Dear Daughter is back with more amazing letters written by parents to their children and more powerful stories from the mother who lived through every parent's worst nightmare but found the strength to forgive her child's killer.
I was owed Anne's life but I was never going to be able to collect that debt.
To the daughter whose kidney donation saved her mother.
That's the biggest gift of all is just to watch her live her life to the fullest.

From the BBC World Service, this is People Fixing the World,
a show that shines a light on individuals who are solving old problems with new ideas.
And this week, we're talking about something very familiar.
Whether it's the rattling of train tracks,
the persistent honking of horns on a busy road, or the roar of a plane overhead,
today we'll be finding out about, or should I say hearing about, ways to tackle noise.
Now, it may feel like something that you've just learned to live with,
especially if you work in a busy city like me, but noise can have serious long-term effects on us.
The World Health Organization reports that by 2050,
nearly 2.5 billion people in the world will have some degree of hearing loss and more than 700 million will require hearing rehabilitation because of several reasons,
including loud noises.
Beyond that, prolonged exposure to noise has been linked to stress,
high blood pressure, anxiety and cardiovascular issues.
