I loved this little guy

God bless anyone that helps sick children in any way.

Standing with one as he passes is about the hardest thing I can imagine. Your points with me aren't redeemable for anything of value but you got 'em just the same.

So sorry to read this man. I can tell you made life for him and his family better. Excuse me while I go hug my kids for a moment.

I hope you can find some peace.

The world is a better place because of folks like you Patrick. Thank you for sharing...

You did a good thing. Keep doing good things by not giving a millisecond of thought to the bio-dad.

I can't read that quote with dry eyes. I remember when I lost my grandfather and all we ended up with was a plain white cardboard box. His was a full life, at least I can find solace in that. The thought of that being your child is something that I cannot fathom.
