An act of grace

One of our members has a wonderful kid (who shall remain anonymous). Now, we know from experience that ALL kids are wonderful, but this child gave a precious gift - her bone marrow. Donors and recipients have to wait a bit for their identities to be revealed to each other (and only if they wish). But this recipient couldn't wait. We couldn't add the actual image of the letter, but here is the text:
---------------------------------------------------
Dearest Donor,
This is probably  the hardest latter I have ever written. The reason is, I can't express how blessed I feel for what you have done for me. I'm a total stranger to you, yet you have given me such a blessing. You have given me the gift of a second chance to live. The chance to see my parents every day of their lives, to be there for my nephew and niece, to watch my stepson grow up - but most importantly, you avoided (prevented) the heartache my mother would have felt if she lost her youngest daughter. I sincerely thank you for your generosity. I hope to one day meet you, but in the meantime, know you have someone who prays for you every night. I pray you have a life full of blessings, of happy memories, success, and abundant love. 

You will be forever in my heart.
With lots of love, a friend
