RIP Leah Siegel

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.

 

And here I thought texting while driving was tough to do.

 

Haha ... I was parked. No worries on that one.

 

i'm sobbing as i type this. a teardrop just fell own my left cheek. that wAS A BEAUTIFUL but tough read.

 

RIP Leh Siegel and condolences to extended family, friends.
She sounds like a talented, extroverted person who loved life.

 

Wow. Hard to read that and not well up.

 

Seconded. I read it in the office yesterday... eyes were wet by the end.
