Letter FROM My Donor

(Mister Postman)

Mister Postman, look and see

(Oh yeah)

If there's a letter in your bag for me

(Please, Please Mister Postman)

Why's it takin' such a long time

(Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta)

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

(Mister Postman)

Mister Postman, look and see

(C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner the better)

I had tears in my eyes reading this letter. My question is: Will this make me a better student of Talmud? Will I finally be able to read Hebrew?

Dear Recipient,

 

I apologize for the delay in responding to your letters as I only returned home this past Shabbos.

 

I am a 22 year old yeshiva student in Israel. Your letters touched me greatly and I would like to share with you my feelings: At the beginning when I was first told that I was a match I was very moved and happy that I would have the opportunity to participate in possibly saving someone's life. I approached the donation in good spirits and with a high degree of awareness of what was taking place, though with perhaps not enough of a sense of the urgency of the situation. After the donation, when I received your letters, tears came to my eyes as I absorbed and understood the real meaning and urgency of what in essence was a simple act on my part.

 

I hope and pray that the medical procedures that you are undergoing are successful and that you have a complete recovery so that you are able to return to everyday life with health and joy.

 

Please keep me informed as to your progress. If you feel strong enough and it is not too much trouble I would also like to know how the transplant was carried out.

 

Thank G-d, I feel fine and truly enriched.

 

With blessings for a complete recovery,
