**Roadwalker** , I have two daughters, ages 4 and 5, and I cannot express to you how reading about your problem and seeing your beautiful daughter’s photo has affected me. I’m sure you’re getting all kinds of “smarminess” from all sides, so I won’t add to it. Just know that I am genuinely sorry for your difficult time and will keep your family in my thoughts. ---

I am truly sorry to hear the news **Roadwalker**. I know there are no words that can ease your burden, but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. As a father myself, my worst fear is to be in the situation you are in. I cannot imagine how difficult this is for you and your loved ones. May you find courage and strength in your daughter’s love. ---

God, that’s terrible. I am so sorry. An acquaintance here is fighting neuroblastoma in their 4-yr-old son, and we follow their progress closely thanks to a website. It’s wonderful that already Naomi’s experience has led to other patients getting better treatment–all kids are miraculous and wonderful, but Naomi even more so because she may have saved many lives. I hope she’s with you a much longer time. No matter what, though, there are countless other kids who will always, in part, be “your kids” because Naomi’s case helped them. ---
