Hard to believe it has been a year since Allie left us. Hard to believe that a tiny baby girl that most of us never met had such an impact on so many of us. I remember the hardest thing for me was after we got notice that she had passed, there was a link posted to the news story of her death. I was in my office at work, and clicked on it and heard the news reporter announce that she had died, and then they switched to a clip from a few months back of Allie in the hospital. After watching the clip, I burst into tears just sitting at my desk. All these many months of following the story, and seeing the pictures did not prepare me for her video. She was just a baby. Just a little baby, not walking, not talking. I was not prepared for her baby-ness. I wish she could have been one to make it. I wish they all could make it.

Yay for MDAnderson! Every year, I work with/in the parade to raise awareness for the Children's Cancer Center. It's sooo much fun! These sick kids have more life, and have done more living in their few years, than a lot of adults.
We all have a lot to learn from them.
Thank you for posting about this. I still check the website faithfully too.
