I gave my nurse the gift basket with the card for the donor yesterday. This morning I opened up an email from my nurse who wanted to share an email from my donor. This is her email:
I just wanted to let you know that the recipient couple truly touched my heart today. I have always known why I was doing this, but this was the first time that somebody made it personal. I cried about their thoughtfulness before I even read their story and then I cried even harder. In a situation like this where I have been treated so anonymously it was nice to know that this couple was exactly the type of people I wanted to help and that I wasn't just someone in a profile. In all their devastation and desperation for a family they were still sweet and kind enough to think of me.
Several times I have brought up the topic of egg donation to people in attempts to get them to help others, most situations left me wondering why people were so hostile to the process of giving such a huge gift to those who were desperately in need of it. When there are so many people out there that are aborting their children or treating them like they were the biggest mistake of their lives, it is so unfortunate to think of such a deserving couple as this that honestly deserves a shot at happiness. I understand now how easy it would be to be a surrogate for such a wonderful couple.
My heart goes out to them and all they have endured. My children are the best thing that I have ever done. With everything I possess I will pray that they will receive the one thing they have been craving- the conception and delivery of a beautiful and healthy child.
By the way, the gift basket was wonderful. I love to eat sweets about as much as I love to make them. My kids always tell me how lucky they are that their mommy bakes all the time. I also love to give gifts far more than I like to receive them. (my boyfriend) said that it was like they knew me or that they were a lot like me- it was very fitting.
Please tell them that I wish them all the best.
I am touched beyond words. I am full-on crying right now. Wow. I picked a real sweetheart.
