Dear Johanna,

Sammy has reached out and gripped the hearts of all of us.
The entire situation is so difficult to accept - but it "is" - so we, feeling entirely helpless, can only offer our prayers and reach out to your family.

As I have said so many times, just thinking about Sammy reduces me to tears - either from the sadness of a down day - or the high of reading that she smiled for her Mom - or waved to the nurses.

There are days when it is really difficult to open the care pages to read the latest update. But, then I think of what your whole family is going through and I am filled with guilt - and open it up anyway.

I don't think there is anyone who would not be touched by Jessica's strength. What an example she has become for all of us.
