Curiosity got the best of me. . . now I'm just sad. . .

I was at my niece's christening today, when my sister tells me she is pretty sure that she knows the identity of my organ donor.  Up to this point, (its been 10 weeks today), I haven;t given it too much thought.  I wondered, but never dwelled.  I intended on sending a letter to the family through Gift of Hope, when I felt ready and found the right words.  Well, when she told me she was fairly certain, my curiosity got the best of me,  I googled the information.  All I had known was that it was a 22 year old female from Wisxonson with brain injuries.  Well, my nosiness made me sad. . . It was a 22 year old mother of 2 involved in a fatal car crash.  The two children, her 4 year old and SIX DAY OLD son were not injured - thankfully.  How horrific for the family!  Now writing this letter to the family means even more, because the 2 children will have so little memory of their mother.  Curiosity killed the cat, and broke my heart!
