Lol!!!!!! Dead cats – of COURSE that was the focus of the presentation! I have a 6 year old who is going on 30. She is my only child and sounds very similar to Scarlett… in that she is a girlie tomboy whose favorite color is rainbow.

Ha! I used to teach kindergarten and I know how true it is that the dead cats were an exciting focus! The focus was never what was expected. Such a great age!

I am so impressed with your strength and your calm poise in dealing with ALS while raising a very young child. But more than anything else, when I read your story on CNN and followed up with your blog updates, it struck me how natural and inspirational you are a mother to your daughter. She sounds like she is becoming the same mature, smart, practical level headed mother she sees and hears in you. Parenting is intrinsic but being a role model takes a lot of expertise. Clearly, you are your daughter’s role model and she is emulating your take charge attitude because she admires you and is trying to be just like you; strong and fearless. I will never know why or how God can take a perfectly happy married mother and give them a timetable to be with their beloved children and families when they have so much to live for – his selection process must have something to do w/ choosing people whom he knows will be the most courageous and demonstrate the most strength while leaving a legacy of love and leadership behind. I will pray for you and your beautiful family every day. Your daughter is so lucky to have such a fantastic mother – and she definitely knows this too!
