5A Tam Hiu Shan, Rita
A letter to Savior
Dear Mr. Savior,
Thank you for your donation. I’m alive now! It is your kind devotion that changes my life! I’ll never forget it. I believe it is not a rush decision of yours, you must have considered it thoroughly. I can’t help but giving you a standing ovation as you convinced your parents to be in line with you. Such a brave person you are!
Before I receive your donation, I was counting my days. My parents’ eyes were full of disappointment and misery when I was diagnosed with the terminal illness, liver trouble. They were in tears every day. We were waiting desperately. Even though the doctor prescribed me some tablets so that my pain could be alleviated, but still, it was useless. I always stared at the garden outside the hospital and those kids who were playing with their football. I knew it was an unrealistic dream. It was totally a fool’s paradise. I couldn’t bear this tremendous pain even when I was lying in bed, not to mention joining outdoor activities.
I remembered that I was praying desperately every day for an organ donated, but the waiting took so long. I was able to give up when one day my doctor told me that there was an organ donor. How could it be possible? Everyone was taking a hard line on the donation of organ while you were willing to devote yourself to helping others? I believed that I did not need to depart from this world. My mum and dad turned their crestfallen face into a delighted one. What good news to us!
It is a shame that I cannot thank you in person, but I still want to share some good news with you. I can continue my dancing performance now! Before your donation, I was being told that I could never perform on the stage again. But look at me now, I’m not just alive, but my dream is realized! I will perform on the stage in the City Hall this week. I hope that you can watch my performance in the heaven!
I know that there are still a lot of people who need our help. The vast majority is those who are struggling to survive. Not only are the patients who are waiting for our kind donation suffering from great physical pain but their family members are under great stress seeing their beloved suffer. I will model myself after you and make sure that this love never fades out.
What’s more, I would like to thank your relative for their open-mindedness. If not, I can never receive your donation nor see the cerulean sky again. Their liberal attitude has saved me and my parents from desperation. I really hope that this kind of belief can be widely accepted so that more patients can survive.
I wish you good days in the heaven! God will protect every one of us and your family!
Love,
Rita
