    Very powerful story. Hard to read.

    Having lost my father to cancer, I was reluctant to read this ... just because I've been through so much of this. What a powerful story, what a tremendous heart in Leah and what an ally in Eric that she had. Jamie Thompson should be commended. That was a REALLY well written story. Not overwritten in the least. Author just let the anecdotes and interviews carry the piece.

    Read the story in my car yesterday. I had to stop multiple times to compose myself. I've rarely cried reading a story, but I cried reading that one.

    RIP, Mrs. Siegel. I only pray I can be as good a parent as she was to her kids.
