Dear God,

Today Lori received her new heart.  A 43-year-old man died.  At some point he signed a donor card.  It is possible to rejoice and weep at the same time.  We are doing both.

O God, in your creation you have put a loving spirit within each soul.  We can grow that spirit or not.  Some will help us grow our spirit; others will not.  But you, you make it possible.  Today this generous donor has grown his love to include my cousin.  We will never forget him.

Thank you

for this donor

whose name

we do

not know.

Thank you

for his generosity,

love and compassion.

Thank you

for specialists

who can

give new life.

Love, Andrea
