Written like a Dad who poured his whole life and soul into his beloved daughter, and into making her life as fun, special, wondrous and magical as possible amid unreal challenges. What a tribute here to her presence in your lives and to the brief life she lived so well. And to love unending. Sending you and your family love and wishing you peace, solace, and the comfort of so many brightly burning memories of Frankie.

Thank you for sharing her story- what a beautiful soul. Your family’s grief is so poignant and heartbreaking. There’s no better way to put it- it sucks to lose a loved but must be extraordinary painful to lose an angel. I can only hope my infant daughter learns to live a life so full and full of love.

I cannot imagine the grief, you, Leanne & Beau are going through. The pain will never go away. Over time, your pain will turn to fond, joyous memories of Frankie and her short lived yet vibrant life. It is fantastic to read that Frankie, outlived the original diagnosis of 12 months and brought your family immense joy for 7 more years. We don't know each other, however thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I know you have plenty of support and from family and friends. If you ever feel the need to simply reach out to a total stranger on a particularly hard day, feel free to reach out to me. I share with you, your pain. Kumar.

It is very important to understand our true Nature.

The Truth is our proper understanding of the present moment., in which we are and have our being. It is an undefined, undifferentiated, formless Awareness of Being.

If we are experiencing the present moment, why should we not think: BIG DEAL?

We have to experience our own Truth in the present moment, not some limited idea or concept of ourselves.

Our Truth includes the essence of light, love, peace, contentment, fulfillment, and a sense of completeness and wholeness, as well as an experience of already having, indeed, being, all that we could ever want or strive for.

This is the Truth of who we are.
