bump - please read this beautiful yet heartbreaking story if you have a minute.

I'm sitting here at work trying to fight back tears. That really is a touching story.

My wife and I talked today after seeing a girl today with a chromosomal condition like Down Syndrome. What if our baby girl who is due in September is born with issues like this? No matter what, we will love her and enjoy our time with her. But I never really thought about our unborn baby being born with cancer or related issues.
Thanks for sharing this story.

thats ok Derek. Yes I'm also sitting here at work like you - I've been crying pretty much on an off all day after reading this story.

All my petty issues seem so silly when you read something like this - she's such a beautiful little girl and it's so hard seeing a child/baby suffer like she is.

We've got two kids and you love your kids no matter what - even if they are born with health problems/disabilites - i guess it's just your parental instinct to have that unconditional love.

Congrats by the way on your impending arrival - becoming a mum is the best thing I've ever done - your gonna love it!

If you wanna read somethin really sad but truly inspirational
