I just read LCB's blog and her letter to the donor had me so moved I am sitting here sobbing and can't stop. I thank god that there are people that are willing to give a selfless gift of life.

Just read it - I had checked her blog earlier today but it was not up at that time. Tear-jerking, for sure!
Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!
I've done a lot of complaining today from DH's ex-wife that I got into a fight with at the bus stop, to complaining about work, to just about everything in between.
And now I feel like sh!t because I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for.
Her parents should be proud.

I actually couldn't read it.. I read the first few paragraphs and was crying. I truly so amazed at the strength that L and Kate have and the bond that they share as mother and daughter. There are so many times throughout my day ESP when J is being cranky or just driving me mad that I pause and think of the two of them and what they are going through. L is truly an inspiration to us all..
Her letter was beautiful and so is the young man who is saving Kate's life.

Re: Anyone else cry when they read LCB's letter to Kate's Donor on her blog?
I agree. The whole thing inspires to become a donor, but not sure how to go about. Do you mind posting a link to her blog?

This. I can't wait to pick up DD from daycare and squeeze her extra tight!

(been thinking about it for a while and that letter was the cherry on top)
My thoughts as well. I really hope he gets to read that some day....to truly know how much he has given.
