As for many, Allie has made me a better person.<BR/><BR/>My cousin Nicholas was diagnosed with ALL when he was four, and eventually lost his battle at age 14. Nicky was only 5 years younger than me, so at the time I didn't feel the impact of this horrible disease. It wasn't until I "met" you and Allie that I understood. I am currently training with Team In Training in honor of Nicky. However, Allie is the reason why I have this strong desire to do whatever I can for childhood cancer. <BR/><BR/>Once again, thank you for sharing Allie...and for changing my life.The Wunsch Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345753651205650863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127592879772702909.post-92104685622777852752008-04-08T19:29:00.000-07:002008-04-08T19:29:00.000-07:00Absolutely a beautiful post.

It is a world no parent wants to enter and the strength and eloquence with which you lived it has been such an inspiration to me. I am watching two sites now and watching another two children losing their battles which breaks my heart. Your words & strength of spirit have lifted me up again.

I remember the "raspberry kisses", the 'tummy time", giraffe loving sweet girl! I remember the entries of "the girl" and the beautiful <BR/>butterfly sightings after her passing. Oh how that beautiful smile of Precious Allie will forever be wonderful memory to me! I still from time to time visit the site to look at pictures of the ROLY POLY baby girl!! She as truly an angel amongst us! <BR/><BR/>Yes Allison Scott was the first child I followed on the CB site! Allie's journey thrust me into a world of childhood cancer that I somehow surmised only happen on those commercials! Allie put a REAL FACE on this beast! It is Allie who gave me the courage to become a blood donor and register as a BMT donor!! Allie's time here on earth was definitely not in VAIN! Thank you and Andrew for the gift of ALLISON SCOTT!!

I've shared it with countless new moms since. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing :) I was cda44 (Angie) on the boards we frequented back then, and I've tried to keep up with you since scotthousehold.com closed. I appreciate being able to still "be a part" of your life.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and we're going through that whole Weight Watchers thing together, too. But that's another entry, isn't it?

I couldn't hear what you were saying, but it was during that conversation that they started playing that cd. You abruptly stopped your conversation with the church lady, put your hand over your mouth, and then you left the room. That was my first time to hear "I Can Only Imagine." I was really early to the funeral, so I heard the cd play a few times before the service started. I fell in love with the song - I imagined that the song was you saying those words to Allie - about what it would be like when you finally saw her in heaven. Now that I've downloaded the song to my iPod, I know what the true meaning of the song is, but I still tear up when I hear it. Your loss of Allie is still painful for me. When I think about it, it brings me back to my terrible moments as well. I often struggle with the fact that we were lucky and you were not. How is that fair? It most certainly isn't fair at all.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just wanted you to know that. I don't remember if I ever told you all of that before.<BR/><BR/>I'm going through some tough stuff with Jamison right now, and I started a blog about it. It's not cancer, of course, but it's a big deal to us. www.jamisonsjourney.blogspot.com Check it out when you have time.
