Each time I drive by this hospital, I think of the families inside of it, one in particular, who are struggling through one of the worst kinds of pain - and that is the pain of watching your child die from a disease for which there is no cure but that of a miracle.

Allie Scott is 4 months younger than my baby, and for the last month or so I've been reading her mother's words as Allie tries to overcome Leukemia. It doesn't look like Allie is going to survive this. If you pray, please pray that this baby doesn't experience any more pain, for her family as they grieve for her, and for the thousands of people who have been impacted by her story. Pray that the scientists who are researching cancer find some greater success in ending it.

Allie's mother wrote yesterday that her baby's story has changed the way people love their families. Allie and her family have given me greater inspiration to be a better mother to my three beautiful, little miracles - even when dealing with the petty struggles of daily life which sometimes consume me.

Go give your children a bigger hug than you might normally. Cover their heads with kisses and tell them you love them. Memorize the details of their faces. But, whatever you do, make sure they know how grateful you are for them and what limitless love feels like.
