be enough. It will never say what we feel in our hearts. It will never suffice for how we feel towards you and your family. We hope to take you with us on Eli's journey from here on out.
Thank you for giving our son this life. Thank you for your perfect heart. Our son who was once half, is now whole.
