Jenny and Andrew,
You are never far from my thoughts...Allie has been in the forefront of my mind these past few weeks.
I am praying for strength for you both and your families as you walk through this devastating journey.
Because of Allie and your willingness to share her life with the world - I am a better person, a better mother.
I am also giving thanks that my life has been touched by an angel.
Blessings.

My and my families prayers are with you daily. Thank you for spreading the word about AML. My 22 yr old cousin was diagnosed with it this summer. I can't imagine all the pain you are going through.

dear scotts-

i love you so much. i pray for a husband like andrew and a daughter like allie. i am so lonesome, but i take joy in the family that surrounds you, even though for some reason i haven't found my mate.

life is not fair at all. i have a cousin who is simply CRUSHED that her last born wasn't a girl... so here she sits, 3 healthy babies and a stay-at-home mom and mourns her life.

what a waste. i too am a language teacher(spanish--sorry!!), jenny, and your students are the luckiest kids on earth... to have a teacher who is REAL and gifted.

it's only through your suffering, bravery and sheer strength that i've come to realize the preciousness of life. bless you... love you.

i don't understand god's plan either. it really doesn't seem fair. i'm stumped wondering why crack-moms can let their kids die in the projects and YOU have to lose your little girl. someone, tell me why?

love-

It's so amazing that this beautiful little girl who has touched so many lives, is just a baby who is completely unaware of all the people who are sending love to her and her family.

Allie, sweet girl, I will never, ever forget you. You will live on in so many hearts forever.

Jenny & Andrew, there are no words that will adequately express how my heart is breaking for you. I am sending lots of love to you all, across the miles tonight.

Dear Scott family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that Allie finds peace with no pain. I pray that you as well find peace. Thank you for blessing my life with your journey. It is because of you that I hug my 2 year old tighter every night and give him 5 more minutes of time rocking in his chair when he asks for it.
Lots of love, Stacey

I have been checking your site every day since I found it. My thoughts and prayers go out to your sweet baby girl and all of you. There is never a right thing to say at a time like this but your precious baby girl, you, your husband, and everyone are so special and you are truly wonderful people to let all of us be in your lives. I share your life with all of my friends and family everyday and they all ask when they see me how is Allie doing? So its not just me praying for all of you its all of my loved ones too. I hope that baby Allies remaining life on earth is as pain free as it can be and may God continue hers and all of you and your familys strength. Please take care and you have so many thoughts and prayers coming from our town here in Indiana.

Jenny, Andrew, and sweet baby Allie,
I cannot begin to fathom what you are going through, but thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. Through the tears, I have deeply enjoyed seeing the pictures of your precious baby, and my heart aches for all of you. It may be difficult to see now, but how lucky you are to have held an angel in your arms.

An Angel entered your life when you gave birth to your beautiful baby girl and be assured she will never leave. The strength you have shown, whether you have felt joyous or devastated, is a true reflection of what the human soul is capable of. To everyone, you are an inspiration. May the wings of your angel forever enfold you.

Jenny & Andrew,
I don't even know what to write. Every night after I read Allie's update I go and hold my 8 month old daugther and just sob...she looks up at me like I'm a maniac. I am so heartbroken for you and your family for the suffering that you have all been going through for these last few months. I know the hospital life to some degree. My son Derek (who is now 4) was born with a heart condition and had his first of three open-heart surgeries when he was one day old. He spent his first month in the hospital and was hopitalized at different times for illness and surgeries. I can close my eyes and still smell the hospital. I understand the fear of the hospital but also the wonder of it all...all those doctors and nurses and other parents caring with all their hearts...it's overwhelming. Of course, I'm not comparing my story with yours. My Derek has overcome his rough beginning and your poor Allie will not. It must be such an inspiration to you to know what an impact her little life has had on so many people all over the world. I am praying for you, your family and of course still for a miracle. Allie is so blessed...she must have the biggest heart in the world! It must be so full with all these millions of people that love her. I'm so sorry. God Bless.

Dear Scott Family,

I don't even know what to say, except you are in my thoughts. I hope Allie will have a peaceful passing if that is exactly what it comes to. Because of you and your daughter, I hug mine a little tighter each and every night so very thankful that they are here and so much a part of me. *hugs* I hope you all find peace soon.

Jenny, Andrew & Allie
I signed your guest book not too long ago having just heard Allie's precious story for the first time. I have since thought of Allie every day, and continued to follow her story. After reading her Sunday, Sept 13 update, I sit in tears once again. How a family can be so strong completely amazes me. And Jenny, how you could be so strong as a young mother is just beautiful, and your little girl has been so lucky to have you by her side. As a mom of a 5 month old, I can only hope that I could ever be so strong if God were to present me with a situation like Allie's. It is amazing to sit and read this guestbook and see the numbers of people from around the world that are praying for Allie. Although I do not know the three of you personally, I feel that God has shared Allie's story with me so that I can see how truly blessed I am to have my little boy. Your little girl is beautiful, and the inspiration of her story will stay with me as a mom for the rest of my life. Allie will not only be looking over the two of you as your angel, but she will be looking down on many other people who love her as well. God bless you Jenny, Andrew, and of course, angel Allie.

Oh Allie what a sweet precious angel you are. To live such a short life on earth but effect so many people is a gift from God. You were sent here to bring so much love to everyone. People you don't even know are sharing your life with you and praying for you to get better. I have prayed so hard for the very same thing. Soon you will be better baby, and you will feel no pain. I thank you Sweet Allie for all the things that you have taught me, you have taught me to sing like noone is listening, dance like noone is watching, and love like I have never loved before. We love you Allie!! Thank you for sharing your life with so many, and teaching us all so much, you are a TRUE HERO!!

Tonight I was given the link to precious Allie's web page. It is hard to comprehend what she has gone through and how you are feeling. Your love for Allie is so strong, that I know that it has been what has helped keep her fighting. May God be with you and beautiful Allie. I will pray through this difficult night with you.

Jenny and Andrew, I have followed your story and updates for only a few weeks now. You two seem to be truly superb parents to your beautiful daughter Allie! She is so fortunate to have parents who have been able to give her so much love and care. You are an inspiration to all whom you have shared your story and life these past several months. You and Allie have been in my constant thoughts and prayers and will continue throughout this heartwrenching time in your lives. My prayer is for Allie's suffering to end and for you all to find comfort and peace! Love, The Stewart Family in McKinney.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
I am sitting here at my desk, after putting my own 16-month old angel to sleep, reading today's post with tears streaming down my face. I cannot even imagine the pain you and your family are feeling right now. If my Andrew were even half as sick as Allie is, I would just melt into tears. You two have shown me what true strength is. Words cannot explain the sorrow I feel for you all. You are so lucky to have such a beautiful child in your life to show you how important each and every moment is. Allie has impacted all of our lives so much! She is in our thoughts every day. We pray for her pain to be over with. We pray for your pain to be over with. Even though I have not met you, I feel like you are my family. Each day you write about Allie's journey brings me that much closer to my family. Allie is so lucky to have such amazing parents! You two are angels yourselves. May God bless you and your family, and allow sweet Allie to feel no more pain. We love you all!!

Jenny & Family - your story has touched my heart! As a mother of a 4 month old and 3 year old it is oftentimes easy to become frustrated and overwhelmed by the circumstances of your day. Your story has reminded me to be thankful for these frustrations and the opportunity to experience them. I have only learned of your precious little Allie's story tonight, but will continue to pray for you during these difficult times. It is obvious Allie is one special little girl...and you are a very special family! May God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you. Please remember that God is still in the miracle business!! Many blessings!

Dear Jenny, Andrew & Allie,

I haven't posted in a while, and I wasn't going to post because so many people have expressed what I would say, but then I realized that I might not get a chance to, if I don't do it now. So, thank you, thank you, thank you - for being so generous and courageous. You have never ceased to amaze me with your strength and generosity. Allie is such a beautiful angel and while losing her hurts so much, she has made more of her life than people who have lived so much longer. I will tell my daughter who was born about the same time as Allie all about her one day so that she will know how much one person can make a difference. Thank you for being her voice, for her song has been beautiful and has touched so many lives. I wish for you comfort, healing and peace in the time you have left with her. I wish I could be there to say goodbye to Allie and to celebrate her life with you, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will be thinking of her when I have my second child in April as I will be donating the cord blood in the hopes that it can help someone special like Allie. Thank you all for making life richer and more precious.

Dear Sweet, Allison Leigh Scott:
If you get this message, you must know that there are people at every end of this great Earth who would love nothing more than to grab you up and take all of your pain away. Following your story for over 3 months now, I am amazed at the accomplishments you've encountered in such a short time. While everyone here hopes and prays for a miracle and you survive this ugliness, we all know that the miracle has already happened....you were born. And how lucky for you to have been born to Jenny & Drew. As I sit here writing this, the 2 and 1/2 year old light of my life drifts off to sleep, having worn himself out at the playland in McDonalds, and he makes me thankful for every breath and little snore and all the mischief he gets into. He makes me happy, as you make your parents happy, and they will be happy still, just to know you aren't in anymore pain. We will miss you, my darling! Please know that you are loved beyond your imagination!!! You're a dear sweet girl, and may you have a smile upon your face as you reach out to your savior.....GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL and your family, Miss Allie!

I just needed to post these song lyrics for you all....

There's a wreath on the door
She don't live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It won't be the same with her gone
There's a place on the hill
That's peaceful and still
Where she'll sleep beside daddy again
The ole' family tree is shedding its leaves
But we'll all met in heaven again
Oh, she's an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
She's gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When god sees her comin'
Heaven's choir will smile
And sing, "oh she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, she's an angel, let her fly"

She used to rock me when i was a child
Sing "rock of ages" and "in the sweet bye and bye"
Her life wasn't easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know she's an angel, lord, so let her fly
Let her fly
Ooh she's an angel, let her fly

Jenny & Andrew-
AS I sit here reading everyone's posts, I cry. I know everyone means well, but I can only imagine what you must be thinking. To have people tell you that you are strong and such an inspiration. You probably wonder everyday, "Why us? Why were we chosen to be this portrait for a disease?" You didn't ask for this and you certainly shouldn't be going through this. No one ever should. I could be wrong in saying all that, but I know that's probably how I would feel if I were in your place.
I believe in God, but I am not religious. I believe there is a higher power then us and I can only hope and wish that your daughter no longer suffers. I hope you feel surrounded in the love that is all around you and your family. If miracles are truly possible I've wished one for Allie. If things are not meant to be then I wish my miracle for you. That the both of you can find the strength to carry on and keep Allie alive in your hearts. You will all be together again one day.

Thank you for sharing your story with the world. As I sit here sobbing and listening to my 3 month old daughter fussing in her crib, I now realize what's truly important in life. She is my world and I don't know if I could be as strong as you. You are all so brave - especially Allie. I wish your family the best and hope you all find peace.

Vancouver, BC Canada - Monday, September 13, 2004 10:37 PM CDT

I just found your website. I was refered to it by another mom in my online playgroup for my 13 month old son. I am both saddened and enlightened by your story. I am so sad that you have had to go through such a terrible year with your baby. All the ups and downs, the hopes and crushed dreams. I cannot for one minute know what it would be like to be in your shoes. But I am also enlightened by your unbelieveable love and dedication to your baby and her disease. The strength of your love will make a difference in the lives of all of our children. Our world will be a better place due to your persistence and because you unselfishly have shared your family and your story with the world, holding nothing back. Seeing Allie's sweet face and hearing about her pain is an emotional jolt I don't think anyone could not be effected by. I wish I had found your site sooner so that I could have offered prayers and positive thoughts long ago. I guess I will just have to pray extra hard every day to make up for it. You are both so brave to tell her it is OK to let go. You are truly selfless people who want what is best for their little girl. You are an inspiration to every parent and sharing your story will make a difference. I will continue to read your journal and I pray right now that Allie will be in comfort and that her body will heal. Many hugs to you and your family. I will help spread the awareness of your story and Allie's disease.

Jenny Andrew, and sweet baby Allie. I have watched your changes and prayed for you for some time. I have had a hard time signing this guestbook, I am not an eloquent writer, and Allie deserves eloquence. I am the mom to 6 daughters, and I feel their pain when they hurt. I know that both of you want to take away her hurt. I remember watching my brother passing away after suffering with a blood disease, and all I wanted for him was peace. He got peace shortly thereafter. Allies plight has helped me grow. The thought that she may pass soon is so bittersweet, bitter for she needs to go, sweet because Heaven is a Wonderful Place where there is no pain or tears. Allie will be busy being the Guardian Angel to her wonderful parents. My heart, love and prayers are with you all, Love Melissa

How lucky Allie is to have such wonderful parents as the two of you. Your strength is an inspiration. You probably feel like "what strength"?, but it is there. God given strength. What a precious little baby girl you are blessed with. She is just as blessed as the two of you are. May His arms of love surround you and keep you.

Dallas, TX USA - Monday, September 13, 2004 10:28 PM CDT

I am crying, not for Allie, but for her family, friends, and loved ones. My heart just bleeds for them. They are hurting. We all are hurting in some way...all of us who have come to "know" Allie. But for Allie I will be happy. I will smile through my tears, as we all will. Why? Because Allie will no longer be suffering when she gets to Heaven. She will fall asleep and the hand of Jesus will lift her up gently into bliss. She will know nothing but peace and comfort and love. She will live in perfection in Heaven with no aches, pains, hurts, or sorrows.

I will be happy for Allie because she will never know embarassment or shame. She'll never know feelings of guilt or remorse. She'll never be slighted or bullied. She'll never have her heart broken or her trust broken. She'll never be lied to or taken advantage of. She'll never experience raw fear as her parents have. She'll never experience the sorrows that life brings us all from time to time. In all her life Allie has known nothing but pure, perfect love. Her experience of this earth has been one of just that...love at it's deepest. She is so blessed to have the family that she has. They have kindly and lovingly assisted her through her life and will continue to do that right up until the end. For that I will be glad.

Allie has made a giant impact on the world. She has made such an impact that none of us will EVER forget, even if we never really knew her. We will all do better, try harder, pray more often, be more thankful for what we have. Allie, you've done more in your few months than I've done in 30 years. More than most of us in fact. So just know that while we may weep, we're also rejoicing in the happiness you find in Heaven, sweet girl.

Jenny, thank you for sharing this precious baby with the world. She has touched so many people. She was your gift and you have graciously shared her with all of us. That means so much to so many people. Love and prayers to you all......

Jenny,

You are so very strong and have a wonderful attitude. What an inspiration you are to me. I once heard that the Lord gives us children and we should be thankful for the time we have. I am so glad you are cherishing every moment with your precious one. You are an outstanding mother with lots of dignity. I have been following your story from the beginning as I have followed Sam. Dr. Eisenberg assisted in my twin delivery the end of January after a 2 month hospital stay. I believe in the power of prayer and I believe God teaches us tremendously through hard times and beyond. I am committed to praying tonight without ceasing for you and your family. May the Lord bless you. I am so glad you have been blessed with this wonderful angel. Have a peaceful evening. In Him, Amy

What a mixture of emotions I am feeling...I am so sad for you as any fellow parent would be, but I am so blessed by your beautiful daughter's spirit. I will hug my son a little tighter and be increasingly more thankful for the gift of his presence in my life. My prayers for you, Mommy and Daddy are for peace and comfort. Allow God to wrap His loving arms around you and cradle you as your heart breaks. Only He can heal your pain. I know that everyone has prayed for healing...sometimes, death is the ultimate healing...as you have said, Allie will never know hate, only love, and if God brings her home, she will never feel pain again...NEVER! Take comfort in the fact that as believers you will see your precious baby again! I leave you with these words...
"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. Therefore, I have also given him back to the Lord." I Samuel 1:27-28a.
And...claim this verse during your darkest hours...
"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4
We will continue to keep you in our prayers...

I know how you may be feeling. I have lost two babies due to miscarriages. I never had the chance of holding them in my arms, of telling them how much I Loved them, of hearing their cry or laughter. I never had the chance of anything, but to carry them in my tummy for a couple of months. I just wish I would've had those chances. You are so lucky to have Precious Allie in your arms. God lends us his children and only takes Beautiful Angels bak with him. Allie is so special that He wants her with him. I know that what you are going through is so hard that at times you think how can you go on. My life hasn't been easy since we lost our Little Ones but I know I have 2 Angels watching over me. Allie is a very special little girl and you are so lucky to have her. I am now 4 1/2 wks. pregnant and am so scared of what could happen, but I know no matter what I do or don't God has his plan for our Baby.
I pray hard day and night and I will pray for Allie too. Allie is very lucky to have you as her parents. After losing my Babies I get online and read messages that help me get through everyday and I once read this, and it really helped me. "Don't Cry because it's Over, Smile because it Happened." This made me see the good side. Nothing bad comes withour good. We all will Always be here for you if you ever need anything. God Bless You and Give Allie a kiss for me and let her know my 2 Angels will be waiting for her to play with her. My 1st would be 11 months on the 23 and my 2nd would be born on Oct.24, 2004.

I am so sorry, I have been crying every day this week for this beautiful baby, whom I have grown to love like my own son, my baby born on July 1 of this year. I will donate blood and I will donate money to cancer research because of you, Allie. Someday, no one will suffer as you have suffered, because of YOUR life, you have made such a difference!

At first I wasn't going to sign because so many others have expressed the feelings I'm also feeling. But, then I realized how important it probably is for you to know just how many people have been touched by your beautiful daughter's story & by the strength you have shown in the face of the toughest situation parents can face.

Not only have you been lucky to have your daughter, but she has been lucky to have YOU as parents.

Know that I'm thinking of you....

This is the first time I have ever signed your guestbook though I have been following along with you through your journey. Allie is a beautiful, strong little girl who has overcome tremendous obstacles in her short life. You as parents have so much courage, strength and love that I have ever seen in any 2 individuals. You have touched so many hearts and souls within this time. Nationwide people everywhere have witnessed a miracle in Allie and her parents by struggling to overcome this terrible illness. You are very brave for all that you have been through. My family holds you close in our heart and prays for you every night. We hope for the best and keep wishing for a miracle no matter what. You have made so many people cherish and love their little ones just a little more and with that and everything else that has come in your path you are true heroes. Thank you for all that you have done for your family as well as for everyone else.

The Scott Family:
I haven't been following Allie's story for very long, as the link to your website was just given to me about two weeks ago. But, in the short time I have been reading about her, she's deeply touched me. It must take a lot of courage to go through what you're going through now, I can't even imagine it. I truely admire you both, and Allie too, for fighting as long as she has. Allie has also brought joy to my daughter (who's 14 months old), she loves looking at pictures of Allie. She smiles at them, and laughs at them. Not only is Allie touching the lives of adults, but also children, and that's also something to admire & be proud of.

It has been such a long journey for you all. Even at the end of your road you are just as strong for your sweet girl as you were at the beginning. We continue to admire your bravery and love, and certainly hope that Allie is not in much pain. I told Nana that I would love to bring you dinner or whatever after you get home...that may be when you need some more support...Don't think that when you are home that any of us will leave you or forget about your experience. I think that maybe through you, many of us can find ways to help other families, and aid in the helping fight childhood cancer...All cancers for that matter. I told Nana that I had a friend that was just diagnosed...they have just given her 1 year with extreme treatment...she has 4 children...and we are all devasted. This is a crippling disease for SO many...and it seems to be all our jobs to find answers...Allie's memory will live on in all our hearts, and we will all do what we can to help this fight in her name!

All our love, prayers, hugs, to you and everyone on floor 12.

I have never in my 28years wanted to reach out and hold someone as I have wanted to reach out for you Allie. Hugs and kisses. You are so beatiful and one tough little girl! Your mommy and daddy are two very wonderful people. I have learned so much from them. Strength to be the most. When I read your mommys post it brings tears and joy to my heart. You are very loved and you will never be forgotten. Thank you Jenny for getting on every night to share your journey with all of us. It is a rough one indeed. I cant even tell you how much some one so small has touched me and my family. I have two children that I have held on to tighter. You have helped me to see how special life is and how it can change in just seconds. I am sorry that your family is being put through so much. You and your wonderful family will remain in my familys prayers. Allie we love you little one. I love all the beatiful pictures of you.I wish I could just hold you and love on you.

May God Our Lord show you his mercy. I will pray for your little Angel and you her loving parents that you may know peace in your hearts. You are an example to all parents. Your selfless love for your daughter is truly beautiful...it is reflected in Allie's smile. Some one asked,"Why does God do these things?" ....I believe it is to teach the lesser of us, those that are weak, how to be strong, He gives us a model of his extraordinary love to witness and hopefully we cherish and learn from it.....I have. I will hold my children a bit tighter, tell them i love them more often and never forget how special they are in the eyes of Our Heavenly Father. That is a tremendous gift....thank you for having shown us how it is done.

I haven't written to you in a while but your family is CONSTANTLY in my thoughts. My friends and I talk about Allie every day and about how much we love her. I printed some pictures off your site of Allie and pasted them into my planner, and whenever I open it, she's right there smiling at me. I REALLY wanted to come to the candlelight vigil, but couldn't because I had already made a commitment, so I lit a candle in my heart instead. I love you and I miss you all!

I have been following your story but have never signed the guest book until now. I know that nothing I can say will ease the pain you feel but I am compelled to write to you and let you know that I am praying for strenght for you family and that the Lord wrap his arms around you and give you peace. Thirteen years ago, I lost a daughter, not in anyway like your situation but I loved her dearly and did not understand. But now thirteen years later I can honestly say that our God is an awesome God.

By God's grace she is at home until he calls her to his heavenly home. My prayers and love are with you and your beautiful " Angel".

I feel like I know you all as I have read everything and you've made this website so informative. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey in life. I have asked God numerous times for a miracle. If he can not provide one I ask that he not let Allie suffer. Why does God do this? Why.

Dear Scott family,
My heart is breaking for you right now. Words cannot express my sorrow that your family has had to endure such pain. I do want to thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. I believe the world is a better plcae for Allie having been in it - even if only for a short while. Your stories of unconditional love have touched us all. You've also taught us, that the only thing really important in this world is each other - our familes and our friends. Everything else is just stuff. I believe, thanks to you, that we will all choose to live a little differently - not anger so easily over the little things and cherish each and every moment we have. And though we met only in passing at the vigil Saturday night - your family, especially Allie, will always hold a place in my heart.

I hope you are able to find peace.

I know you have plenty of offers - but if there is anything I can do...

You, Allie, and Andrew are all amazing people. You have all touched my heart in the most amazing way. I know in Allies short life she has touched more peoples lives then I have ever touched in all my 24 years. You have an amazing daughter and I am so sorry that you will not get to enjoy her for many more years to come. Though you are correct when you say that you are fortunate to have had her touch your life for the past nine months. I pray that god gives you strength and comfort for the rest of your days and that god let allie come home soon so he can ease her pain. May god bless you always and thank you for sharing your precious daughter with me and the rest of the world she has taught us all through her strength and ya'lls love. Thank you again.

Jenny and Andrew, thank you for sharing the beautiful gift of your daughter with the rest of us--your pain must seem unbearable and I wish there were a way to ease it. Allie has truly made a difference that can't be measured--I will never forget her.

Dear Allie,
My 3 year old daughter, Chloe, asked me to write to you tonight. She said to tell you that she's praying for you and she's sad that you're sick. As a mommy myself, I can't imagine what your parents are feeling right now. You are such an amazing little angel who has touched lives in so many ways. How blessed your parents are to have gotten to spend time with you.

Sincerely,
Stephanie & Chloe

Hello to the Scott Household and all who love and look over Allie Angel. I just wanted to write to tell you that even though I am not a part of your family, and I am a complete stranger to your group, I feel a sense of attachment to little Allie through your writings. I also can feel the love and devotion that you feel and express for her in your journals. The evening senior class of Collin County Community College of Nursing in McKinney has been following your site and we all pray to give you and your loved ones, and especially Allie, the strength and peace that you deserve. We are doing our clinical rotations at MCDH this semester and we have heard about Allie's plight since the beginning of school. I've never seen a more loving and selfless family than the one that you've built. We all send our prayers and love to all of you and we hope for the best possible outcome as soon as God allows. Remember that you are not alone in your pain and when you need a shoulder to cry on or just an ear to tug, someone is always out there to listen and hold you. God Bless you, and God save Allie.
Good night.

Dear Scott Family--I have been following little Allie's story for quite some time. I have a daughter born not too long before Allie and I cannot imagine the pain you are both experiencing. It is every parent's worst fear, yet you live with it every day. I marvel at your strength and your courage to face what life has thrown at you. You are two truly amazing parents. So tonight I join with thousands of others across the globe and pray for your beautiful Allie. I pray God holds all three of you close tonight. May he take away her pain and give you courage.

God Bless you all,

Dear Sweet Allie, Jenny and Andrew
Although we are strangers I am honored to have been let into your lives at such an intimate time. I bought a handpainted giraffe drawer knob from poshtots and will put it on my daughter Grace's closet door. She is 6 days younger than your Allie is, but when she is old enough to understand I'll tell her all about Allie and her strength and courage and when I look at that knob and look into my daughter's eyes I will be reminded of Allie's gift to me. Love, courage, beauty, strength, hope, and grace. Allie will be in my thoughts and prayers, and will remain in my heart forever.

I just made a contribution to the "Allie's Leukemia Fund"...the link to make a donation is down at the bottom of the first page of the website. If everyone who has said they were inspired by Allie's story...everyone who said in this guestbook that Allie's story makes them appreciate their family more...everyone who has a healthy child...if they would take the time to make some sort of donation to this fund, then we could all comfort the Scotts by helping them to not be SLAMMED by bills when they get home. Please contribute and urge others to do so!

Dear Jenny, Andrew & Allie,
I came across your story through a posting on my November 2000 babies playgroup, and was immediately drawn to you all, and your plight. Words can't express how truly sorry I am that you're going through this misery, and how incredible, unfair and outrageous I feel life to be lately. My beautiful, innocent, and 57 years-young father just died on August 7th after a six-month battle with a brain tumor and brain cancer, and I still can't believe that he is actually gone, and that we experienced really happened. The only thing I can say to you is that maybe, somehow, my dad is waiting to welcome your Allie wherever they'll both end up. My own daughter, Abby, was born on March 4th of this year, and my dad only got to know her for the few months that he was well. Maybe they'll find each other and he'll care for her as he would have cared for Abby if he was still here. If that's the case, then that's just one less worry you guys can have- my dad was a tremendous lover of his two granddaughters,, and was a teacher for over 25 years. Again, I'm so sorry that Allie has been through so much in her short life, but I'm glad for the two of you to have been brightened by here. Wishing you comfort, somehow less pain, and ultimately the ability to remember the good things instead of the lousy ones.

God Bless you both.

I pray for you so often and want you to know how much you have touched my life. You are a brave little girl and I feel lucky to have gotten the chance to read your story. You are loved by so many and such a miracle little girl.

Dear beautiful sweet baby Allie:

I have never met you, yet I feel I have. You are such a special girl. You mean so much to me, and have touched me deeper than anyone will ever know. You have shown me what it is to be strong. You are so brave. I know that you are hurting right now - I wish we could make you feel better.

You are so lucky to have your mommy and your daddy. They love you so much! They are very brave and strong as well. I'm so glad you are surrounded by such wonderful, loving family and friends.

If you need to go now, baby girl, we understand. Your mommy and daddy here on Earth will be okay. We will miss you, but we know that you will not be in any more pain. You will go meet your Daddy in Heaven. He will take care of you, and will take all the pain away. You will never be sad - you will never hurt. Ever again.

I am praying that you will get well, but I know you may have to leave us. That's okay - we'll all be okay. We are so lucky to have you in our lives. You have done so much for us, and have shown many of us what true love is, what true strength is - no matter how big or small we are.

For me, when I see a giraffe, I'll think of you; when I see my daughter blow raspberries, I will think of you. I already do. I will think of how strong you are, and how sweet you are.

Allie, I am so lucky to have shared even a small part of your life. You have a wonderful family and wonderful friends. They have so much love for you, and they show us what love is.

I wish comfort and peace for you, baby girl. God bless you.

Love,

Dearest Jenny, Andrew, and of course, beautiful Allie,
My heart goes out to you, in your hour of need. I read your latest post, and I just wept. I just can't imagine what you are going through, but I just feel that the Lord is all around you...the angels are tenderly watching Allie. Words cannot ease your pain, but please know that there are thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people out there praying for Allie, for you all, for that last glimmer of a miracle, for no pain and suffering. Your love for your child, and the dignity you have shown in the face of tremendous adversity, is unmatched. Your child has changed more than a few lives...mine included. I never dreamed I would be racing home to check in on Allie, Sam, and Fieldon. These names are at the top of my prayers daily, along with a leukemia patient at Johns Hopkins named Megan Leukowski (she is a teenager). Though we have never met, each of you are a part of my prayer life. As your lives continue on, you will not be forgotten. We will continue to pray for you.
God Bless Allie, Jenny, Andrew.
Sincerely,

Jenny, Andrew, family, and dear sweet Allie,
I think of you all many times throughout my day, I have shared your story with anyone who will hear it. I cry for you often, yet I know you all have found a love, no matter how short of time, that many do not find in a hundred years. Allie, you obviously were sent to this Earth for a reason, and that reason you have surpassed by a thousand miles. The lives you have touched will be changed forever, and the love you created shall never be lost. Many blessings to you, for that you may not hurt any longer, and show us the strentgh needed to carry on. If only every child on Earth could be as loved as you have been, the world would be a much better place. Kisses to you my sweet Allison, and to you, her family another shoulder to cry upon, a hand to hold, and an ear to listen. May you find peace within this, you are undoubtedly the strongest people I have ever known.

Andrew, Jenny and Allie,
What can I say?! I have prayed so hard for Allie to be healed and it breaks my heart to know she isn't going to be. I don't know you, but Thank you for sharing Allie's journey with me/the world. I see my boys in a different light.
I pray for Allie to have a peaceful passing back to the arms of a Loving Heavenly Father. Please know there was a purpose for Allie to be here on earth and how her life has probably touched millions world wide. There is a plan and it is God's plan. Find the LDS missionaries for they have a message you need to hear to help you at this difficult time and how you can be with Allie again-forever, not just until Death.
Thank you for sharing. God Bless you all with peace, comfort and whatever else you need at this time.

When tomorrow starts without me
And Im not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didnt get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love

But as I turned to walk away
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didnt want to die.

I had so much to live for
So much left yet to do
It seemed almost impossible
that I was leaving you

I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday
Just even for a while
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile

But then I fully realized
That this could never be
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me

And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did
My heart was filled with sorrow

But when I walked through heavens gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From his great golden throne

He said "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past
But here life starts anew

I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last
And since each days the same way
Theres no longing for the past

You have been so faithful
So trusting and so true
Though there were times you did some things
You knew you shouldnt do

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free
So wont you come and take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here, in your heart.

I just went through your sight about Allie and read that they didnt think she would live much longer and this poem popped right into my head.. Soo I thought you might like it....
You are in my thoughts and prayers and soo is little Allie....

Your sweet baby girl has taught us all much more than you could have ever taught her. I have learned to be thankful for what I have, for the time I have and for the love that surrounds me each day. As you stated, she will go out loved, just as she came in, but the difference is the incredible size of the love now. Even though I am hundreds of miles away, and a total stranger to you all, your family and the other families of the 12th floor have totally changed the way I see my son, and taught me the meaning of love. You taught me that everything that happens in the world isn't nice and perfect, but to be thankful for what I do have. Thank you for letting so many strangers into your lives. Please give Baby Allie a kiss from all the families of the March 2004 Birth Club, and an extra one as a thank you from me.
You have a very special angel who will follow you forever. God bless you and your family, Allie. We will remember you forever.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
--Psalm 23

The LORD bless thee and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

A Parents Lullaby

Hush my child, please don't cry...
I know you have suffered...
I don't know why.

You know if I could have...
I would have taken your place.
Then all of this suffering,
You wouldn't have faced.

But since that's not possible,
All I can give is my best...
To hold you and comfort you...
To give you rest.

Hush my child, please don't cry,
For every tear you shed...
It causes me to sigh,
"I know you have suffered, I don't know why."

My heart is broken, does anyone know ny pain?
To see my daughter suffer...
It seems such a shame.
Does anyone hear me? Please call my name.

Then out of the darkness, came a bright light...
As my heavenly Father came into sight
And with a voice so comforting and warm...
He called me by name, as He held me in his arms.

Hush my child, please don't cry...
I know you have suffered and
I know why.

But more important, I understand...
You see, I watched my son suffer for the sins of man.
As He hung on the cross to take your place...
The pain was so great I had to turn my face...

But because of the gift that came through his death
I can hold you and comfort you...
I can give you rest.

So hush my child, please don't cry...
I loved you so much, I sent my Son to die.

No one should ever have to suffer the pain of what you and your precious Allie has been through. But her life was a blessing to many. Allie has taught us how to love and cherish every minute of every day. I know that i also treasure my time with my children even more than I did before because of your story. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please give Allie a kiss for me. God please give her a pain free peaceful passing into heaven. She deserves it. God bless and Amen.

As you can clearly see, the life of Allie has deeply touched so many of us who have never met her. As you wrote today in your entry, she will leave this world knowing that she is immensely loved! As a parent, that is the one thing I want my daughter to learn. Both of you have done exactly what parents are supposed to do...love their child like nothing else. Allie will be in the presense of God very soon, and her pain and suffering will be over. I will be praying for you, Jenny and Andrew, that only that you will be able to grieve together for your daughter, but that you will always remember how much you love her. I will pray that the strength you have shown in these last months will continue to be with you and that you will use that strength to hold each other up. Your great courage has reminded me that things don't always work out as we plan, and that we need to try and find the good in everything that happens, no matter how much it hurts. Thank you so much for sharing Allie with us and for opening yourselves up to the thousands of people who read your website every day.

Take this child in Your arms
And never let her go

I have written a poem about Allie and I would like to share it with you it is called RELIEF:::So tiny and fragile, beautiful and sweet/Allie has all ten fingers, and ten toes on her feet/but as she started to grow, she got so big and strong/then she started to get sick, they found something that didn't belong/barely reaching nine months, and hope is seeming to fade/it seems instead of a child, on December 17th an angel was made/it's so hard to understand, this concept, I can't grasp/there is no way of knowing, which breath might be her last/i'll try to look a this, as her escape and her relief/but never will i forget, that in angels I believe

you are an amazing family and i only hope that i can be half the parent to my son that you two are being for Allie.

I know that I have started walking a little slower, looking up a little more, hugging a little tighter, and VOICING my love for others since joining you in this experience. May God give you supernatural peace to handle the inevitable... Allie's homegoing. I know your hearts will scream with pain, but I see Allie's face GRINNING from ear to ear as Jesus dances with her in His arms. "And the greatest of these is love...."

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He who died,
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! loves me still,
When I'm very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He will stay,
Close beside me all the way;
He's prepared a home for me,
And some day His face I'll see.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

You've been in my thoughts and prayers all day. I keep looking for Allie updates and am hoping with all my might that you are given peace and that Allie's pain leaves her. She's an angel - that's all there is to it. She has changed the world more than most people can in 80, 90, or 100 years on this Earth. Your family is a blessing to thousands upon thousands of people. I'm just so sorry that so much pain has come along with it. My prayer tonight is that God brings his angel home peacefully and heals your hearts.

She will live on in your hearts forever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with so many people and for reminding us what is most important.

I HAVE READ YOUR POSTING TODAY AND CRIED. I KNEW THIS TIME WOULD COME BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SEE IT. I FEEL SAD FOR YOU (JENNY AND ANDREW), BUT AT THE SAME TIME HAPPY FOR PRECIOUS ALLIE. SHE WILL KNOW NO MORE PAIN. SHE WILL BE FREE OF THIS CANCER MONSTER. SHE WILL RUN FREE AND HAPPILY. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. I KNOW I WILL REMEMBER HER ALWAYS. EMILY IS SAD THAT ALLIE IS GOING ON TO BE AN ANGEL WITH GOD. SHE WISHES THAT SHE COULD HAVE MET YOUR STRONG LITTLE GIRL. JUST KNOW THAT GOD WILL TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF HER. ALSO KNOW THAT MY PRAYERS ARE STILL WITH YOU AND WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. I WISH WE COULD'VE GOTTEN A MIRACLE HERE. I GUESS JUST HAVING HER HERE ON EARTH FOR 9 MONTHS IS MIRACLE ENOUGH.

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie,
I have followed your story, as heartbreaking as it is, I can't stop reading it. My husbands asked me why I read it everynight, is it to depress me, he asks. Well, no, but I feel I have learned soo many valuable life lessons since finding your website. Each night I am moved to tears at the sheer irony of little Allie learning new things as she should, and at the same time, her body letting go...it's so sad.

I find myself being more patient. I find myself hugging my children closer. I find myself praying more than ever. All because of this little girl! Thank you so much, and God bless.

PLEASE let Allie go peacefully, as much as it hurts me to say....

Dearest Baby Allie,

You are a courageous, beautiful little girl who has brought so much love to more people than anyone could count. Your parents have been truly blessed to have you - and you, them. As your mother wrote, your story really has changed the way people love their families. May you have no more pain, Allie. All of this love will carry you on.

Our son just turned 3 months today. I only recently heard of your website and want to extend our thoughts and prayers to you and your family! Your story has made me remember how truly blessed we are to have our son. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with all of us!!

My two and a half year old cousin passed away from AML and ALL four years ago just two weeks before his 3rd birthday. Leukemia is a horrible disease that has taken far too many babies from their loving families. I hope someday a cure can be found to erradicate it forever so that more families do not have endure this horrible pain! God Bless you all!!

For the first time in my life I don't know what to say. I can only sit and cry for you and what you are going through. I will end by saying that the world thanks you for Allie. In a world with so much hate and violence, you have shown us love and tenderness. You and your family will influence the way people live and love for a long time and I can speak for everyone when I say thank you.

Jenny --

You are a wise mommy. Your post today about Allie never knowing "hate" reflects such a positive outlook on your situation. You are quite the inspiration!

My grandmother, who passed away a year ago and stayed with many family and friends during their passing, always told me "you have to tell them to follow the light". I, too, told her this just before she made her way to the other side. She was a wise mother just like you.

I will be praying for and thinking of your family tonight as I have every night since learning of your story. Thank you once again for sharing. You have let Allie into so many people's hearts. She will stay there forever even after she's gone from this world.

God Bless!

Dear Scott Family,
I have been following Allie's story for a short while but I can tell you that it has touched me like nothing ever before...My heart truly goes out to your whole family...8 months ago I came close to losing one of my twin boys to Strep B Pnemonia, he stopped breathing and was life flighted...At that time I felt so alone and the thought of losing that little boy scared me to death..I know hearing that doesnt help you...At first it was hard to have faith in God...I questioned why it was happening to me...With the grace of God, many prayers and me getting my faith back, he managed to pull out of it...I learned that everything happens for a reason...Allie's story breaks my heart and I can't imagine what you are going through right now...But she is truly an Angel sent from up above, she is too good for this world and is just returning home..You are in my thoughts and my prayers...I do believe in miracles, but God has a wonderful plan for little Allie and I just wish no more pain for your little baby girl..

God Bless, Take care and you are all in our thoughts and prayers,
Nicol and Family~

Kelly and I have been faithful in our prayers for Allie. Our entire church is praying for her. I know we are just 2 of many thousands who have bonded with her and fallen in love with her sweet tender spirt. She has caused many of us to evaluate our own life and our own strength and our own personal comittment to love,faith and hope. But as scripture teaches love is the greatest gift and she has and is the picture of love. She has touched more lives today than most could ever hope for. Our prayers will be with her until Jesus comes and either grants us our miracle or you see her spirit ascend unto heaven. I've been blessed through your child. Thank you for sharing her life with me.

Lord, please take this pain away from sweet Allie and give her parents comfort during this very difficult time. Lord, he all of us to remember that life is so short and to be thankful for everyday. Thank you Jesus, for bringing me to to this family--even though I will never "meet" them. As Allie comes to you Jesus, please wrap your arms around her family. Thank you Jesus, for your love and faithfulness to us--even when we don't understand why these kinds of things happen. In Your Name I Pray, Amen.

Fredericton, NB Canada - Monday, September 13, 2004 6:40 PM CDT

In all of the praying and begging God that I've been doing for Allie, it occured to me that Allie's life is so oddly similar to Christ's life. In all that we've been told and read about Allie, the lives that have been changed, strangers connecting with one another and loving like never before, her purity and innocence, her perfect little smile and let's not forget her strength, the sacrifice that Jenny and Andrew have had to make-sharing her story publicly but even more so GIVING her life to God and relinquishing all control. Call me strange, but I think I've just witnessed a modern day Christ, right before my eyes.

I will echo what so many people have said, that my life, especially the manner in which I treat my husband, children and those that I love will never, ever be the same. This is the saddest but best story of love and strength that I will ever know.

Thank you Allie, Jenny and Andrew for changing my life.

With love and hope-

Toni

Your baby girl, and the love you obviously have for her, has touched my family so deeply. She is indeed an angel who has taught so many people so many things: compassion, love, dignity.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing Allie's life. Your angel will be a part of me for always, and my Alison will always know that there's an angel in heaven with the same name who was so strong, but God needed her home with him.

Words truely cannot express my sadness. I'm so sorry for what you are going though with beautiful Allison. Life is just so unfair. You hear about cancer all the time, but for the first time in my life, it feels like I'm experiencing it first hand. I cannot begin to imagine how much pain you must be in. I cry a couple of times everyday after visiting all the message boards. For a family I have never met...I feel like I know you all...especially Allison. You all have touched my heart dearly.

Like Jesus said in Luke 18:15-19 "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

"J'ai du sang dans mes songes, un petale seche
Quand des larmes me rongent que d'autres ont versees
La vie n'est pas etanche, mon ile est sous le vent
Les portes laissent entrer les cris meme en fermant

Dans un jardin l'enfant, sur un balcon des fleurs
Ma vie paisible ou j'entends battre tous les coeurs
Quand les nuages foncent, presages des malheurs
Quelles armes repondent aux pays de nos peurs?

S'il suffisait qu'on s'aime, s'il suffisait d'aimer
Si l'on changeait les choses un peu, rien qu'en aimant donner
S'il suffisait qu'on s'aime, s'il suffisait d'aimer
Je ferais de ce monde un reve, une eternite"

What an incredible gesture --- including us in Allie's transition to heaven.

We, like you, will not be able to breathe until she is safely on her way, pain-free; her wonderful work here done, and ready to rest awhile.

Then off to play and run and laugh with the angels!

Of course, all the while keeping those beautiful blue eyes on Mommy and Daddy, and helping them through their tears.

Andrew and Jenny,
You were handpicked to be Allie's parents, and she was hand picked to be your baby. She will always be your baby. Her purpose on earth has been fulfilled. She has taught strangers how to love stronger. She has completed your hearts. She will live strong through all of us. I do believe we will each have our own way of remembering your angel. Some people may share her birthday, or birthday month. Some other's may share her same name. For me, I look at my daughter's blue eyes and will forever remember your sweet Allie. Knowing she will be watching over us from above gives me a sense of peace in my heart. She is in good hands in heaven. And we, here on earth, will be even more blessed to have her watch over us. Thank you for sharing your sweet angel with us. We love you, Scott family.

Dear Jenny, andrew, and Allie,

I just got back my internet service. It wa gone when we had Hurricane Frances. A friend on mine in Colorado who reads your website religiously called me and kept me updated to this point. I thank her in this message for calling me and letting me know what was going on.

I pray for Allie to have an easy time. I pray for you all daily.

Love,

Dear Jenny, Andrew and, of course, beautiful baby Allie:

You've heard this so many times, but I am another "stranger" who has been profoundly touched by Allie's story. I first heard about your family on a message board for December 2003 babies. My little girl Rowan is three days younger than Allie.

I check in with the three of you every day; I breathe a sigh of relief on the good days, and I weep quietly on the days that aren't so good. And every day, I am awed by the love that the three of you share. Allie's life may not be long, but the quality is what matters, and in love, her life is unmatched. You've inspired me with my own children, and I can't thank you enough for that.

I'm not religious, but I do consider myself spiritual. I keep hoping for a miracle, but above all, I hope for Allie to be happy and peaceful and free of pain. Few people have made the kind of impact that she has in her nine months--as we all hope for a miracle, everyone can see that she is a miracle herself.

Blessings to you all.

Jenny, Andrew, and Alllie, My every thought is with you as you face the time ahead as the loving family you are. How fortunate Allie is to never have experienced anything but love and how fortunate all of us who are following your journey are to have had that love spread to us in a way many of us were incapable of finding on our own. Allie's life is an inspiration to us all; she has done more good in her short life than most who are given the gift of time. The Lord is with you; hold fast to Him and to one another. Thank you, Jenny, for allowing me to be a part of your life. I love you.

I saw this quote in yesterday's Dallas Morning News & immediately thought of Allie. It was actually an article about the movie/play "Steel Magnolias". I think it fits perfectly.

"I'd rather have 30 seconds of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."

I can not thank you all enough for sharing your girl with the rest of the world. I've said it a million times already, but my life will forever be changed because of sweet baby Allie.

We love you!!

I do not have the words to convey what I am feeling for your family at this time. I can only pray that you will find peace when your beautiful angel finds peace. Allie has touched so many people world wide and the love you have shown her has made each one of us parents know what true unconditional love is like. The bond you and Andrew share is like no other I have ever seen. I am thankful I frst read your story in the Dallas Morning News that led me to your web site and that of Sam and Fieldon. I now hug my daughter tighter and cherish my husband more then I ever have before. I will not say I even understand what you are going through or experiencing because I don't. I do know there are many people praying for you and your family and we all will continue to do so. Allie has changed our lives forever and we will always be thankful for that. May god give you the peace you need to make it through this most difficult time and may He also give you the understanding to know why this happened to your precious Allie. With all my prayer and continued love and support....

I have only been reading your updates the past couple weeks. I am sadden that this is happening to you, Andrew and your precious Allie. I know God will get you all through this and Allie will be well and know no pain when she is in His arms. And you will have a guardian angel watching over you at all times. You are holding up better than I would, I know you are hurt and cry and feel helpless, but you are looking at this in a brighter light, and you are making this easier on Allie. You are a wonderful mom, I do not know you personally, but I feel I do through this site. I know Allie is grateful and blessed to have you and Andrew as her parents.
God bless you all

Dearest Allie, your life has not been in vain, as is evidenced in this guestbook. There are thousands of people out there hanging on to your dear mother's every word, and we are all saddened, but every one of us are better people because of you. I love my children fiercely, but even now, I am a better parent because of you. You will continue to be an insipration to many and an angel to all. Thank you, sweet little Allie, for gracing into my life. May God's angels light your way to heaven and keep your spirit in the hearts of your Mommy and Daddy, who will always love you so dearly.

Jenny and Andrew, I know that there isn't anything I can say to bring comfort to your hearts, but know that for every one person who has signed this guestbook, there are a hundred others who read and send you strength that never have. I thank you both for being so open with the world. The pure love that you two have for each other and for Allie has resounded through the hearts of many; you are both angels on earth. Many hugs and much love to you and your families.

This song keeps going though my head as I think about sweet Allie today. My the Lord comfort and bless you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers

Fly

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Sung By: Celine Dion

Jenny, You already know this, but I'm going to tell you again. There are so many of us that never know what we are meant to do in life. Our little angel Allie was sent here to teach others to love. She has been nothing but a blessing to each and every life that she has touched, and she has touched so many. She has made me a better mother, a better wife, and a better person. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. Sharing your story with the world has shown not only what an amazing little girl you have, but what an amazing mother and father she has! I love you, Andrew, and especially little Allie. I pray for a painless, love filled passing, and a wonderful celebration of her life for as long as we all live

WE LOVE YOU!!

Though my heart is so sad for Allie's pain, I am so happy that she's had such a loved life. She truly is a lucky girl in the way that she's known nothing but love in her short life.

I just wanted to let you know that no matter what happens, we will stand by you. Please keep writing; we want to hear you. We've grown to love your family so much and we always want to know how you are doing.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we are sending so much love and many hugs. We hope so desperately that Allie feels no more pain.

I have heard about you from a message board that I am a memeber of before but found you again on Frisco Online today. I am so moved by your story of Allie's days and disease. I am so very sorry that you have to go through this and that she has to go through this. I have a 14 month old son & a 5 year old daughter and can't imagine the pain you must be feeling. Because of Allie I will hug my children a little tighter tonight and pray a little harder for you and your family. May Allie's pain be lifted soon.

The Colony, TX USA - Monday, September 13, 2004 5:24 PM CDT

I have been praying for you all since July. I read your story, and I feel your pain. I am a mother and my heart breaks for you. I pray that your little angel feels no more pain, but that you feel no more pain as well. One of the hardest things is watching your child leave you. Remember she is not dying, she is just passing on to, a better life. I pray that God blesses you with Peace, Love and Comfort. I have an Angel in heaven waiting to play with your sweet Angel. Mark 10:14, Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Rest knowing that she will be in the best hands immaginable. Though you will greatly miss her, she will feel no pain, and feel no sadness. For her this time will only be short, because eternity is sooo much longer. You will be with her again before you know it, with your sweet angel waiting for you. Oh what a joyful day that will be. Though we do not understand why she is going, God does. For her he will take away all pain. She has known only love, and will never have to know aything else. How blessed we are to be mothers to Real True Angels. Allie we will miss you sweet baby girl. Tell my sweet baby that I love and miss her too. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you!

I will light a candle now for your little girl. I pray FERVENTLY that she is freed soon from her pain. I will always be touched by her story, and her memory will stay with me forever. Jenny, I told your Dad I hug my kids harder because of Allie -- even when they are being bratty. Reading this guestbook, you can see what a profound positive impact Allie has had on people all over the world. For ANYONE, that is a wonderful legacy. That it is the legacy of an 8-month old is especially remarkable. Allie, you are a little bit of Heaven on earth. We are thankful for your life.

Allie,

You have accomplished more as a baby than many do in an entire lifetime. You are so lucky to have your wonderful parents, as they are lucky to have had you shine light into their lives. You have inspired me and thousands of others to change their lives in subtle ways.

I will be walking the Baltimore Light the Night Walk on Oct. 22 in your honor. I have already raised $460 with my goal of at least $1000. I will be thinking of you that night and hope that you will be in peace.

Thank you so much for sharing your precious little girl with us. I feel so much love and emotion for her it is overwhelming. You are the most incredible parents. God definitely chose the 2 best people to care for Allie on earth. She is so fortunate to have only known unconditional love every day of her life. My heart just aches for you.
I truly wish I could have known you and Allie personally.

Allie, you are the bravest little girl I have ever known. You have inspired so many people and have made the world a better place. May you rest peacefully and may your pain and suffering be replaced with comfort and peace. Look out for your mommy and daddy from the comfort of God's arms. Little baby, you are my hero.

Dear Scott Family,
I found out about precious Allie not long ago, but already have had my heart broken for you all. I have prayed, and asked many I know to pray your family. I, at times have not been certain what to pray, mainly for a miracle, or at least for no more pain. I hae even had my 2 year old pray for her. Thought maybe a childs prayers for another child would be more effective.
I lost a dear friend a few years ago to cancer, watched her go thru similar things that Allie has experienced. She finally passed away the day before thanksgiving 2000. I have asked God to have my friend Holly waiting to meet Allie when she gets to heaven. Holly has always loved children, and they share some similar experiences.
I wish there was more I could do, as I am sure many other people feel that way.
I also pray for You and Andrew, Jenny. Once the time does come, and Allie passes, I pray that God gives you peace, rest, and a quiet mind. Sometimes it is after everything is over that it can all cave in.
May God bless you all, and know that not only do your family and friends love little Allie. Many, many "strangers" do as well.

Jenny and Andrew

You continue to amaze me with your strength. May this time continue to be a celebration of Allie's life. You have given her nothing but love...unconditionally. What a wonderful gift to give your baby girl...she will NEVER know hate.

We continue to think and pray for an easy passing and for Andrew and you to get through this difficult time.

Scott Family,
I know nothing I say will make you feel better! I too lost a little girl, it was last year to Trisomy 18(chromosome disorder). Allie will soon be in a better place, and I am so sorry that it is not at home with her loving family. She has touched so many peoples lives in her short little life and she is one amazing little girl! I wish we all could have a life like Allie: meaning we only knew the love and laughter of our family & friends. Watching your child fight for life takes so much out of you. Don't worry, Allie will make sure God give you plenty of strength to get through this. I just wanted to share a poem with you that really helps me on the days I miss my little angel:

"Letter from Heaven"
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing to you from heaven. Here, I dwell with God above. There's no more tears or sadness, here is eternal love. Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight. Remember that I am with you, every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me, and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on the list was to watch and care for you. When you lie in bed at night and the days' chores are put to flight, God and I are close to you...in the middle of the night.

When you are thinking of my life on earth, you are only human and it is bound to bring tears. But remember, do not be aftraid to cry, because it does relieve some pain.....there are no flowers unless there is rain.

I wish that I could tell you what God has planned, but if I were able to, you probably wouldn't understand. One thing is for certain: my life on earth is over, but I'm closer to you now than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead for us to climb, but together we can do this, by taking one day at a time. Always keep this in mind.....as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help someone who is in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain," and I can be content in knowing as I passed along the way.....I made somebody smile and it was worthwhile! So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low - just lend a hand to pick them up as you go.

When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, remember I am walking in your footsteps, only one half step behind. When it is your time to go from that body and be set free, I'll be waiting for you...because you'll be coming home to me.

I pray for a your family during this difficult time! Giant HUGS coming your way! We will all miss Sweet Allie, but we will never forget!

The only thing I can think to write during this difficult time is that you and your family are in my prayers. I certainly cannot say that I understand your pain, but take comfort in the promise that God does. From a verse in Matthew,"Come to me all ye who are weary, I will give you peace."
Lean on him and his promises. I pray that your baby will soon be free from pain and rest in God's arms. I pray that God will comfort you and sustain you.
Love,

I pray that you find Peace when Allie finds Peace. I know that I did when I lost my father. I was with him too. It is harder and easier at the same time if that makes sense. I found peace knowing that he was no longer in pain and felt comfortable enough to leave us here on earth to join his relatives that went before him...I have to tell you an experience i had with my dad during the final hours. He saw a Woman and asked me who she was. (There was no woman of the human form in the room with us. Later a man came for him and he asked me who that man was and pointed.No human man was with us) That was very comforting to me and I feel very confident that Mother Mary and Jesus himself was there to pass him over.
So In your final hours I suggest you watch for little signals that someone is in the room with her to help her cross over, even if it is a faint smile or a startled look. These things in the end brought me tremendous strength and blessing in the passing of my daddy. Your little Angel will be missed by All...Rene (Staci Cook's Julianna's Aunt)

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and sweet beautiful angel Allie,
I am so sad after reading today's journal entry that I could barely type right now. As I read Jenny's closing I heard the song "She will be Loved" by Maroone 5 and couldn't believe what perfect timing it was for that song to come on. I am praying to God that Allie could have a miracle to keep her here on Earth...she has touched so many lives that it would be very hard to live without seeing that beautiful angelic face on my computer every day! I never go to sleep at night without looking at your website it's one of the last things I do before I go to bed every night. It almost feels as though you all are part of my family and though we may never meet I have a very special place in my heart for you:)

Jenny & Andrew,
I checked Allie's update on Friday as I sat in a hotel room literally crying for an hour. Then I checked again on Saturday morning and wept again for an hour before I went out. I am crying again and I can't stop. I don't even know your little Allie but I hurt for her. I am angry!!! I mean really angry, I don't know who I am angry at but I am. I don't understand why Allie has had to suffer through this disease and pain and she hasn't even been able to experience life yet.

I love the picture of Allie touching Andrew's face and holding her pink Jerry. My God I can't imagine what Andrew and you are going through. The hardest part for me is to imagine what she must think??......she must always wonder why she hurts or why these people keep coming in and doing these tests on her. WHY WHY WHY?????

I have a candle lit for her today since I didn't get to light one the other night. I felt a little uplifted when I read your post this morning because she was awake yesterday for 5 hours and playing I know she was agitated but Jenny said she looked better,no fever, no rash. I guess that's just part of the cancer though, it's seems very up and down. I just keep hoping and praying for a miracle. I am walking in the Light the Night walk for Allie on September 23rd here in Memphis, TN and will continue to take donations for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

If she does pass on to be in heaven with our god then
May Allie go in peace and painlessly knowing that her mommy and daddy love her so very much and that thousands of people that had never met her were touched by a beautiful angel!!! Fly Allie, Fly!!!!

I know she isn't and You are the ones that will have to deal with the pain and my life will go on. I pray for your family every day. I have said over a million prayers for Allie. Jenny, hold comfort in knowing that your dad is waiting for her in heaven and will keep her safe until you one day meet again. God bless your family and I pray that Allie will pass peacfully with much less pain.

Jenny,

As the daughter of a cancer survivor, I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I spent three weeks with my Mother at M.D. Anderson due to an encapsulated spot on her lower liver lobe. I was able to meet many people who were affected by this awful disease in the many different stages of growth. After my Mother's surgery, we found that she was going to survive due to being able to remove all of the cancer. Throughout our entire stay, I encountered people of all ages, races, and creeds to determine that this awful disease does not discriminate. It is now eight years later and my Mother is till CANCER FREE! After all of this.......We just need a cure, so sweet, little girls like your daughter, do not have to encounter or worry about the devastation. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel honored to know that there is one more angel in this world who brought lots of love and a BEAUTIFUL SMILE in such a small amount of time. Be strong, little Allie, and know your parents will be okay. Keep a watch over all of us until we are able to join you in such a magnificent place, in the arms of other angels.

Take care,
Michelle

I learned of Allie's fight just this morning on an internet group I belong to. I have spent my entire work day reading every single word you have written in your journal. I have laughed and cried; I have ached for you as I have read your story today. Your journey has touched me in a way I can't explain - almost as if we are somehow connected. As you go through your darkest days, I hope you have comfort knowing of the lives that you (and Allie) have touched and the awareness you have raised for the importance of cancer research. I sit here typing -- wearing my "livestrong" bracelet -- and praying for peace for you. Your strength and capacity to love is inspiring.

I have signed your guestbook before, and I have been so touched by your story. I found your website thru a scrapbooking page, I can't remember which one it was. Your precious angel is so pretty, and so sweet. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as so is Sam and the Ormond family. These sweet babies have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I started on your story. I pray that you have peace thru this trial of your life.

At a time when most would want every drop of their baby for themselves, you have opened your hearts and shared your sweet girl with the world. Thank you for reminding us how precious our babies are and to cherish every moment. I think you were right when you wrote that you have held an angel. I truly believe that the Lord sent Allie to earth to remind us all how to love in a terrible time in our history. Jenny and Andrew, you were chosen to be Allie's parents, what a wonderful gift.

We pray for you all daily.

Dear Allie,
Please be strong for your Mommy and Daddy. They love you more than words can describe. May your journey into His arms be filled with immeasurable peace and joy. And do not be sad, for within a blink of an eye, they will hold you once more. Don't fret over their tears of love for you. You will soon know all about the Creator's love for you. So, sweet precious little Allie, take that step of courage. Another progression in this journey we call life. You have fullfilled your mission here on earth. May you be embraced in your mother's arms at the end of this journey. May you feel her warm kisses. May you feel the security of your father's strong, warm arms. So sleep, little princess. We all eagerly await to see for our own eyes what you are about to embark on. Fly, and earn your wings. You have touched all of our lives here on earth. We all hold our precious little ones tighter. We give our own children longer kisses, sweeter hugs, and speak softer because of you. God be with you till we all may meet at Jesus' feet.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
I haven't posted here before. I heard of your story very early on in May. I have a Dec 2002 and April 2004 babies. I am saddened to read what this has unfolded to be. It was not what any of us wanted. I prayed for you and Allie. I can't believe this! God has plenty of angels. But I guess Allie was needed up there than here more. I know that gives you no comfort. You need her more than anyone; here with you. If only we can see more than just the 180 degree perspective of the 360 degrees that God can see. There is a song that I think you need to hear, called "I Promise" by Cheri Potter.
You can hear it (bad recording) on a video tribute I made for ^Chris^ from the Dec 2002 board that was lost to SIDS March 2003. I think it fits with your family even better. Here's the lyrics:

"I PROMISE"
Cheri Potter

I hold you in my arms right now
I can't believe it's true
I never thought I'd see the day
That I'd be losing you

I hope with all my heart that when
You look into my face
You know I would give anything
If I could take your place

Chorus:
And I promise you that I will not
Forget the way you smile
I promise that I will remember you
And if someone can hold a place
Deep within my heart
I promise that it will be you
______

I look into your eyes right now
And wipe away a tear
The pain will soon be gone for good
The final moments near

So close your eyes and hold my hand
And dream of what will be
When heaven's gates are opening
And Jesus' face you see

Chorus:
And I promise you that I will not
Forget the way you smile
I promise that I will remember you
And if someone can hold a place
Deep within my heart
I promise that it will be you
______

And though you'll soon be gone
I know one day I'll see
Your smiling face again
Looking down at me

You can hear it here under the videos and "Chris' Video":

http://gabrielelijahs.aboutmybaby.com/index.pl

I am so saddened over what you are losing, yet joyous over what you've had with Allie. She could not of had any better parents than the two of you. May God wrap his comforting arms around you as you send your angel upwards. I will continue to pray for your comfort and Allie's.

Sweet Allie I think that your work here is done
the time is now near to go play in the sun
with Sophies galore and freedom from pain
to swing in the breeze and dance in the rain.

An angel on Earth you seemed for a while,
now heaven will glow with the light of your smile.
And you can watch over your mom and your dad
Give them hope, help them through, make them so glad
That you are theirs forever.

Godspeed baby girl. Your mama and daddy love you more than anything in the whole universe and don't want you to be in any more pain. There are lots of grandmas and grandpas waiting to love on you where you are going.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and sweet angel Allie

Your story has inspired me to cherish every moment that we have with our loved ones and I pray that Allie passes peacefully without too much pain. In the movie " Steal Magnolias" when Sally Field's character loses her adult daughter to diabetes she states what a lucky mother she is because she was here to watch this beautiful girl come into this world and she was with her with she left. I hope those words can comfort you at this difficult time. My heart goes out to you all and your loved ones.

I learned about your story in August from Baby Center and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and you little angel Allie. Being that I live in NJ it was impossible for me to attend the candlelight vigil. I was there in spirit and did attend mass on Sunday and lit a candle for Allie then. My dd was born in May of 03 and she looks alot like Allie. I have posted signs where I work to let people know the importance of blood donating and we are having a blood drive in Allies honor on Friday 9/17. The blood will be going to our local hospital but in Allies name. I know I am far away but if there is ANYTHING I can do , you just name it! God Bless You, Andrew, and ALWAYS Allie!

Just a quick letter to let you know we love you very much, I want you to know my family and I are praying for you everyday. You are such a sweet, precious little angel.

I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said already. Many people (including our family) have been praying so hard for a life saving miracle for her, but I think she IS the miracle, "God's" way of saying, "I have shared my most precious of angels with you so that you can know how much you truly have to be greatful for"...
Thank you for sharing your darling Allie with the world! I now pray that God may grant you, Jennifer, Andrew and family, the strength to survive this most difficult of times.
Lots of Love, Hugs and Prayers

God Bless You all - sweet Allie, you have touched the WORLD in ways you are too young to comprehend. May the pain subside and may you know how very loved you really are. You have helped me to slow down and appreciate every minute of every day. I am so thankful to your wonderful parents for sharing you with everyone.

Many prayers and hugs to all of you.

Jenny and Andrew, my heart is burdened with sadness and I'm sitting here at work with my door closed and tears rolling down my face. May God give you the strength to get through these trying times.

Sweet Allie- your mommy and daddy will survive. Somehow, they will take care of each other and love and think about you every day. You have touched so many people in the short time you have been here. Please sweet baby, let go and join the Heaven Above, where you will know no pain and will get to laugh and play and be loved all day long. Fly sweet baby, fly.....

Jen thank you so much for having the patience and dedication in writing your post everyday, as much as it has been hard for you and your family. Thank you so much for allowing us to get to know and love Allie,before I "met" her I didn't know the true meaning of appreciating what you have. I admire you and Andrew for your strength, and I pray that Allie will "pass peacefully" , although i am saddened because of all the pain she's feeling, I am relieved that she will not feel this pain any more. Cancer is a monster, I wear my livestrong bracelet everyday with Allie's name on it, this truly breaks my heart. I love you Allie, may you and your family never feel pain like this again precious baby. Thank you Jen and Andrew.

I don't worry about the small things anymore and I am enjoying every single moment as a mommy because noone is guaranteed a tomorrow. Allie has touched many lives...many more than you'll ever know. She is a beautiful blessing. I am praying that you both will find peace. Thank you for sharing your story.

God bless Allie and your family.

Angel Allie - you have affected so many people's lives, making their lives warmer because they knew you. You are a shining star, a bright light, and a perfect angel of love. You leave us better than we were before you. Yes, sadder, and feeling a tremendous loss, but better. These are the things I wish for you:

May your pain be eased.
May your suffering be gone.
May your heart be forever filled with the love of family and friends.

May you understand the lives that you have touched have a forever Allie imprint on them.

May your mom and dad find peace and comfort knowing that your perfect soul will be with God, and that you will watch over them.

May you know peace, happiness, and love as one of God's children.

We love you Allie, and we will miss you.

I can't even begin to tell you how Allie has touched my life and so many others. There are no words that i can give to make your trials easier, but I would like to share this with you. Allie is an angel that was sent here from heaven, I belive this. Her purpose was to sweep across the nations touching lives in ways that God saw fit. By sharing her story, you as parents have helped this God sent angel complete her tasks. When her mission is accomplished she will be taken home to live in God's glorious presence. There will be no pain and no sickness. It will be the most beautiful place you could ever imagine. She will grow there for eternity. And one day, when God is ready, you will join your sweet Allie again. When her time comes to go please remember this. You will only be seperated temporarily. Our lives here on earth are only like a second compared to the eternal life we will have in heaven. May God allow Allie to have a peaceful passing when it comes and may he comfort and provide peace to your family. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless all of you for the amzing strength you have during this time.

I am amazed at how many people sign the guestbook everyday! I just wanted to encourage you by letting you know there is a Light the Night team here in Wichita that will be walking on Thursday evening and we plan on celebrating Allie's life. The team leader has a banner and buttons made for the team and hopefully we'll raise a decent amount of money for the foundation. Everyone here is praying for a miracle for Allie and that you guys can somehow find comfort and make it through the next month (and more). I love you guys and am here for you whenever you need me. I'm just a phone call away.

My husband and I first saw the tv clip Sept 11 and we both wept, for lying by oursides was our new 7 week old son. Our hearts broke when the realization of such a trememdous trial had been laid at your feet. Today we are fasting and praying for you and Allie. As we draw close to God today, He is faithful to draw near to us, especially in this time of great need. I have learned over the years that it only takes praying the right prayer that is the Father's will that changes any circumstance from death to life. May we pray that prayer, that the Father's perfect will be done and that He would impart to each of us in our imperfectness,fallenness and humanity, His perfect understanding. May God's peace that surpasses all temporal comprehension, garrison around and keep your hearts and mind until His coming. Only speak that which you know with surety which God has spoken to your hearts! With Love, Monique

Dearest Scott Family,
Words cannot even begin to express how I feel about your family. Jenny, thank you for your words and helping me become a better mother. We all get wrapped up in day to day things and you have helped me remember what is most important and I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life. Allie, sweet Allie, where to even begin. I wish for you no more pain. You certainly have had the most wonderful love that any child could ever hope for. I am happy in the knowledge that you knew and grew in that immense love. You will stay in my memory. I will never see a giraffe again and not think of you! My life has changed for the better since reading about this wonderful family. I intend to get involved and help other children in Allie's situation and hope there will be no need for that help some day. I am less selfish because of your influence on my life. Thank you.

Jenny & Andrew: I wish there were words we could write that would erase all your pain. Please know how much your beautiful, sweet, precious Allie has touched the lives of so many, and made the world a better place. Her 9 months here on earth brought so much awareness and love...Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Thank you for showing all of us the true meaning of family and unconditional love. Thank for for bringing Allie into this world and teaching us what in life is really important. May God keep you in his arms and bring peace and healing during this difficult time. How special your family is to have given birth to a living, breathing angel - so special that God wanted her back home to make the Heaven's a better place.

Allie - We love you. You have touched the lives of so many, beautiful child. God Bless You.

Dear Lord, thank you for the Scott family. Thank you for Jenny and Andrew, and the strength and love they showed us - I had begun to doubt love like that still existed in this world until their story. Thank you for for Allie, Lord, and the love she has brought to this world. Please keep this family in your loving arms and bring peace to their hearts during this difficult time.

In Jesus Name I Pray,
Amen

I have been following your story since I joined the BBC board in the beginning of June, everyday I come to the computer and check to see how your angel is doing. It amazes me that someone so small could affect the lives of so many. Allie may have a little body, but she has a huge soul and has accomplished more in her short life than many will accomplish during their whole existence. I feel blessed to have been on this journey with all of these people who are loving and praying for Allie, some from right there and some from far away. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you and yours.

How can I convey with words how Allie has touched my life? I have decided that it is an impossible task. A part of her has taken refuge in my heart. That love will continue on long after Allie spreads her wings. There will be much rejoicing in Heaven as her soul takes flight. No more pain. No more suffering. Fly precious angel...Fly.

Dear little Allie -
May God enfold you in His love. I prayed for a miracle, so many people did, and I know all those prayers and all the love counts for something, even they seem to have been in vain. Love is what matters most, and Allie's life has been full of love, and she has inspired so many people to love more. Jenny & Andrew, my thoughts & prayers are with you today. I will never forget your courage, and how you found beauty and joy in the midst of the greatest sadness.
All partings are temporary - someday you will be reunited for all eternity.

Allie, Jenny and Andrew

I have kept up with your family for awhile now. I talked to God and I prayed to God for a miracle so Allie could stay on Earth and live with your LOVE. I know we are being selfish since Heaven is Utopia........
I am sorry for your pain but I admire the love, strength, patience, respect, and again love that flows from your family. Allie's soul was given to you both to love and hold above us all. Always remember the world is a far better place because of your daughter, Allie Scott. A name that will live on in many families throughout generations to come. In a way, you are blessed to be given an angel that has made an incredibly significant impact on the world.

Thinking of you always and forever through thoughts and stories,

Allie, Jenny and Andrew,

I just came upon your site on Friday, and for the past few days I have not had your family out of my thoughts and prayers for a second. I haven't signed the guestbook yet because I wanted to find the perfect words, something that I thought might bring you comfort. But I realize there are no words.

I, too, have a daughter born in December 2003 (on the 14th, just three days older than Allie), and a 3 year old little boy, so I have been reading your site and Sammy's site with keen interest. It's been agonizing to read, to picture your family and the struggles you've already been through. I can't in my wildest thoughts imagine what it's been like for you. Just know that I'll hug my kids a little tighter, have a little more patience with them, and give them more hugs and kisses because of Allie. I'm also going to donate blood for the first time, and I'm thinking about getting on the marrow donation list, something I've never considered before.

Allie, if a healing miracle is not to come your way, I pray so fervently for comfort for you in your passing. I pray that you know no more pain, only the pure and undying love of your parents, your whole family, and your Father in Heaven.

Jenny and Andrew, I pray that you have peace in all the decisions you have made for your little angel, don't ever second-guess anything, don't ever wonder "what if?" Just know that you gave that little girl the best and most loving nine months that any little baby has ever felt. I pray that you find strength in each other and the wonderful support of your families. I pray that with the passage of time you are able to look back on your memories of Allie with fondness, that the pain of her loss will subside, and you can truely appreciate all the joy she gave you these nine months. I pray that her furute brothers and sisters will know what a special big sister they had, even thougth they'll never get to meet her on Earth.

Allie,
I pray God wraps his arms around you and takes away your pain before you know what pain is. I pray that he wrapps his loving arms around your mommy & daddy and comforts them this day and beyond.
Go, go play in the gardens of heaven and look down upon your family and rest on the clouds above.
Jenny & Andrew,know this. Your daughter that you brought into this world has touched more lives than you will ever account for. She IS a saint if there ever was one. We all love you so much even though many of us have never known you outside of this computer. I never thought I could become so close yet be so far away. THANK YOU a million times for bringing us into your lives. I hope that one day you will have comfort in what Allie's purpose here on earth was. My, look what she has done!

Dear Allie, Jenny and Andrew,

I have spent the last few weeks reading about Allie and have been keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers every day since. Words can not fully express to you all how your family has touched and changed my life (along with many others I'm sure). You have helped me become a better person, mother and wife and I now have a better understanding and appreciation of all the above mentioned things (and more). Allie was born an angel an though you will not be given the time you all hoped for with her, you were given Allie because you are both strong in spirit, heart and above all, unconditional love. It takes amazing, strong, giving people such as yourselves to be able to endure what you have been through and to share your lives with people you have never met. What an amazing thing to know that people all over the country and the world will think of your daughter every time they hear the name Allie, or everytime they see a giraffe. I know I will.

Thank you, for making people see that the world is bigger than just themselves, for sharing with us your story, for being such an inspiriation for others and for reaffirming the belief that angels really do exist (Allie has been living proof of that). You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Farmington, MN USA - Monday, September 13, 2004 3:25 PM CDT

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Dear Jenny and Andrew,

As a parent who has lost a child from a terminal illness, I really want you to know that I feel you have expressed the sentiments I myself felt while living with my son in the hospital as you have with Allie, and I want to thank you for bringing your story to the world. Through you and little Allie, others have learned the true meaning of what life is all about. I feel you've honored my son by making your story so open and available. It's unfortunate that Allie, and babies like her, have to pay the ultimate price for this most important life lesson. It should never happen to any family. The only solace we can really find in this tragedy is the fact that through our stories, others may lead better lives.

I understand what it means to say you would not trade the time you've had with Allie for anything on this earth. She is precious, and special, and you have been given a gift in her. As difficult as it is, it is also a joyous and wonderful thing to love a child so much and so well.

Being now years removed from where you are, I do want to tell you that the pain will subside. You will survive. You will never forget, but you will feel whole again, eventually.

Peace to you and your families. Allie is well loved, even by those who have not had the honor of knowing her personally. We are here if you need us, and even if you don't. When things seem quiet, and everyone seems to be moving on, please remember, although they are moving on, they are living life better because of your gift...your precious Allie.

Peace,
Lisa L.

Jenny, Andrew and Baby Allie, I heard about your family from my parents place playgroup board for my 2 year old daughter - you guys have alot of support coming at you from over on Parents Place on Ivillage!! I was up all night last night reading all your journal entries, and I just feel as if I know you all. I wanted you to know that yet another faceless stranger from another part of the world (I live in Long Island, NY) is praying for all of you. I know that things don't look very good for Allie right now, and I can't even begin to imagine the heartache you are all feeling right now. I spent 8 years working in pediatric oncology and pediatric liver diseases at a large hospital in NY as a social worker, and I spent many hours sitting with families just like yours, hugging, crying, talking, laughing, playing.....so I have a slight idea of what you're going through. I remember the pain I felt as I tried to help my families get through the unimaginable. I just wanted to tell you how much love you have coming at you from my heart - and for whatever little it's worth, I wanted to add my prayers to the millions of others already involved in your story. Jenny - your words are beautiful, heartfelt, brave and honest. You should consider putting your journal into a book to help other families who come after you, who have to deal with something similar. Your little Allie is just gorgeous, and her short life has touched so many. In a way, I think she has accomplished more than most adults I know - she has brought together a world full of strangers, and has made me live my life differently. My heart is with all of you. I will pray for no more suffering for your little angel

"He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
Verse 3

He's got the little tiny baby in HIS hands.
He's got the little tiny baby in HIS hands.
He's got the little tiny baby in HIS hands.
He's got the whole world in His hands.

Peace to you my dear sweet Allie. May you find comfort in God's loving arms.

Jenny and Andrew, peace to you as well. May you find comfort in God, each other and your families in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. Remember the baby that blew raspberries and smiled lovingly at you.

Love for you and your angel from Kentucky.

jenny and andrew,
I know you are probably no where near wanting to talk about life after allie but I wanted to again let you know what helped me through losing my daughter. Others have said this to you I am sure but knowing that Chloe would never feel pain again, whether from an IV stick or a broken heart from some 15 yr old punk, gave me such great peace. The book that helped me the most, because I know you will probably recieve many, is called "Safe in the Arms of GOD". It gives biblical truth that your little one is in heavan. Not just sentimental niceness but TRUTH that you will hold allie again one day.
Chloe will be thrilled with her new angel playmate. I promise she will help look after her. Let me know if I can ever help you
love and prayers,

You do not know me but I am very familiar with Allie's story. I have followed Allie's story for several months now and I would just like to let you know how your little angel has changed me. I hope this does not come off wrong but after hearing of Allie's life I have become a much better parent to my 2 year old daughter. Whenever she is being a "typical" 2 year old I remind myself that there are parents out there who would give their right arms to see those "typical 2 year old moments". I am a single mom who works full time so I am very tired at the end of the day; however now instead of worrying about a spotless house I make sure that I have the time and energy to play with her everyday because I know there are parents out there that won't ever be lucky enough to play with their cead of worrying about a spotless house I make sure that I have the time and energy to play with her everyday because I know there are parents out there that won't ever be lucky enough to play with their children.

Your family is amazing! Allie is an angel who has touched so many people, more than you will ever know. I will never forget her and will continue to pray for Allie, your family and other families in your shoes. Please know that Allie was an angel sent from above to remind us what true love is! God bless.

Dear Jenny & Andrew,
I learned of your story through the May 2002 BC Board. I am deeply saddened for what you are going through. I hope that Allie's pain will be eased and that she will be at peace. How can someone so young have touched so many people in so many different ways? Because of Allie I will hug my boys a little tighter tonight.

I don't even know what or if I can contribute anything that hasn't already been said. Honestly, I don't know if I could have shared my daughter with the world. I am a better person to have "known" her and your family. I know alot of the time Jenny gets all the credit for being strong, etc. But Andrew we feel for you too......We hear Jenny's words, but we know they are spoken from your heart as well. My god, how lucky you two are to have a daughter like Allie. How can ONE small child touch this many lives? What makes her SO special??? I don't have the answers to those questions, but it is just breath-taking how special she is.

We love you all, more than you could ever know. Sweet baby Allie, when I hold my daughter at night, I always give one extra hug for you.

Jenny you are the same age as I am and I know that I could not be as mature and strong as you are through this whole ordeal. I pray for you and your family and I hope for a miracle for you. I check at least three times a day to see if there is an update about Allie. I want the best for your sweet baby. She is so perfect and beautiful. Her smile makes me smile when I see the pictures you post. Stay strong and hug and kiss that baby from everyone in the world. We are all rooting for you and your family.

PRECIOUS CHILD

Words and Music by Karen Taylor-Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

Dear Scott Family,

You know, I cannot even remember when or how I first came to your site. But, I can say that my life has been changed forever thanks to your willingness to let me get to "know" you and your precious Angel Allie. I pray for you all of the time and hope you do find the peace you are looking for.

Jenny & Andrew: I pray for your strength. If only love was enough to cure cancer...Allie, and your entire family, are loved by so many. You have made such a difference in the lives of thousands. Thank you for letting us "love on" Allie in spirit. God Bless You.

Allie: Fly with the Angels sweet baby. I pray that you aren't suffering and feel no pain. Thank you so much for the lessons you have taught me. And thank you for making me a better mother to my own little angel. I will never forget you.

The Day God Called You Home

God looked around his garden and found an empty space,
He then looked down upon this earth, and saw your tired sweet face.
He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain,
He knew that you might never get well, upon this earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered
"Peace be thine,"

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you never went alone,
For part of us went with you, The day God called you Home.

~Author Unknown~

My prayers and tears are with you.

Dear Allie,

You have been such a little trooper though all this pain that life has thrown you. I admire you and your parents so much. I pray that you will not remember the pain, only the love and affection that your parents so unconditionally gave to you. There are many mommy's up in heaven waiting for your perfect smile, your bright eyes and your raspberries. They will hold you and love you, with all the love that God gives them. Your parents will be sending their love hour by hour, minute by minute. God will surely bless you as you didn't get a chance to test out the world, only to feel its pain. Heaven will be your playground and mommy and daddy will be there with you in spirit and soon with you forever. God Bless you Allie.

Andrew & Jenny, Carla called this morning to let me know about Allie. I have been thinking about you every moment since. And although I weep, my tears are not for Allie. I know Allie is going to a better place. I know Allie will not hurt any more. She will be whole and complete and know perfect life surrounded by love and joy and goodness. My tears are for YOU, Jenny and Andrew. You are the ones who have to endure this sorrow. We are standing with you in your grief and we will continue to hold you and support you any way we can.

It is an honor to have shared Allie's life with you. Every parent has big dreams for their children - dreams of their children doing great things and impacting many, making a difference in the lives of others and making the world a better place. Allie has done that. I don't know of any other almost-9-month-olds who can lay claim to that! And though the myriad of other dreams you have for her may never come true, you can know that indeed Allie has made the world a better place. She has done great things just by being here with us. She has touched many lives and made a difference. And her legacy is that she will continue to do just that. She will continue to touch lives and make a difference. She will carry on through you and me and the thousands of people who have come to know and love her through the web, TV, newspapers, bulletin boards, and on and on.

We love you guys and our hearts grieve with you.

You are such an inspiration. You were sent to this earth on a special mission from God to be a shining angel among us simple humans. You have touched so many across the world in ways that you could never know. I wish you peace and comfort for your family. May you always live on in the hearts of all of those that you touched. I have never met you or your family, but I love you and when my little boy Riley is old enough to understand, I will tell him the story of the beautiful little angel named Allie.

I cannot begin to express how sorry I am that she and you are going through this, and just want you to know that you are all now and always in my thoughts and prayers. I don't want to be a tourist at your grief, gawking at what must be so intensely personal and difficult, but I do want to offer prayers and thanksgiving for Allie's life. I pray that you and she find peace and comfort always, and that this miraculous outpouring of love and support from the world brings you some comfort in your darkest hour of need. Your charity and grace are astonishing.

I pray she does not suffer any longer, and that all of you find peace.

Dear Allie,
I don't know the words to say to tell you how much your story has touched me. I can not imagine learning my little guy has cancer, much less telling the world all about it. Your parents have unselfishly informed thousands of people about your disease and your treatments. Those treatments may not be able to save you, but because of you, others may receive treatments that will work for them. That is a beautiful legacy. Your life and your story have meant so much to so many people. Thank you, Allie, for being so brave.

To Jenny and Andrew, thank you for sharing your story with us. I will pray for peace for your family. I know I would not have the strength that the two of you have shown. May God Bless You!!

This is the 4th time I've typed a message in your guestbook - maybe I'll actually hit send on this one. Being a parent, my heart breaks for you. Despite the outcome, Allie has made you better people - she's shown you things in her short 9 months that you've never seen or felt before. She's shown you unconditional love. She's given you strength that you never knew you had. And be it here or in heaven, she's given you a sort of peace that you'll always take with you in life. I've been where you are now - having to deal with the reality that you may lose your little girl. I got a miracle, and I pray for that same miracle for Allie.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always. God Bless you all.

Dear Sweet Allie,
During your short time here on this earth, you have accomplished more than many do in their long lived lifetimes.
You have taught many that there is a love that extend beyond a family curciut.
You have taught families to hug more and yell less.
You have taught people to be thankful more, and complain less.
You have taught people to fight for what they believe and never give up.
You have taught parent's that parenthood is a priceless gift, and to cherish it always.
You have brought people to their knees, people who haven't prayed in years - or never before - and they have met God!
You have restored relationships, brought hope to broken familes and peace to those who have lost before.
You are an angel set upon this earth. How precious you are.
I have never held you in my arms, but my heart will hold you for years to come. And as I hold my children and kiss their angel faces...I will remember what you have taught me...and that is to cherish each day, love each moment, and pray for them always.
Thank you Allie.

Jenny, Andrew and Little Allie,

I want to thank you all for showing me how precious life is. My daughter is 10 months old and just took her for granted that she was always going to be here and be in good health. But learning about Allie a few months back really made me realize how lucky we were and how I wished the same for your family. You have taken every day with your head held high even if it was hard. You have given everyone so much strength in our every day life's I just wish that I was able to do that for you. I read every day of how you are still holding on to allie and how strong you are to deal with this. I admire you and your family so much. I wish the best for you and will continue to keep your family in our family's prayers every night.

Love you guys so much,

I have only been reading your story since Thursday but you have so beautifully expressed your journey. I feel as if I have been able to be there with you every step of the way. Since I started reading I have checked back numerous times a day and I talk to my little girl about her everytime I hold her. She loves looking at Allie's picture. I can never express how much I long to make this awfulness go away for you. I too lost a baby - though mine was before I was able to get to know her and she is my little Angel in heaven - without her I never would have my little darling now.

Allie - Abigail is waiting for you darling. Go peacfully and play. Play with all the littlest angel's. Mommy and Daddy will think of you daily. Look over them and guide them through the rest of thier lives. Your strength will help them continue on. You are a wonderful blessing and I will think of you always. Go and tell Abigail her mommy says I love you. Kisses sweet baby.

Jenny - A mother's pain at losing a child is never easy to handle. You have a wonderful support system and I know they will continue to be there for you throughout it all. You are a strong strong woman (though you may not feel that way). I wish you all the comfort in the world.

Andrew - You too are strong. Try not to be too strong. You too will need comfort and allow others to give it to you. My hope for you is that you find your comfort.

My thoughts are with you all. {{{{{HUGS}}}}

Jenny and Andrew~ I cannot begin to tell you how much your story has affected my life these past few days. I pray that God has mercy on your little angel, Allison Leigh, and takes her into his comforting arms when it is time. I wish that Allie did not have AML. I wish you were dealing with normal everyday life at home with an almost one year old. That being said, you have demonstrated enourmous strength to so many people across the world. I am asking everyone I know to pray for you and your family.

My heart is with you. I can't say I know your pain, but I do know the joy you have felt with Allie, every smile, every rasberry, every kiss. Realize that no matter what an angel will be with you and in you and will guide those around you to remember the joy she gave, to remember the community she created and the love she created.

Thank you Jenny and Andrew for sharing your story, you didn't have to post every day, but you did. You pulled me from my own little world, away from my own little pity parties and showed me what was important. YOU have done so much and everything you could for Allie. your little girl is so beautiful and always will be. and someday you'll see her again, with no tubes, no pain, just happiness. and i reckon that she will say "thank you mom and dad, for loving me with everything in you." nobody can love her as much as you can. I'm praying for you. I know the hurt of losing a child. Thank you, peace be with you.

I am Praying for a Miracle. Nothing less. Allie has so many people Praying for her to pass peacefully. She is still here so I have chose to Pray for a miracle. God can handle that request.

Also if I may, http://www.sjsupport.org/ This link is to a place that has people with the same rash as Allie. Maybe that rash is an allergic reaction. I keep thinking if she was getting less of something, maybe that is the answer?

Little Allie has touched my life more than I ever thought possible when I innocently started following her story in May. Like others, I hug my little girl a little tighter and longer each day. I will continue to donate my time and money to help in cancer/leukemia research. I hope one day that no family will ever experience the pain that you are experiencing right now.
I pray for peace and comfort for Allie so she will no longer be in any pain. I pray for strength and courage for Jenny and Andrew and rest of the Scott family.
Allie's life is truly a blessing that we all got to take part in through your posts. Thank you for sharing her amazing life with us.

I was at the candle light vigil Saturday night in Dallas. To me it was so amazing at how many people love and care for Allie and her family. I was very honored to be there and be a part of the Allie for Rallie group. I don't even live in Dallas but I expressed to my parents and my 11 year old son how important this was to me and my parents drove me. We live in East Texas-Athens. After attending the vigil I think my 11 year old has a different outlook on life now. He has read your website all day yesterday. He would look at Allie's picture and say how cute she is. She is a baby like Maddy. (Maddy my 5 mo old daughter) Jenny and Andrew thank you so very much for sharing Allie with me. She is so beautiful and has totally changed my life. I am continuing to pray for you all. I love you Allie, Jenny, Andrew and Sharon.

Dear Allie, as we all sit here praying for a miracle, it's easy to realize that you are a true miracle and have taught so many of us what life is truly about -- appreciating the time we have here on earth with each other. Although your time is likely to be way too short, I will continue to pray for a miracle. You have been such a strong little girl and deserve a life without tubes, tests and pain. You have 2 of the most wonderful parents there are -- you are very special, very loved and will be very missed. May your journey to heaven be painless and your memories last a lifetime! God bless you Allie, Jenny and Andrew!

I don't even have words to describe how I feel after learning about and seeing Allie, who looks so much like my 9 1/2 month old, Kambree. I am also O Positive, and only wish I could donate for Allie. Being in Idaho makes that a bit difficult. If she ever needs anything, anything at all in the way of blood, or bone marrow, or anything, I'd love the opportunity to see if I'm a match. My heart and prayers are with beautiful baby Allison.

This was shared on the Dec 03 board, I hope the original poster doesn't mind my sharing.

"I heard this song once by Celiene Dion and it couldn't be more fitting.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely word of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiess
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don' waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won' forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now , find the light"

Jenny, Andrew, and sweet Allie,

I read your journal everyday when I wake up. I am so aware of every giraffe I come across, every angel I see, every person I meet with the name Allison. I find remiders of your precious baby girl everywhere! She is in my thoughts and prayers daily. My daughter and I wear our Allie shirts proudly and tell everyone of her story that ask. Be strong, even when you want to be weak...know that your baby touched so many lives, inspired so many people and changed us all. I am honored to have met you through your story and I will be thrilled to meet Allie when I get to heaven. She is an amazing baby. I have read for so long and sent you, Jenny, an email probably 2 months ago. Allie was diagnosed just as I was returning to work from maternity leave. Her story is a daily update in my office. Thank you for sharing. I know I am rambling now...there is so much I want to say too, I just don't know how. You are in my prayers everyday and I pray that Allie has a peaceful passing and you are comforted knowing that she will never hurt again. Thank you again for sharing with all of us.

I have been checking to see how you are doing for a couple weeks now. My prayers have been with you all and especially for little Allie. Thank you for sharing your story. Through your words and updates, your love for Allie has come through loud and clear. I can't imagine a more pure love than that which you are showing her now. Please know that Allie's life is touching many people. My wonderful dad is battling Non-small cell lung cancer at the moment and I realize how every moment is precious. Unfortunately, I am across the country from him but my heart is with him every day. God Bless you all and your families. God Bless Allie.

God bless you Jenny and Andrew. God will always be with you and so will baby Allie. Be strong and hug your little angel for as long as you have her.

Jenny and Andrew - I pray for God's full and complete comfort to shelter you with a blanket of peace. Allie has been such a wonderful example of God's love. She is a beautiful baby girl and has touched, infuenced and changed so many lives all over the world. I have never experienced the witness of one tiny life having this much impact on so many.

I encourage you to read back through this guestbook as time passes to see how Allie has blessed all of us that have grown to love this gift of God that many of us have never met her on this earth, but I for one want to meet her when we are all together in God's embrace. She has bleesed my life!

God's peace, grace and mercy for you and may you find comfort in His love and the love of those of us whose live have been blessed by Allie's story and the story of two parents who gave their all for their sweet gift from God.

Your daughter was sent to you as a gift, and even though it wasn't the present you wanted, your family took that gift and shared it with people so that they could learn and perhaps be cured someday.....I send you strength to carry on knowing your daughter has changed the world in less than a year's time.

Soon you will be safe and sound in the arms of God. We pray for a painless and swift return to Heaven, although we want more than anything for you to stay here with your mommy and daddy, God needs another Angel to watch over all the other children who might survive because you lived and taught people about giving blood and platelets, loving and caring for one another.
We love you and will always hold a place for you in our hearts. You, Allie have made me a better mother and my baby girl will always hear about you when she gets older.

I only became aware of Allie's story when I watched the news story on Channel 8. I then went to your website and read your postings and looked at pictures of your beautiful Allie. I was so moved and touched by what you and Allie have been going through. Allie has made me aware that children are a precious gift from God, not to be taken for granted. Since then, I have gone to bed each evening with Allie in my prayers and I have awakened each morning with Allie in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your story and Allie's life with us. The world is a better place for Allie having been in it. I will continue to pray for a miracle and hope that the tears I have shed for her will wash away her pain.

I read each day and see the pictures of this beautiful, smiling, vibrant baby and my heart breaks for her and for her caring, loving, giving, completely devoted and wonderful parents. May God give you strength to continue to see you all through this and, when the time comes, may her passing be peaceful. This one little baby is truly an inspiration to many. God bless beautiful little Allie and the two wonderful people that have been blessed to see her through her journey, Andrew and Jenny.

Dear Scott Family!

We are praying for all of you, especially your darling angel Allie! We would love to share this with you:

Subject: A Baby asked God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to
earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being
so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will
take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in
heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile
to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also
smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very
happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able
to understand when people talk to me if I don't know
the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful
and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much
patience and care, your angel will teach you how to
speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to
you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together
and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means
risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you
anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me
and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even
though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but
voices from Earth could be heard and the child
hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now,
please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, "Mom."

God bless,

I'm addicted to Allie. Everyday I come on the site to see how Allie is doing. My little 18 month old whenever she sees me looking at the website she repeatively say Allie. We pray daily for Allie and hope for a miracle. She is such a strong little girl and so very cute.

Allie, Jenny, and Andrew,
What brave people you are! Allie, I think of you and pray for you everday. When I look at your pictures, it reminds me of my daughter, chubby just like her. Andrew and Jenny, thank you for sharing your story with us. You have touched so many people and you are such strong people. I am sorry, I'm not good with words, but I just wanted to let you know I think of you, along with everyone else.

Hi Jenny, Andrew & little Allie,
My heart goes out to you. I have been keeping up pretty much with all the updates and pray for little Allie's health and Mom and Dad, that God will give you the strength, blessings and the courage to go through what you're going through. I know it isn't easy. But I promise you this, God will carry you even when you feel like giving up. I can vouch for that. I only know that what we go through can be used not only to hopefully be strength for someone else and/or a vessle toward looking for a cure for the disease.
We love you all and I pray many blessings and God's super natural strength. May He cover you and your home with His peace.

With all of the prayers and support from wonderful doctors and friends, I know you will be planning a 1st birthday party for Allie this December. Take care, I look forward to reading about your future.

I have to read your posts daily to find out how sweet Allie is doing. I live in California so seeing the news piece and hearing Allies sweet voice and to hear you Jenny really hit me even harder. I cant believe how powerful your Journey about Allie is. You are an amazing and beautiful family. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful angel Allie with the world.

Baby Allison, Your light is shining so brightly even in my home in NC. I heard of your story from a photographer in the area and checked out your page. What amazing, dedicated and loving parents you have. Unreal! As a mother to two precious boys I could not begin to feel the overwhelming fear you have. My heart breaks and tears in two for the both of you. I hope, that you can find comfort, in know that today I took 15 extra minutes to read nap time stories, I cleared my schedule for this afternoon to be with the boys, and I planned a cookout and will bake cupcakes " just because" . Thank you for teaching me, through your daughter to slow down and enjoy my almost 1 and 3 year old. Every dear day is pecious. Thank you! All my love, hugs and big prayers. Love Moriah Edmonson

I have a little girl of my own, Elena, who is the same age as Allie. My entire family is praying for you and Allie. She is a beautiful gift to us all. Her courage, and yours, is a remarkable reminder to all of us of what is really important in all of our lives. That important reminder is what Allie has given to me every day. I'm sure many others have been given that message by Allie as well. I wonder if God has given Allie the important mission to remind us all of what is really important in life. I hope you find some comfort in that God will always be there, loving you, and Allie, forever. And I will always be thankful for what she has done, and is doing, for me.

Allie- I do not know you personally, but I love you. I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I pray every second for your comfort. I know you need a miracle, and I pray for that too. I see your precious smile in my dreams, and day dreams. Peace be with you little one this day. I hope you are giving your mommy and daddy some special memories to take with them. You are a precious angel.

Jenny and Andrew- words connot express the way I feel for your family. I pray that the Lord will give you strength to get through these moments and days ahead. You are an inspiration to me because of your strength. I am so very sorry for you. I hope the river of tears I personally have cried for your angel will wash over you offering peace. You are never far from my thoughts, and always in my prayers. Please give precious Allie a kiss from a stranger.

Dear Allie and Mommy and Daddy,
It just breaks my heart to know that you are having to go through all the pain you have been given. You have made me realize more that I already did that I have a precious little gift that God gave me November 2003. Through reading about you, I do not take anything my little man does for granted. I look at him in a whole different light.
I pray for you daily and I tell my family about you and how strong you are. I am so sorry that you are enduring what most adults couldn't even endure.
I wish for you no pain and I wish there would just be a miracle! I can't think of a more deserving person to have such a miracle.
You are a lucky little girl to have such a loving family.
I have bought my son one of your Baby Bibs in support of you and I plan on telling him how he came about getting that bib and what a wonderful little girl you are.
I wish you all the best. I wish you no pain only happy smiles.

I've been following allie's battle for months now and I just wanted to say that your whole family is always in my thoughts and prayers. I read your website everyday in hopes that there would be good news. I'm a young mother myself and that makes it even harder to read your posts. Your daugher has made me smile and cry. I have so much love for your family and for your little angel allie. Please give her a kiss from me. You guys are amazing people, thank you so much for sharing your story and your wonderful daughter.

I will pray for your sweet baby and your family through this difficult time and I know that Jesus will be at your side and will protect her with open arms in his timing.

A Measure of Life by Marjorie Wright Miller
The elm lives on for half a hundred years
Or more, a rose but a single June;
No need to wish it were not so; tears
Of regret can never change the tune
Of Earth�s mysterious song; she measures time
In beauty, not by the numbered hours she lasts,
Not by heights to which a tree can climb,
But by the sheltering shade that it casts;
The smallest flower that breathes but a day
Distills its fragrance into sweet perfume,
Garbs itself with grace in bright array-
Exquisite, brief intensity in bloom.
Whether the notes of life are short or long,
From end to end what matters is the song

To the wonderful Scott family. I think of your family every day. Beautiful Allie has touched my heart in a way I would've never thought possible. I ache for her, that she is having to undergo such a trying and painful ordeal. But, God doesn't make mistakes. Although it is hard for us to see this at times, I see how much of a beautiful gift God gave to the world, when he brought little Allie into it. I love her, as if I know her, and I hope for only painfree days for her future. I will continue to pray for you and your family in hopes that whatever God's will is - it be done. I hope your family finds peace in their hearts, and know that people all over the world are thinking of you always!

Everytime I read something and now I have recently saw the video footage and my heart just goes out to you and your family. I just want you know that you have many praying for you and supporting you. Allie is always in my thoughts....I have a 6 month old baby boy and I couldn't imagine going through this...you are so strong and I praise you for that. But please know that Allie and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and of course wonderful adorable Allie, this is a poem I read at my son's funeral, I wanted to share it with you. I pray for you everyday, you are always in my thoughts. Thank you for having the strength to 'share' Allie with so many strangers, thank you for giving us all the chance to fall in love with your wonderful daughter.

I�ll send you for a little time
A child of mine, He said.
� For you to love whilst he�s alive
And mourn for when he�s dead.
It may be six or seven years
Sixteen or twenty-three,
But will you till I call him back
Take care of him for me ?

He�ll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief
You�ll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I can not promise he will stay
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons to be taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I�ve looked this wide world over
In my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life�s lanes
I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I came to call
To take him home again ?
I fancied that I heard them say
�Dear Lord, Thy Will be done�.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring
The risk of grief we�ll run.

We�ll shelter him with tenderness
We�ll love him while we may
And for the happiness we�ve known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we�ve planned
We�ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand. �
(I wish I knew who wrote this poem but I don't.)

Dear Jenny, Andrew and dear Allie,

How much I wanted to be at the vigil on Saturday evening. The pictures and words are just breathtaking. Please know that my thoughts and prayers were with you then as well as always. You have been blessed with a true miracle. Because of Allie, I love my family a little more, give hugs and kisses more often and say "I Love You" a hundred times a day. Because of Allie, I do not worry about the small stuff (spilled milk, messed up house, etc.), I only worry about not spending enough time with my children. Your strength thoughout this time has been nothing but amazing. I only can hope that I have as much strength as this in good times and in bad. May Allie rest peacefully and please let her know that we love her.

Dear Jenny and Andrew:
It was so good to see you at the vigil Saturday night. I didn't come up and introduce myself because I thought you might want to spend your time with those that you already know personally (ie. your students, etc). Wow, what a special night! I feel honored that I was there to take part in such a wonderful event. You continue to be in my daily thoughts and prayers.

Dear Precious Angel Allie:
You have touched so many hearts. You are a wonderful, beautiful miracle and a blessing to all those you've touched. We love you so much baby girl!

Jenny and Andrew,

God sent an angel for you to watch over until she finished her job here on earth. What a privilege that he chose you. Such strength and love. He couldn't have chosen anyone better.

"Oh to catch the winds of
flight,
And soar where eagles go,
To leave the woes of
the troubled souls
Behind me far below.
I'd listen to the songs of
birds
And sail in endless flight,
Then chase the sun through
cloudy paths
And play with stars at night.
The boundless heavens for
my home
The breeze to lift me high
To rise above my mortal
bonds
And never have to die.
Know I had the way
To trials where angels trod,
And when my wings could fly
no more
I'd take the hand of God"

Baby Allie,
Your are truly a precious angel from God. You have shown to us life, love, strength and bravery. We love you and so does your mommy and daddy. I have not had the opportunity to know you face to face though I would have loved it. You give me and my little Emily the strength to go on. We will pray for you always.

Dear Scott family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Allie's illness. Through a posting on an i-village message board, I just heard of your story today. We lost our 27 month old son, Pete, 14 months ago. I just wanted to let you know that even though he's not here physically anymore, I often feel his presence. It's strange, but comforting. I will pray for you and your family. My prayer for Allie will be that she has as much pain-free, lucid time with you as possible. The time I had with Pete is what I hold on too when missing him sometimes becomes unbearable. God Bless you all. You are an inspiration.

Hello Jenny & Andrew,
About a week ago a friend of mine Christie Warwick sent me an email & asked that I pray for your family and gave me the website information to look at. Every since that day I can not get your family out of my mind. You have a beautiful baby girl who I know has touched your heart in a very special way as well as others around the world now. I have logged on several times to send you a message but can't because I begin to cry and don't know what to say. I have asked GOD for wisdom in what to tell you and the one thing that keeps coming to mind is to tell you to confess to GOD that he is not a man that he can lie & whatever he has said he will do he will do it and he said that by his stripes we are healed!!!!! So just remind him of that often. You are nothing short of a miracle & as we all know they still exist. I will keep you all in my prayers forever!
Heather Butler <heather_butler@concentra.com>
Columbia, TN USA - Monday, September 13, 2004 8:48 AM CDT

Jenny,
I've followed your story for months and have never signed your guestbook. This morning a song popped into my head that seems so apropos of your life and time with Allie. It's a song that Willie Nelson wrote and recorded many years ago. Here is an excerpt from the lyrics:

If you would not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wings
And hung around for a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
And I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on, fly on
Past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up
Than see you down
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

It's almost as if Allie were an Angel flying too close to the ground. You and Andrew found her, loved her, patched up her wings, and now it's almost time for her to fly again. Love to you and your family. I will always remember you and your sweet Allie, thank you for sharing her with me.

p.s. I'm the co-captain for LTN Houston - Allie's Angels and will proudly walk in her honor.

I don't think that there has ever been a little girl more loved, more prayed for than Allie. She has changed my life. She has made me truly appreciate how fortunate I am to have healthy children. If anyone deserves a miracle it is the Scott family. Jenny, Andrew and Allie are on my mind and in my heart everyday. I just want them to know that I am pleading with God to cure Allie.

I just wanted to say, hi. I hope you are all ok. I know you arent, I just hope your are at peace and Allie is having better days.

I love you all, I really do.

You have brought so much to my life. I lit my candle here for you last night and wanted desperately to be there. I have seen the pictures on Allie's Angels site and it was beautiful. I look back to a couple of months ago before I was brought to your site and I realize I was not the same person. I owe this change to a baby girl who has more strength in her little finger than I do. I love you more than words can say and am still believing for a miracle!

Hi Jenny and Andrew and sweet Allie

I was able to see the news report on the vigil that was on Saturday night. I am saddened and espically that I saw her on tv in person and heard her laugh. My heart aches for you and your family for what you are going through. I had a very close friend that had a sick baby like Allie and I was there first hand for everything that she went through. I pray for you to find the strength and for sweet Allie. I am glad that you had this time with her and that you shared her with us. She is definately a sweet girl and has made a huge impact on so many others. There is so much awareness about giving blood that others are paying attention to now because of your little angel. I pray for you all to enjoy the time that you have together and for allie to be at peace and comfortable. My wish is for her to be free from pain but happy. Enjoy your girl and thanks again so much for allowing us to be a part of your lives even if its only for a short time.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one
belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When
the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest
times in his life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that
once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set
of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed
you most you would leave me." The Lord replied,
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it
was then that I Carried You."

(Not too sure if this was appropriate for this time but its definately one of my favorite poems)

God looked upon the earth and seen that everyone was caught up in there own life that they forgot that others exist. so He placed this little girl with this wonderful family, the scotts, allie is a wonderful looking angel, eyes so bright and a smile that tatoos it's self to your memory. i would like to think if looking into allie's eyes that her face would be almost like looking into the eyes of Jesus, the calm that His image gives me, well then God made her for all of us to get on board with His will, think of others and not about ones self all the time.

God may not talk to us in a voice every day, but there is sign language: babies such as allie, the beautiful tree's we look at each day the breath we take, the food He provides, and the great deal of Love He sends along with that sign language.

Allie may God bless you sweetheart and your mom and dad. our prays are with you child of God.

Dear Jan, Andrew, and our precious Angel baby Allie,
I was thinking this today and just wanted to share (though I'm sure it's nothing you haven't thought before):
Wow, what a mission in life Allie has. It's probably nothing that ANY adult could handle. Look at her wonderful life and how it's been shared with countless ppl. She was specifically CHOSEN by God for this life, this mission and my hasn't she been strong?!
She is a miracle and yes, she might be too perfect for this world one day....because she has already done SO much for ppl and the community, and for other ppl with cancer. Her life, even though heartbreaking at times, has been such a gift to all of us. Her mission, even though it is so difficult is a special one that I myself would be too weak for spiritually, and mentally.

Love to Allie, our angel baby, our guide.

Hello Scott Family-
I heard about your stroy lastnight on the news. I cant even begin the imagine what you are going thru. I have 2 children and my second daughter was very ill the first year of her life. We were in and out of the hospital, but my experience only gave me the strength to endure nursing school. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wish i could do more for you than just this message and my prayers.

I don't know why I feel I have the right to sign in here, but my family and I have read your posts nightly before going to bed for months now. We have never met you, and likely never will, but we want you to know that you are in our thoughts constantly. We wish comfort for prescious Allie, and peace for your family. She is such a beautiful angel.

Jenny and Andrew,

I have a daughter close to Allie's age, Maggie (11/11). I learned about Allie through a friend of mind on FF. Your story of your beautiful daughter has touched my life. You have truly made me realize how precious life is. I have so much admiration for you both, Allie is so lucky to have such special parents.

Our prayers for all of you,

I want to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers again tonight and will be every night. I have not stopped thinking about Allie since I first read her story 2 nights ago. I wish she could understand just how many people are rooting for her. Will you please give her a kiss on her cheek for me and tell her we all love her! God Bless Your Family.

I came across your story for the first time tonight. Someone posted the link on another board I'm a member of. I have looked through the pictures, read about Allie, read some of your past journal entries, and cried. You have a beautiful daughter! Thank you for sharing your story with the world. I will be praying for that miracle.

Apparently I am no longer physically able to go to bed without reading the latest guestbook entries and saying goodnight to you all. ;0) My candle was lit in the clear Kansas sky last night, and I was able to hear the audio from the news story (my connection is too slow for video). Between your descriptions and Dana's, along with some photos on the MSN site, I don't need video! Glad yesterday was good, sorry that Allie is hurting today.

Wishing you strength, courage, and peace.

I just came to know your family this evening after seeing the report on WFAA. I have read through many entries in your journal and I just felt like I had to tell you how moving your story is. I am so sorry for your pain but I am so grateful that Allie has such a wonderful family to care for her. Your love for her beams through with every word. You all will be in my prayers in the days and weeks ahead. Stay strong and take of each other. Allie is a beautiful little girl.

Dearest Jenni,Andrew and Allie,
I have been reading your site for many weeks now. Its my nightly ritual. I thought the idea of the vigil was a great idea...but when i saw pictures and the live footage on the news..it was breath taking!
I see all the pictures you post, But seeing Allie and you guys on my screen, seeing allie smile and cry...it was like i became a litte closer to her. She is a beautiful little girl with 2 wonderful parents. She has touched so many lives...mine included.
I wish her nothing but peace and the same for you. God will watch over Allie. I am still praying for a miracle..Can i leave you with one small quote....It reminds me so much of allie and i think you will agree...
"she did so much to be so little but Angels always do"
God bless you...I love you lil Allie.

Hi Allie,

I am writing this evening letting you know that I made a wish for you today. I went to a wedding and at the end we released butterflies. According to Native American Legend, "If anyone desires a wish to come true, they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since they make no sound, they can't tell the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit. So by making a wish and releasing the butterfly, it will be taken to the heavens and be granted." Sweet baby, I want you to know that my wish was for you. I can't tell you the exact wish because it will not come true if I do, but just know that it was a good wish. I am still praying for the miracle that will make you better. We love you Allie. Jennifer and Katharine in Richmond, VA,

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
I lit yet another candle for your beautiful little girl tonight. Your description of the vigil last night was just incredible and made me realize how much good we do have in this world. You are in my prayers every single day, I pray for a miracle for Allie, she is already such a miracle to us all, afterall - I feel she has taught (and you have taught) each and every one of us more about life and love and living life to the fullest.
With many cyber ((((HUGS)))) to you both and your precious, PRECIOUS baby girl Allison...I hope tomorrow is a better day for you all.

Thank you so much for coming down last night. What a difficult thing that must have been for you to do. But, how wonderful to feel all that love and concern from so many people, especially those caring students whom you taught. You are an amazing threesome and we are better for knowing and loving you. May God hold the three of you tenderly in his hands and comfort you.
Love and shalom,

Jenny and Andrew- I just saw the news report on the WFAA website and I was so glad I got to be there in some way. It is so odd to describe the feelings that I get whenever I see Allie. It's like she is family.... she is such an amazing little person. The two of you are an inspiration! I check the site daily to check on Allie, always with the hopes of seeing a miracle. Every night when I tuck my 2 year old in to bed we say a prayer for Allie.... nothing specific- only that God will watch over her, and the two of you as well. I find myself thinking of her often during the day and saying a quick prayer for her. Although we have never met I feel this extreme closeness to your family. The way you desribe Allie makes me feel as if I am right in the room with you. We will continue to pray for all of you, especailly that sweet, gorgeous, raspberry-blowing baby of yours!

Prayer for a very new angel....

"God, God, be lenient her first night there.
The crib she slept in was so near to my bed;
Her blue and white wool blanket was so was so soft,
he pillow hollowed so to fit her head.
Teach her that she'll not want small rooms or me,
when she has yours and heavens immensity!

I always left a light out in the hall,
I hoped to make her fearless in he dark,
and yet, she was so small, ...one little light,
It scarecely mattered! Hark...

No, No, she seldom cried! God not too far
for her to see, this first night, light a star!

And in the morning, when she first woke up
I always kissed her on her left cheek where
the dimple was.. and oh, I wet the brush...
it was easier to swirl her hair.
Just, just, tomorrow morning, God, I pray,
do things for her, my way!"

Dear Jenny and Andrew- I have just learned of your family and your precious Allie. I just finished reading your entry from today and am so inspired by your unending love, devotion, desire, and inspiration; not only for Allie, but the families in the hospital with you. Just remember, God never gives you more than you can handle. I know sometimes it seems like it is more than we can bare. I cannot say I have been in your shoes, nor can I say I understand what you are going through, but, I can say as a mother, I understand the love and devotion you have for your beautiful daughter. I understand you want the very best for her and you don't want to see her hurt. I understand your dreams for her. I think planting the tree in your yard is a beautiful idea and the fact that you are already talking about having more children is just so inspiring that you are not giving up on life. I praise you and Andrew and admire you as a mother and a woman. I only wish for peace, comfort and love for you, Andrew and of course Allie. God bless you and your family. We are praying for you.

I have been returning to check on Allie's progress since I discovered your sight last week. I just had this overwhelming need to tell you that I am praying for your family and that I admire you and your strength so much. I can't imagine how I would handle everything in your position and I can only imagine the pain and numbness you must experience. I know that everytime I read your posts I just want to go and hold my daughter who is 8 months. Thank you for helping me not take things for granted. I do pray that God will help you and Allie. If His purpose is that Allie needs to be with Him, then I pray for an end to her pain so she may enjoy time with Mommy and Daddy while it is possible. I also pray for your continued strength. I wish things could be different. Sending our love and prayers! The Tachar Family

Andrew & Jenny, You and Dana did such a wonderful job of describing the candlelight vigil. What a beautiful expression of the love so many of us have for you and your family - and for the way that Allie's life has touched so many of us. We wanted so badly to be there last night but it was Matt's 40th birthday and we had planned a big party at the Texas Pool. We set up a table at the entrance with a beautiful framed montage of Allie (made by Angie Stueve!) and a placard that read "In honor of Allison Leigh Scott". We scattered tea lights and a lighter on the table for people to light as they entered. At 8:30, at the same time as your vigil, I shared your story (briefly) and we held a minute of silence for Allie. I encouraged those who were there to light candles to represent Allie's life - not as a memorial, but as a celebration, as you had mentioned in your post. We cried, we sang a special song for Allie, and I took pictures throughout the night for you (I'll send you on your personal email) so you could see how the light of Allie's life spread from one little tealight to a whole table covered with them. I know you have so many people who are vying for your attention right now - but I want you to know that we as your church family will always be there for you both. We love you guys with all our heart and we won't stop! You are a precious family, and we hold you in our hearts. Love, Debbi

God has placed an angel in your hands, and if it may be for just a short while, you have been blessed. I pray that God touches your little angel and heals her body. Stay strong and cherish every single moment you have with your little angel, Allie.

You are in such good hands on the 12th floor. My mother(Gay Smyers) was on that floor from May 03 until Aug 03. She had APL and is currently and hopefully permanently in remission. The nurses and Dr. Berryman were like Angels taking care of her. My thoughts are prayers are with you both and I pray that for a miracle and that your little girl will be ok. I do remember the children that were there with my mother and them being so very sick after their stem cell transplant and at times we didn't think they would make it, but they did and hopefeuly your little girl will too. Take Care...

I have been following Allie's story for a few months. It's very hard to put into words how I feel about your little girl. She's amazing and so strong. When I read of your good days with Allie smiling, talking, blowing raspberries, and caressing your face, it makes me smile because my little Emma (who is 8.5 months) does these things too. She recently started blowing bubbles too! She's very proud of herself!!

I just want you both to know that you have a wonderful, beautiful daughter that has changed so many people in this world. She really is amazing! I thank you so much for sharing her with me. She holds a special place in my heart and I find myself thinking of her throughout the day.
Take care,

You have made me truly realize just how precious life is and to never take it for granted. For that I will always remember you and Allie. Though I don't know everything you are going through, I feel your pain and sorrow having a daughter this is just 3 weeks younger than Allie, and who you so graciously made a comment about how beautiful she was (due to her clothes you understandable thought she was a boy :)) at the candlelight vigil last night, and a father I almost lost to cancer when I was very young.
Jenny, you have so many wonderful qualities about you, I wish I had met you before all of this ever happened for I feel you are someone who I could have become friends with, reading your posting and hearing you last night. Someone strong, full of life, fun loving, and talkative :).
I pray with my daughter and husband every night for you, Andrew, and Allie.

I'm training for the Columbus, OH marathon with Team In Training's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your little girl just gave me a whole new reason to run it!! You and Andrew have such amazing strength to go through everything you have gone through.

HI Jenny,
I too like everyone else thought the candlelight vigil was simply breathtaking. I am thrilled that you and Andrew decided to come down to see it firsthand. I was taken aback at a moment when I saw you hugging your student who was visible upset. You, comforting another, when in fact you are the one who should be comforted. You strength is endless, thank you for giving to us all so unselfishly, and making us realize what is important in life. May God be with you and Andrew and the rest of the Scott/Lawson clan and may Allie have a peaceful night.
All my love,

Jenny and Andrew I just wanted to let you know there is another family in Northern California praying for Allie and your family. As a mother my heart aches for you with an unimaginable force. As a human being I admire your courage, compassion, and strength. As Hellen Keller once said "When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another." I write this as Allie and your family have touched the lives of more people than most people do in a full long life. Your little miracle, Allie has and will continue to touch others. I will continue to pray for Allie and promise to hug my own children a little bit tighter and a little bit longer. May God Bless!

I am still amazed at the number of people reaching out to your family - how many people feel that connection to Allie. What an incredible example of love, strength and family you represent. I have followed Allie's story almost since her diagnosis - when another member of BabyCenter sent your Web site link to our birth club. Miracles do happen and I am so hopeful that somehow Allie will get through this healthy and whole. With all of the prayers being said daily on your family's behalf, who knows what possiblities there are?

Jenny,

you wrote as beautifully as always,thank you again for sharing your heart with us all.

I'm so glad that you now feel that the vigil was a good idea and that you enjoyed it as much as you did,it was so beautiful,one of the most amazing things i've ever experienced .. So many people and so much love,it was a wonderful feeling being there.

I'm sorry Allie is having a bad day,poor sweet little girl,i wish she didn't hurt so much,some gentle sleep is what she so deserves right now,i love you Allie and i hope you rest gently tonight ..

I'm so glad Sam is back where he knows the nurses and they know him,that his family are where they're known as well and that everyone's support circle is complete up there again.I really hope they get his medications settled down soon as well so he can again return home to Ethan ..

Fieldon .. aww what a little darling he is,i just want to reach in the screen and grab him for a snuggle,the picture on his main page right now is just gorgeous,he has the most beautiful smile i doubt anyone could resist.I truly hope his bellyport settles for him soon and allows him to return home so him and Emmaday can be together again as well.

I was thrilled to see the vigil and Allie's story make the headline on the news last night but hey they better had put her up there first,she deserves no less and they'd have known about it if they'd bumped her down the show for anything lol ..

I shed so many tears right now all day when i think of Allie,of you and Andrew going through all this and i smile many smiles when i look at pics of her and think of the moments of joy you share together and now also the moments of laughter and smiles from last night.So many good memories for everyone but especially you and Andrew,i feel honored to have been involved in making last night one of the brightest memories for all of you ..

Love you Jenny,take care of all of you right now.

Theresa xoxo

I took a big step last night. Sept 23rd 2001 my house burned down due to a candle and a kitten. Last night my kids all held their breath as I lit the candle that I swore would never enter my home again. I just had to do it for Allie and you Jen and Andrew. I let it burn for a few hours. Something I thought I would never ever do. Also today in church after communion all the kids from the youth group who went on a prayer mission to Taize France this summer(my daughter included) went up front and each lit a candle for Allie and said a prayer for her and your family.
We all send Love and prayers for continued peace for all of you!

Hi, my name is Adam, and I'm from Southgate, MI. I'm 22 yrs old. I've been trying to keep up with your stories, and reading your logs have really gotten to me. I may not have children of my own, though I wish I did, but I do love children. I truly believe that they are God's gift to this world. A few days ago, I put in my profile a link to your site and putting a note, having whoever read it, to say a prayer for Allie. I know many people have done so. No matter what happens, our thoughts and prayers will be with you always. Allie is definitely a gift from God, and if the worse does happen, in time, your family and Allie will be reunited. You seem like incredible parents, and I am SHOCKED at how strong the two of you are. Other parents would break down, but you on the other hand are celebrating. My girlfriend has 3 kids of her own, and lately I have looked at them, and can't even imagine losing them. You are an inspiration and a perfect example of how parents are supposed to be. I thank you for everything. You have made an everlasting impression on other parents, as well as people who wish to become parents. Best of wishes, good luck, and may God be with you always.~Adam Overholt

Your little Allie is indeed beautiful and quite the little angel. My daughter's best friend went to be with the Lord a month ago at age 13 of leukemia, and Allie's story is sadly familiar. These little ones touch so many lives, and always so positively. I will add you to our prayer list, as your next days will be difficult.

Dear sweet Allie- You don't know me but somehow your story has reached me and my heart has made a spot for you. I have been deeply touched by what you have gone through. If someone were to ask me who I am inspired by, I would have to say it's you. You have given me a whole new perspective on life. You have taught me unconditional love and more importantly, you have shown that one person can touch the lives of so many and change people for the better. For this reason, you are my inspiration. I pray for your comfort and perhaps we will meet in another life so that I may thank you. God bless you sweet Allie.

Jenny, Andrew & Allie -
I met Jenny's mom in the atrium of Medical City back on the Friday night before Allie's stem cell blood transplant. It was late and she was leaving the hospital with a beautiful black and white portrait of the 3 of you in her hand. My husband and I were down there with our son, Reid, enjoying some time away from his room. He is now 18 months and has had seized daily since he was 3 weeks old. He has lots of other issues due to the siezures and was in the hospital for several weeks to begin the Keto Diet and a surgery. Your mom and I visited for a while and shared our stories (we also have an older daughter named Allie) and I've always wondered how your Allie has been doing since her transplant that Saturday. I saw the newscast last night and was deeply saddened that it did not work for her. We live life everyday not knowing if our son will ever get better and I could never imagine having to let him go. Enjoy your time with her now and know that you did everything you could to help her and make her comfortable in her final days. She is so cute and precious and I know she will make a great angel!

God gives us miracles in different forms and Allie is one of them. Be comforted in the fact that Allie is in God's plans and only he knows what he has in mind for her. Maybe it is to make more of us aware of the need for prayer for others.
God Bless all of you. He has already blessed Allie.

Andew, Jenny and Allie,
I wanted to share something that helped me so much to deal with my son's health issues. My son was born with a heart defect and I have encountered so many touching stories of parents surviving the worst...yours included. I felt the need to share this poem.

God Sent to Me an Angel

God sent to me an angel, it had a broken wing.
I bent my head and wondered "how could God do such a thing?"
When I asked the father why He sent this child to me,
the answer was forthcoming, He said listen and you'll see.

"My children are all precious, and none is like the rest.
Each one to me is special and the least is as the best.
I send each one from Heaven and place it in the
care of those who know my mercy, those with love to spare.
Sometimes I take them back again, sometimes I let them stay.
No matter what may happen, I am never far away.
So if you find an angel and you don't know what to do,
remember I am with you. Love is all I ask of you."

Dear Scott Family,

I have been following Allie's story for a while now, and wanted to add a few words here to let you know that my family and I are praying for your daughter daily. You are such strong, loving parents, I commend you for that. Reading Allie's updates brings me so many emotional ups and downs, I don't know how you deal with it everyday. Stay strong, you have so many people all over the world praying for Allie. Her story has touched everyone who reads it. She is such a special little girl. Your family is always in my thoughts.

Jenny and Andrew, like thousands of others I wait up at night to read your posts looking for some small sign of a miracle. Hoping beyond hope that one will come. I have been following your site for the past few months now, it has become an important part of my every day. Since the day I learned of Allie I posted a link to your website through my signature at Ivillage�s September 2003 playgroup. It's an �Allie�s Angels� link.

Your beautiful angel has touched my life in a way that I, like so many others, never thought possible. I also have a little one, Matthew, who was born in September 2003. He will celebrate his first birthday next weekend. Every morning when I wake up my first thought is of Allie and I realize how important this one day with Matthew truly is. Getting to know Allie through your posts has changed my life is such a positive way. I feel that because of her, I have become a better mother. I hug my baby more, appreciate each moment I spend with him and I�ve stopped sweating the small stuff.

God Bless you and your beautiful Allie. This tiny angel has touched lives from every corner of the world and I know that this world is now a better place because of her.

I will continue to pray for you and Allie each day,

I have been following your story for a long time now, and its breaking my heart. Allie is so beautiful and wonderful I am so sorry that this is happening to her.

I check every day for updates just to see how your little angel is doing and when I read the update that started by saying that all her medicine had stopped, I cried because it broke my heart.

Allie is so very precious, her life is worth so much, what a blessing she is, your story is touching so many people all over the world.

I am thinking of you always, Jess, Christina and Sofia xx

I read about Baby Allie from the Labor of Love. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain. I cried reading about what you have been going through. I was really touched when I read about how you were staring into each others eyes for that five minute period. I will pray for you for whatever it is that you are hoping for, and I wanted to tell you that she is a beautiful child. I commend you for doing what many cannot and allowing her her dignity and letting her pass with peace and comfort. This is an incredible gift to her. You are remarkable people. My mother passed away from cancer at the age of 43 in Dec. of 02, three months after my daughter, her first grandchild, was born. She told me that after she died she wanted to be up in Heaven and take care of all the babies that were there until their mothers could join them someday. My mother will take care of Allie until someday you are with her again. I know this. I know that nothing anyone can do will make this better for you. In honor of Allie, my daughter and I will plant a rose bush in my yard that will be beautiful, like she is, and we will think of her. Peace be with you, and love be with her.

It is heartbreaking to know that Allie is fighting so hard and not able to win this battle. My heart goes out to you and your family. I also lost a child, but it was an accident. You are never prepared to lose a child. I was on 21 at the time. She was 4 1/2 yrs old. You will be in my prayers everynight and I will be thinking about Allie not being in pain. PAT

Dear Jenny, Andrew, Amazingly Awesome Angel Allie, and wonderful family...I was so honored to be at your candlelight vigil last night. You don't know me but I've been following your site for a while. I am touched by your plight, your strength, your amazing hearts, your bond and your beautiful baby. I held that candle as high as I could last night. I waved it in the air until the wax dripped on my fingers and I had to stop! I sent the candle to my friend who couldn't be there so she could have something from the night. I met your wonderful family. Talked to Bill and Frances...your brother, Dana and family...and I said hello in the video. I know I am just one speaking for many when I say I wish there was something more I could do. Your family and sweet Allie are touching so many lives. Your words are providing strength for other parents as they deal with their trials and tribulations. I am more patient, more aware, more of many things because of your words. I wish for comfort and peace for you as you move through this portion in your lives. If there is a miracle in store for Allie, I wish it will come soon to help her to health. If not a miracle, then peace, comfort and serenity for you all.

What an amazing thing you and Allie have done.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
The candlelight service was so beautiful and moving. I'm honored to have been a part of it.... When I read my Daily Word last night, it seemed particularly appropriate as it usually does! This is what the message says for 9/11/04:
Dear one, I remember you as a friend and loved one, but also as God's beloved creation who graces my life with love and companionship. You enhance my life, for by your example, I am a more loving, compassionate, and understanding person than I was before we met. Like a shining star that shines out and makes each day brighter. I know that you are forever enfolded in the love of God because you are an expression of that love on Earth. You are able to see the best in me and others and to reveal that best with an integrity that cannot be denied. Dear one, you are ever in my heart and in my prayers. I love you - always. "For God... is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers" -Romains 1:9
May your day with Allie be peaceful and blessed.

Plano, Tx USA - Sunday, September 12, 2004 11:06 AM CDT

Jenny, I have been following Allie's story for a long time and thought it time to add my voice to the chorus supporting and praying for little Allie.

I have a story I want to pass along, it remind me of some of your words from a few days ago,

In a village long ago, There was an old man. All the village children used to bring things to him, hold the object in their cupped hands, and would ask the man, "What am I holding?" and the man would always answer correctly, sometimes a rock, a flower, a toy etc....

One boy, wanted to fool the wise man. He caught a butterfly and took it to the blind man. His plan was to ask the man "What is in my hands?" and of course the man would say "a butterfly." The boy would then ask "ah, but is it alive or dead?" If the man answered dead, he would let it fly from his hands.., if the man answered alive, he would crush it then and there.

The boy took the butterfly to the man, and asked his question. "what is in my hands?" the man answered "a beautiful butterfly." "Ah, but is it alive or dead?" The man looked intently at the boy "That answer, lies in your hands....."

Jenny, you are such an inspiration to me as a Mother. Your unfaltering courage to allow Allie as much dignity and 'quality living' as possible, personified what it means to be a Mother.
Like that boy and his butterfly, we are all entrusted with precious little souls, setting a little one free, has got to be the hardest test to endure.
May God bless Allie and you and your family with love and courage and strength. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Yesterday was my little girl's second birthday. Of course it was a very happy day for us and I sometimes feel guilty about that considering all the people who feel sad for their lost ones on 9/11. When we lit her birthday cake candles, I was thinking about all of you. And since my girl is too young to make a wish for herself, I silently made a wish. I wished that Allie would smile for you every day for the rest of her life -and that her life is by some miracle a long one. I pray, Jenny and Andrew, that you continue to find the strength and grace that has brought you this far. I pray for peace for you in the upcoming days and weeks and months and years. I am so moved by you -I am changed for the better. I was not at your vigil last night physically but believe me I was there in spirit and I lit several candles throughout my house -and said a prayer for you and Allie as I lit each one.

Thinking of you with love and praying for you,

I wish I could've been there last night for the vigil. Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the country. I did however light my candle and visited the online allie vigil at bbc.

I've cried more in the past few days than in a long, long time. I just can't seem to stop crying. It breaks my heart to see all of you knowing that it could have been any of us. It could've been my Allison and that scares me.

Jenny and Andrew, you two are the two strongest people I've ever "psuedo"-met. I feel like I'm a better person for having met you. Thank you for all you've given us.

Allie- You are a beautiful, sweet, innocent baby girl. You have made me hug my Allison just a little bit longer and a little bit tighter. Thank you. Peace be with you.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and precious baby Allie,

I hear that the candlelight vigil was amazing.I am so glad to hear that. I wish I could have been there. I lit my candle last night and said a prayer for sweet Allie. Since I couldn't be there in body I was there in Spirit.

Jenny and Andrew,
You 2 have the utmost respect and love from me. I admire your strength and bravery. You have a beautiful little girl and she is lucky to have you both.

Precious Baby Ally,
such a strong beautiful litlle girl. Keep up that strength. You have 2 parents that love you more than life itself. You are so lucky. I am still praying for your miracle.

Dear God,
Please hold this precious little girl in your arms and take care of her. Take her family under your wing and help them through these hard times. Be gentle and kind they deserve nothing less. Amen...

I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always. Bod Bless and Amen

What a blessing for Allie to have such strong and loving parents to walk with her in this world. What a blessing for you to have such a beautiful spirit to care for. Allie's life has touched so many people. May you feel God's arms around you all as you continue to handle such a difficult experience with such dignity and grace.

You are always in our hearts and prayers. What strong and loving parents you both are! I e-mailed you a couple of months ago, with a song that I keep hearing over you. I found out a couple of weeks ago, that the e-mail never left my outbox. The song goes, "My peace I give unto you. It's a peace that the world cannot give. It's a peace that the world cannot understand. Peace to know, peace to live. My peace I give unto you." I would love to sing it over you, so if you the chance, call me at 214-924-9475. All our love!

Hi Scott family,

I have been following your story for weeks now, and I just wanted you to know that for the rest of my life EVERY TIME I see a giraffe I will think of Allie. I am sure I am not alone in this, every time I see a giraffe now I think of her, and I 'm sure other people do too. Thanks for posting your story and sharing your lives with us, it's a hard one to read because we so want the happy ending for you all, but I like to and want to follow it regardless of the outcome. It is worth more than its weight in gold for what it has shown me. My daughter was born just 2 weeks after Allie (12/31/03), and I appreciate her even more because of knowing about Allie.

I lost a baby before my youngest came along, and I learned that there is no "why" that will ever justify some events, some things just "are". They are not what we want, and nothing we can change - but they still happen, they just "are".

Wishes of peace and prayers for you all,

Debi

SOemthing to share--

Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up your heart..." "You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted.
The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll cut your heart open," he continued,
to see how much damage has been done."
"But when you open up my heart, you'll
find Jesus in there," said the boy.
The surgeon looked to the parents, who
sat quietly. "When I see how much damage has been done, Ill sew your
>heart and chest back up, and I'll plan
what to do next." "But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The
Bible says He lives there. The
hymns all say He lives there.. You'll
find Him in my heart."
The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell

you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood
supply, and weakened vessels.
And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives
there."
The surgeon left.
The surgeon sat in his office, recording his
notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged

Jenny, I left a very similar message on Sam's site, too... I wanted to thank you and Dana last night for letting us be a part of everything you're going through by posting your stories on the web, but I have a cold and didn't dare go near either of you. The vigil was so sweet and emotional. I'm glad you decided to come out at the end. Thank you again for letting everyone be a part of your lives and for sharing Allie with us.

I cannot tell you how much your story and your sweet baby has touched my life. I realized while on vacation how much I was really following your story. I had to find a computer at a public library to check your updates. Tears come to my eyes everytime I read an entry on her site. I hated to read your words about her *passing*, I guess I just didn't want to accept that is in her future. I still hope for a miracle. I have come to realize that you should never take loved ones for granted and your family & Allie has made me see that everyday. I wish you & Allie all the support and strength you need to wish Allie a peaceful and painless goodbye, my thoughts are with you daily and I honestly cannot express how lucky you are to have had this precious time with Allie even if it was shorter than ever expected.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Sweet Baby Allie,

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I think of your family and pray for your family daily. Thank you for sharing your extremely emotional story with the world. You have taught me to cherish every moment, every hour, every day with my children , family, and friends. I celebrated Allie's life the other day with my 2 girls age 2 and 4. We got out our umbrellas and boots and walked in the rain - that is something we have never done before. During our walk we stopped and asked God for a miracle. Last night we lit a candle in our Boston home for Allie. We were there at the vigil in spirit as we said a prayer for Allie. I am so sorry for everything that you and Andrew are going through. Please know that there are 4 people in Boston who are praying for you. God Bless You. Sincerely, The Moore Family

Just wanted you to know how awesome and what a tribute the candlelight vigil was to Allie and her family. You are truly blessed by Allie and loved by so many people. It was good to see you come down to talk with those that love and support you. The news piece on Channel 8 was so true in that we will never forget Allie because of the impact she is having on so many lives. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't even find the words to describe how Alli'e story has affected my life, my outlook and my perspective. My husband I have been suffering multiple miscarriages after our son's birth and were very much in the dumps, questioning God and "why me?" Allie has made me understand that sometimes God works in ways that we don't quite understand; our lives are touched by angels, however brief, for a reason. Allie has taught us patience, love and appreciation. Jennie's spirit is amazing and contagious. I am ashamed of my previous feelings because I realize how fortunate I truly am and how blessed I am. My son is an amazing miracle, and I know that now. I pray everyday for Allie. I am joining the Light for Night team in my state and am in the process of organizing several more people to walk. I am also a school nurse and hope to get my school kids involved in a fundraiser for LTN. Thank you for sharing your story...you don't realize what an impact it has made on my life and my family. God bless Allie and your whole family.

I can't fathom the feelings and emotions that you are going through. I am from the Nov.03 babycenter board and have been following Sweet Allie's progress since this all began. There really isn't anything that I can say that hasn't already been said. I just needed you to know that there is one more person out of the thousands that are plugging for Allie. I hug my children a little tighter and am much more grateful for them than before. Thank you for showing me what having a child really means. LOL

Dearest Jenny Andrew and sweet Allie,
I are struggling to find the words, to descibe how Allie's story has moved and affected me, it is just so unfair, that one little girl has had to endure and suffer so much, but I am amazed by her courage and strength, she is an amazing little girl, you are very blessed to have her in your lives.
I am so thankful that she has been blessed with the both of you as her wonderful parents and her life has been filled to the max with so much love.
Allie your beautiful smile and courage will live with me forever, I will never forget you xxx

I wish that we could have joined you too! Allie is never far from my thoughts and is always in my heart - we talked about her again today ... and if Wisconsin were not so far away we would have been there tonight. You are the most amazing family!!! You and your precious Angel Angel are teaching my children about the deepness of a parents commitment and devotion to a child in the face of the toughest adversity. The undying devotion of family to one another - and as someone else so beautifully put - the fact that nothing is stronger than the love & the human heart!!!

I am still praying for a miracle - but I know that Allie is the biggest miracle of all. As I told you in an earlier post my baby turned 1 a few days ago and he and I send baby kisses and hugs to all of you several times a day!!! My older two children and I send prayers and thoughts and love to you all - Thank you so much for the strength you have shared with all of us and the determination, faith, compassion, patience, and love you have reminded all of us are the most important things in life!

May you all have a good evening and get a chance to snuggle and relax. Thank you again for all you have done to unite people!!! Our hopes, prayers, love and thoughts are with you all!!! Kisses to darling Allie. Hugs. Dia

A little while later I got on the internet and for the last hour and a half I have been reading about your journey with Allie. I talked to a friend and told her your story and tonight your family will be in both our prayers. You are an amazing couple and I am amazed by your courage. God Bless you. You'll be in my prayers.

Dear Scott family,
I have only just recently came upon your site through another site. I have been checking every day to see how Allie is doing. I really don't know what to say except that your daughter and family are in my prayers. I don't exactly know what to pray for, but I guess I just have to pray for Gods will although I admit I don't understand it sometimes. But I know He knows all and I have to trust in him. I can't wait to see pictures of the vigil. If I have another baby,I have two kids already, Molly and Parker, I decided a long time ago that if it was a girl her name would be Allison. I've always liked that name. It makes you think of a beautiful little girl when you hear the name. That is exactly what your daughter is. I hope you have a good night tonight and that it is full of peace. I know you have plenty of people out there to talk to, but if you ever need one more, I'm here. Thinking of you and your family.

Wow.

What an emotional night! The Horowitzes did a beautiful job describing the vigil below, but I just want to add how proud I am of our community for showing up to share our love and support with your and Dana's families. It really amazes me to think that every candle held high in the parking lot tonight probably represented 100 people who wanted to be there but couldn't! The world just seems like a better place right now because of all of that love and light.

Hoping that Allie has another good day tomorrow...

Sweet Allie-
I only recently came across the story of your amazing little life. In the few weeks I have "known" you I have come to love you dearly. You have captured a place in my heart and you have changed me and so many others. I have a little girl named Callie that is a few weeks older than you. Allie and Callie have the same chubby little legs and you both love your raspberries. (Your Mom and I love them too!) I hope you feel the sweet kisses that Callie blows to you each time I have your web site up and she sees your beautiful pictures. Callie is sleeping with her new giraffe we got today - in your honor. We named him Bebe (her only other option was Dada.)
Sweet Allie, you've taught me to savor every moment I have with my Callie and her brothers. You've taught me to hug my kids tighter and that the little things don't really matter. Instead - I am simply so grateful for having healthy children that are able to irritate me! Allie, I truly believe that you are an angel that was given to your Mommy and your Daddy for a reason. I'm having a hard time accepting that this is God's Will - but look at the way you have touched so many lives - what other explanation could there be?
We love you sweet Allie Angel! You will forever be in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.

Wishing your Allie did not have to go through this and you as parents had no idea what this pain felt like.

Also you mentioned that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, you're so correct! www.nccf.org
also Not sure if you know there's a Childhood Cancer Awareness Pin (and they do have Angel pins for parents who've lost a child to cancer). www.goldribbons.org
They were created by Gigi Thorsen who lost her daughter Kelsey to ALL in 1997.

We lit our candles and said our prayers to Allie at 8:30. I also donated plateletes in Allie's honour today. I think of you all the time. I am overwhelmed with the beauty and strength our your spirit. We are all "sisters" in motherhood. We as parents ache for you.
We spent the first day in A LONG time as a family today. We swam, and just finished eating cake for Allie.

You and your family take my breath away.
Peace be with you!

Jenny, Andrew and precious Allie -
I hope and know that tonight's candlelight vigil was wonderful. I was not able to be there, but lit candles throughout my house and prayed with my children about Allie. She is not only a beacon for me but also for my children who are developing their faiths. My children know the unconditional love of a parent for a child and now for the love of a community, country and world for a child so many will never meet!

Like so many others, I feel so very entwined with the life of your special daughter and the two of you. As I read the guestbook entries, I'm awed by the way you all have touched so many people in so many places. Allie is reaching more people with the love of God and family than any of us could hope to do.

I'm blessed to know you and your perfect daughter. You have changed my life and my relationship with my children and husband, forever - thank you!

I continue to pray for a miracle for your baby girl - God's will is not known by any of us, but his peace is granted to us all!

Thank you for allowing so many of us to be a part of your family. Please know that you will always be a part of my family and so many others. Any time I light a candle in my home, I will think of Allie and will say a prayer for your family before the candle is extinguished.

Jenny, It was so nice meeting you tonight at the Candlelight vigil. You are a beacon of light and an amazing person. It was a beautiful night in Allie's honor and I was so glad that I could share in that special time with all of the others. Thank you for taking the time to come down and meet with everyone. It meant a lot to me to see you in person and meet you because I feel like I know you already. I met Bill also and he is such a sweet man. Your family support is just incredible. I'm so glad you have that. Please tell Andrew how special he is as well....both of you and little angel Allie will continue to be in my prayers. By the way, Channel 8 news did an awesome job tonight on the report, and reporting her first was wonderful!!

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Angel Allie,

I cannot express the emotions that I feel right now trying to fathom what you are going through. I am often reminded of how many things that I take for granted and am HUMBLED at the same time. I want you to know that Allie has impacted so many people already in her precious existance. Your family has touched so many lives and your angel is helping us all realize how every moment we have should be cherished. I can only hope and pray that someday if I face something like you have faced, I will have even half of the courage and strength that you have had. It is times like these that we only see one set of footprints in the sand because God is carrying us!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and all of the families that are sharing your pain.

Dear Scott Family,
I have only been introduced to your site towards the end of Allie's journey, but I wanted to let you know what a beautiful baby she is! She has such an angelic face. I'm sure her personality is just the same.
I admire the strength of all of you. Your journal entries moved me. Just like everyone else, I wish I could do something for Allie. The celebration of her life was a fantastic idea. You had plenty to celebrate.

May you continue to find strength and courage,

Jenny, Andrew, Allison and Family,

I just wanted to tell you how much your sweet and beautiful daughter has captured the hearts of not only myself, but seemingly thousands (if not millions) of people. It is simply amazing to see how one child can bridge gaps between families, pull children closer into the arms of their parents, and bring strangers together who would not have met otherwise. She is helping to build foundations of love, friendships and commitment. It is beautiful to see this - especially in a world that is so downtroden at times. Even on the anniversary of a day so traumatic and heartbreaking as 9/11 - Allie has made people come together out of altrustic love, inner peace, and harmony. What a feat for someone who is not even one years old!!!!

Not only did people come to rally at the hospital, they rallied for her in their homes miles away, in their communities while they lit candles and held hands (even in continents away). People who called upon God outloud or even in the quiet calmness of their minds. People rallied on Babycenter too - and at one time, there was over 90 people saying prayers and exchanging tributes for Allie. It was so heart felt and pure - and to have the honor to participate in this was something that will stick in my mind for many years, if not forever. I have been moved to tears for your daughter... a tiny person I have only seen pictures of on your website. A little girl who has captured my heart completely and has made me look at my own daughters with so much joy, appreciation and love.

I think Allison truly is a beacon of light and I think it is a light that will continue to radiate forever. The honor in which you and your family have choosen to celebrate her is beyond describable.

I know we have never had ocassion to meet, and probably never will. But I know that I consider it a privledge to have read about you and your daughter; to witness the strength and adversity you have endured, and most of all to learn that nothing is stronger than the unconditional love between a parent and child.

Whether you are conscious of it or not: Both you and Allison have taught the WORLD an invaluable lesson:

NOTHING CAN CONQUER THE TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN HEART.

Thank you for allowing me to share in the celebration of Allie's life. It has been an honor.

May God bless you in love and peace,

Michelle K. and family

Andrew and Jenny-I am so happy Lance Armstrong visited your site! I had emailed him a few weeks ago when you first posted the pic of Allie with her Livestrong bracelet and told him about your beautiful baby. I also told him he had to check out the pics of her with one of his bracelets and read about your brave little girl. I am so glad he took the time to visit her site. I have tears in my eyes as I write this because you two have been so brave during your little girl's struggle. I am the mom of a 13 month old boy and cannot imagin having to face what you are. I hope Allie knows how much she is loved and how much she has touched many lives.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie

I've been captivated by your story it fills my heart and breaks it at the same time as well. I recently gave birth to a baby girl March 16 04 at Medical City. I know that you are in good hands there, the nurses are great. We meet several while Charlotte was in the NICU her first week.
I just wanted you and your family to know that we pray for you all every night now and Charlotte has let me know that Allie can borrow her guardian angels they kept her safe when she couldn't catch her breath. Maybe they can do the same for Allie with her White Blood Cells.

All our hope and prayers,

We so wanted to be there tonight. But unfortunatly it was to late to bring my son (who is 13 months old) & then the 45 min. drive home.

But we did light a white candle tonight for Allie (as well as one for the 9/11 victims and families).

As every night we hold you all in our hearts.

I'm so sorry we couldn't be there tonight but we had 2 candles burning bright here. One for Miss Allie & one for 9/11. The story on Channel 8 was beautifully done and made it feel like we were there after all.

Today was "Celebrate Life Day" in our home in honor of Allie. We stayed in our jammies all day long, painted, built blanket forts, tickled each other and hugged and hugged and hugged all day long. Thank you once again, Allie, for the reminder and nudge to celebrate every moment of life! And thank you Jenny & Andrew for sharing your precious angel with the rest of the world. My life has been changed forever.

We love you!

We have never meet, my name if Jennifer and I live on Long Island in New York. I just wanted to add to Allie's Guestbook and let you all know that I will be thinking of Allie and all of you that love her, praying to God that he continues to give you all strength as HE has in the days before.

Your sweet sweet Allie is just precious. I am a fairly new mom, my son is two years old, and I will continue from this day forward in honor of your daughter, to not take a single second with him for granted. I will stop and smell the roses more when he and I are together and not "sweat the small stuff".

May God Bless You All.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and sweet baby Allie,

Our candle is burning bright here in Georgia for precious Allie. I feel as if Allie is my own thanks to your beautiful journal entries. I think about you all day long, saying little prayers here and there for our little Allie. I have to thank you as so many others here have done for making me a better mother. Your daughter and the website you've created for her have made a bigger impact on me as a mother than any single experience I've had in the past 4 years as a parent. I have three small children ages 3 1/2, 2, and 6 mos. It is often very crazy and chaotic here, and you can bet there is always at least one in tears or having a fit. Since I discovered your site three days ago, I have learned to cherish this noise. I have truly changed my entire parenting style. I promise you that Allie will always be with me in my heart. I am a better mother because of her, and my children thank her for giving them a more patient mommy who holds them closer and longer these days. Scrolling through your guestbook and reading your journal entries... it is simply amazing HOW MUCH beauty, joy, and pure GOODNESS one person has brought to this world in such a short time. She has impacted more people in 8 months than most people do in a lifetime.

Thank you for sharing her with all of us. Our prayers are with you daily... hourly. Big hugs and kisses to Miss Allie.

Love,
Tiffany Borner and family

I have thought about Allie all day & have my favorite candle lit in her name all day. I went out today and bought a few Ty giraffes and put them in my baby's room to be a constant reminder of your sweet angel Allie. I can't say enough how much your family and your baby girl have touched my life. I find myself thinking of all of you in the middle of my day to day routine ~ often times crying at the drop of a hat. You are so strong and your love for your daughter is so pure. I ache when I think that her life could be coming to a close. I don't know where you get the strength but then again when I look at her beautiful face and the way she radiates love, the strength must come from her. I will pray for you all again tonight and am anxious to hear all about your day and how sweet Allie is doing today. We love you Allie, sweet dreams baby.

I became familiar with your story on BabyCenter.com about a month ago. As previous people have mentioned, your story has touched my heart. I have sat at the computer and cried and cried as I read your updates but I have also wiped away the tears and realized that we need to cherish every moment with our children. Thank you Allie and the Scott family for sharing your story with us and for showing us how precious life is. Due to distance, I could not be a tonight's vigil but did visit the online vigils and said a prayer for you. I will never forget you.

As I have followed your story, I am amazed at your strength and honesty as you share with others the details of your daily celebrations and struggles. I am lost for words, knowing that there are probably none that will bring comfort. However, I will add my well-wishes and prayers, but most of all I just send hugs and more hugs!! Hang in there!

Jenny and Andrew,

My husband, my 3 year old son, and I joined the 500+ people tonight at the hospital to celebrate Allie's life. It was truly amazing.

I also wanted to say that Janet St. James from Channel 8 did a wonderful story on Allie. I thought it was really well done. I was so excited to see that her story was the lead story tonight. She has touched so many people in such a short period of time.

We continue to pray for strength for your entire family.

Sweet Sweet Scott Family - I lit my candle tonight, turned off the lights and watched it glow as I prayed for your family and all of the other families who have had to deal with this awful disease. My grandfather lost his battle with luekemia in January 2 weeks before my daughter was born.

I hope someday you are able to grasp the impact you and your beautiful gift from God have had on the world. Parents are holding their children tighter and people are trying to make the world a brighter place to live. I know I am. Your words and your strength are amazing.

I am praying that however long Allie has remaining on this earth that her time is filled with peace and unending love.

God Bless you, Jenny, Andrew and Amazing Allie!

Your beautiful journal writing and story have made me a better mother and person. Especially when I get tired and don't feel like reading that 3rd bedtime story to my son. Now I think how thankful and lucky I am to have my son in my life and take that extra step to go the extra mile and savor every moment with him. God bless you and thank you for changing my life for the better! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful sweet sweet Allie.

I just wanted to say that in Allie's short life, she has impacted more lives than most people can in a lifetime. I pray for your family every night and not a second goes by when I don't think of Allie...especially when I look at my own daughter born shortly after Allie. You have reminded me that it doesn't matter if my daughter doesn't eat her peas or if she doesn't sleep through the night...we will have tomorrow and the days after that together. Thank you for reminding me to live each day to its fullest and to love, love, love. Thank you for touching my life. Allie is already an angel.

Tonight at 8:30 Dallas time 325 candles were lit for Allie in Denver Colorado. My DD and 200 families met for a picnic and fun at the local park, each was given an envelope with a stamp and address to make a donation for Allie (if they choose). At exactly 8:30 Dallas time(7:30 MST)... We started with one candle(Allie), then 2 more for her parents, then some singing as the candles were all lit. We sang and had prayers and just hugged our children. We are all so blessed to be touched by Allie and her parents. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter's life with us. We will place this night in our hearts for a long time and light a candle in loving tribute to a sweet little angel name Allie Scott.

I only learned of your site 2 days ago and I wish I hadn't visited it. That sounds harsh, but I don't mean it to be that way. Unfortunately we all like to sit in our comfortable worlds and not think of the sad things that happen to others. I sit here with tears running down my face and my heart aches, but I am thankful, because it reminds me to live and to love. Thank you Allie for teaching us all one of life's most valuable lessons, to love one another.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Angel Allie:

September 11 - a day I will never forget as long as I have the privelage of being alive.

This year 2004 on September the 11th, I witnessed something so emotional and powerful - I will never forget.

We arrived at the hospital parking lot to find a sea of people. People that were there for a cause. And what a cause it was.

First was the gathering. Then looking up at the Scott Family on the 12th floor waving to us. Then the lighting of the candles. Then the saying of prayers. Then the singing. I have yet to witness anything like this event in my life.

Then - Jenny and Andrew came out of the hospital to greet all of us. Then she spoke. She thanked us all for being there and said hello to all. Dana even got to speak.

What a privelage it was to be there on this beautiful night in Dallas. The candles were beautiful. The people were beautiful. The messages were beautiful. The handshakes, hugs and tears - amazing. What a support team the Scott's have.

I am just blessed to have seen this event with my own eyes.

This is what Allie is teaching all of us. To be united. To be caring of one another. To come together - even under bad circumstances. This Angel has taught me more about family than any other person that I know. And for that Allie - I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You, like your mother are a teacher. And we all know, without teachers we would not know as much as we could know.

With that said - I want to thank the entire Scott family for sharing their Angel Allie with all of us.

God bless you all, and thank you Allie Scott.

To celebrate your life today, my stepson, daughter and I had a scavenger hunt. We laughed and talked and hugged one another. I think of you a lot, and wonder if you and your family will ever know how much your life has affected mine. I don't know any of you, nor will I ever I assume. There is a group on MSN that I belong to that has 15,000+ members, and we all know your story. We all think of you, pray for you, and rejoice with your family that Angel Allie is here. Tomorrow, I will go to church and once again bring a prayer request to my church, and we will all ask God to touch you, as he has so obviously done so far. If I could do more, I surly would. Allie, you are a beautiful baby.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,

It was a pleasure to be at Allie's candlelight vigil tonight. What a beautiful tribute to "the girl"! (I got a real kick out of hearing from Dana's post that this is what you call Allie!)

Thank you so much for coming down to the parking lot. It was wonderful to see you both in person!

I hope the glow from our candles warms little Allie's heart. The best news tonight was hearing that Allie had a good day.

Wishing you all sweet sleep and a gentle day tomorrow.

The candlelight vigil tonight at Medical City was amazing. There was one woman with her kids who had driven up from Austin, another with her baby here from east Texas. It was wonderful to hear you speak, Jenny, as well as the grandparents, and Dana. So many of your students were there! Every kid should have a great teacher like you. Your poise and your strength blow me away. I'll wear my Allie ribbon and remember you in my prayers.

You are so incredibly strong. You never cease to amaze me with your ability to write so honestly. Seeing everyone with their candles was amazing.

Thank you,

I have 2 candles lit tonight in Missouri. One small one and one big one. The little one is for Allie and the big one is for the love and compassion that she she has brought out in the world. I don't sign the guest book often, but I do read your posts. I can still remember the picture you posted of her in the r through, you deserve it so much. I wish I could be at the vigil tonight. My heart is definately there.

Our candle is lit in honor of Allison!!

As I look through all the pictures of Allie on your web site, I can't help but think how wonderful it is that even while fighting such a horrible, ugly disease, Allie is still just as beautiful as ever.

I think I can speak for everyone when I tell you that Allie is so special to all of us out here. You have blessed us all by sharing her story with us - thank you for that.

My husband and I celebrated Allie's precious life today by taking the kids to the San Diego Zoo and visiting the giraffes.

As always, our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and your entire family.

My dear Aunt Mary (78 years old tomorrow) is dying as I type this message. She is in a hospital in Pontiac, Michigan. She may only have a few days left. Reading about your little girl makes me think about heaven and how Aunt Mary will once again be with her parents, her siblings and her friends who have gone before her. I know heaven is a peaceful, beautiful place where no one suffers. I know that when Allie is ready to go, she will be greeted by loving friends and relatives. She will be rocked and cuddled, played with and loved for all eternity. And maybe my Aunt Mary will hold her and they will walk to the light together. I will be thinking of you and Allie and praying for a gentle transition to God's loving arms.

Sweet Allie,

I lit a candle tonight at 8:30. I closed my eyes and could almost feel the celebration of your sweet soul. My baby Scott put his head on my shoulder and we swayed together outside on this cool September night. I will remember you always Allie. I will think of how you touched so many lives and celebrate every September 11th. I will remember.

I have been so touched since learning of your story. I read every day to find out how your beautiful little girl is doing. My dh now comes home and asks, How's Allie today? I am a more patient parent to my 4 beautiful children. When my two youngest were outside screaming tonight just for the pure joy of it, I let them. Who cares? Why do we have to make our children stop making happy noises just because it's noise?! We don't! We should rejoice that they can make those noises and that we are able to hear them.
I have lit my candle in Az. (In a very appropiate giraffe print holder.) I will leave it lit and continue to pray for your family.
With love and peace for your family from ours,

Our family's candle is lit for Allie. Thank you so much for sharing her beauty and your sorrows with the world. It's brought so many of us parents closer to our children. It's a pity that the cost has been so high for you. Hug that beautiful little girl for me, and a hug to each of you, for your strength, your dignity, and your love. Making the decision to stop treatment is so very commendable, and brave. I'll continue to pray for a miracle for little Allie. And congradulations on having such a wonderful, beautiful daughter, for however long she graces this earth.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,

I was sent your site from a friend on a day when medical issues are weighing heavily on my mind. I want to thank you so much for the courage your words carry and your attitude toward celebrating life. Sometimes we tend to get buried in the "what ifs" and "why me" syndromes and forget that every minute that God gives us to share with family and friends is a gift to be cherished.

I will so happily keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I'll keep your candle vigil going by lighting a candle each day for your angel and will be checking back often to see how you are all doing.

If Allie does have to join God, she was certainly blessed to have such two wonderful people to spend her time on earth with along with your extended family and friends.

May God bless you all and forever watch over you.

Sincerely,
Barbara

I would like to celebrate her life along with you, and commend you for the incredible strength and love you have for your beautiful little angel. Thank you for sharing her with the world.

I wonder how many candles are aglow right now all around the world to celebrate Allie's life. I bet there are many more than one might guess. I have my candle lit and I have been praying for Allie quite a bit this evening. She is a constant in my thoughts though. I am reminded of Allie and you, Jenny, in so many of my daily activities. My heart aches for your family. You have such a moving way with words, Jenny, so honest and open. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for making us think about childhood cancer. You may never know the good you have done by bringing the topic of Leukemia into people's everyday lives. More awareness equals more money which equals more research. You have done great things. My prayers are with you. My prayers are with Allie. Hugs to you from Grovetown, GA.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and dear sweet Allie
As I'm typing this the tears are flowing, my heart goes out to your family. I became aware of your website only a month a half ago and check in on a regular basis. Jenny, I commend you on your strength to post every night. Thank you for sharing your story and pictures with all of us. Allie is such a BEAUTIFUL child - those cheeks look deliciously kissable! I've come to realize, that it is she who has taught us - for each of us I'm sure there are different lessons but for me, she has taught me to live for the moment (not the future), love like there's no tomorrow & to cherish my little Emma (3 months) even more than I already do. The photo of Allie reaching just broke me to tears - it's almost like she knows she won't be around to tell you years from now so she's telling you now while she can "I love you mommy & daddy - thank you for loving me like you do". I thought the same for the moment you shared Jenny where you and Allie carressed each others face for 5 minutes - she's letting you know you put up a good fight. We will pray for Allie's comfort, your peace & the blessings that are to come from Allie's life here on Earth. As I think of Allie & the joy she's spread to her family and strangers across the world, I think of the song by Kathy Trocolli called "Go light your World". If you haven't heard it, find it and listen to it. How appropriate it is tonight for the candlelight vigil. Hugs and kisses to sweet little Allie - you are a precious gift to us all.

I will be lighting a candle for sweet Allie in Las Vegas. The BBC boards suggested doing random acts of kindness yesterday in honor of Allie. I have vowed to take it a step further and perform random acts of kindness every day for the rest of my life. I started today by anonymously picking up someones check while I was eating breakfast out with my children. I had tears in my eyes while I did it...I am sure that the waitress thought I was crazy, but I was just thinking of how much sweet Allie has touched my life. I am almost 40 years old, but Allie's life has affected so many more people than I ever will, but I am going to strive to have a positive impact on other lives EVERY DAY in honor of Allie, and each time I do I will say a prayer for all of you. I wish I could be there tonight, it will be a beautiful demonstration of the love we all have for your family.

I just wanted to let you know that there's a candle burning in Delaware for Allie. I couldn't be there at the vigil in Dallas, so I'm holding my own here. There are no words to describe your incredible strength. Please know that Allie has made a difference. If my 9 month old baby wakes up 100 times tonight, I'll hug and kiss him and not mind one bit. You really have made me count my many blessings in having a healthy son. My prayers are with Allie and all of your family.

I don't know where to start. You make me hug and kiss my children tighter and more often each day. You strength inspires me. I came across your website by accident and I am so glad that I got to know Allie through the website and I have laughed and cried with you. My daughter had Crohn's diease at the age of 2 (she is 4 now), it is not life threatening but painful and uncureable. Your actions and strength make me handle her illness in a whole new light. I also know that it is not easy to see your child in chronic pain, and my support is with you. But you need to do what you are doing tonight you need to celebrate that beautiful child, she wouldn't want her mommy sad, and love her for as much time as she has left. And always remember that you have complete stranger all over the world (here in PA) who will celebrate Allie's life with you and grieve with you, and you will always be in our thoughts.

Dearest Jenny, Andrew, and Precious Baby Allie,
I will be lighting a candle tonight for you. I will say a prayer and hope God hears it. I read your posting from last night and i still am amazed at the strength you have. You all are truly my heroes. My little girl Emily is so upset that Allie is not doing well. She said to me last night"Mommy she won't be able to go to school." She has always been so worried about school. Emily missed the first 2 weeks of school because her blood counts were so low. She hurts inside that she has had the oppurtunity to go to school and little Allie will not. Emily is only 5 years old but very smart and has a huge heart. Your story has touched my little girl and I so much. We read it all the time and look at the pictures. Allie is such a beautiful little girl. Like I have said before she truly is an angel on earth. My thoughts are always with you and your family. My prayers will be with you forever. Lots of love and God Bless!!!

Once again, I send my thoughts and best wishes. I will drink a toast to Allie as I light my candle in her honor. Although I would love nothing more than to attend this evenings celebration, my parental obligations dictate otherwise. Your words from last night's post lifted me up. I was having a difficult time with the news--especially all day at work on Friday. Jenny & Andrew, you continue to inspire a nation by your selfless acts of love and compassion. You make me proud to be a Texan, and especially proud to be a parent. I have and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and more importantly, in my heart.

wow....i am at a loss for words...i have just turned 18 and i have a 4 month old son. he is my life. i cannot imagine what you are going through. you are a much stronger of a family for her than i think i could be. i cried the whole time i read your story and every time i think about it. i know that beautiful little angel will overcome this somehow. i really feel that she will get well and remain on earth. and if not, my baby brother is there waiting for her. she is gorgeous and the faces she makes, i see in my son and as it brings me joy, it breaks my heart. i am a very emotional person, and reading your story makes me feel as if i know you all personally. if i lived withiin a couple of hours driving distance you can bet i would bring you all meals and spend time with you to try to help. but i live in south carolina right now. i look forward to seeing her recover and please continue to be strong and post more pictures of that amazing angel!!!
Many hugs, kisses, love and thoughts!!

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be lighting a candle and sending prayers your way tonight. I am having a tag sale tomorrow and have decided to use the money as a donation to the Light the Night walk in Hartford, CT on Sept. 23 as a tribute to your little girl who has done so much for so many people in such a short time. Always thinking of you. Hugs & prayers...

I find myself visiting to check in on how Allie is doing. Tears fall for you and what you all are going through. Tears fall for such a sweet and beaitful child who inside her heart must know the strength and courage of her parents. I read through the other posts and Allie ahs touched SO many people. So many lives may change because of your story and Allie's journey. On September 11th, I think back to 3 years ago. my son was 6 1/2 and every day i worry about the pitfalls of life. He is 9 now and i try to cherish each word and each day. If anything , you have made me want to be a better person.
I am working but will make sure at 8:30pm I stop what i am doing and say a silent prayer.
I look at the pictures of your amazing daughter and the light that shines from you both and I find joy. The love that you share with not only Allie, but everyone radiates from you both.
From Burbank , California please give Allie a hug from my family.

I was sent here by a friend on a message board. I just celebrated the first birthday of my son on August 9th. You words and story have touched me deeply. I grieve for you and your family . . . stay strong and remember that only you hold every moment of your daughter's life in your heart. Without your strength, and without your breath of life, her memories can carry on limited. I pray for your strength and I pray that your beautiful and precious angel may find peace and comfort in the arms of the angels.

My younger cousin has been living with ALL for 8 years now, and our family has traveld down your road of hospitals and procedures. It is something no adult, neverertheless a child, should have to even witness (no less live though).

Stay strong and bless you all.

I wanted to send many prayers from Scotland. Tonight I will light a candle for Allie, hoping to add in some small way to the celebration of her life. And I thank you for sharing her with us. It is a wonderful gift for all of us to know her through your beautiful words. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I am always so moved everytime I log into Allie's website. So moved by the courage of each and every one of you, especially Allie. Allie has held a special place in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers each and every day since Frances first told us. She has been special to everyone at Hillwood since we first even heard about her expectant birth! I want to say "Happy Life Sweet Allie! Happy Life!" You have brought smiles to us. You have brought tears. You have brought prayer to us. You have brought joy whenever there was an improvement. You have touched us. Happy life Allie! Thank you for reaching out to each and everyone of us. A truly, heartfelt thank you -

I just began reading this website, and I have to tell you I know where you all are. Our 3 year old son was diagnosed with AML (M7) last August. We had a cord blood transplant in Jan. that didn't work. This past June 15 th he relasped and we began chemo including Mylotarg, I know all the risks with this drug but it got him back into remission, of course we had to do something else because it won't keep him there, so our hospital sent us to St, Jude for an experimental procedure called a Haplo, where they take a half match of one of the parents and give the child that bone marrow, this study just began in March but it is one of our last hopes. I read your story and I think maybe if its not to late this could help your sweet little girl. I just feel so guilty that I didn't know about your sitution sooner so I could have given this information to you. I know exactly how you feel, I am so fearful of this experimental transplant because there are so many risks involved, but if it will save Daegen we will do it. As you may know, children with AML do not have the best prognosis, it would be much better for them if they had ALL. When I read your story I feel as if there are other people living my exact life. WE lived in the hospital for the first 10 months after diagnosis and then 2 months at home and then since June 15th relapse have been in the hospital since. I want you to know that althought I don't know you or your family, my heart is with you. I am praying every day that God will be with your family. I also feel as you do, that my son has touched more lives and made such a difference in his short life that perhaps is work is done. This may be the same for your little girl, what the two of them have done in their short little lives is more than most people do their entire life. Of course, God would want these angels at his side, he needs them to help pour out the rain. Please if there is anyway to talk about these issues with your doctor find out if St. Jude can help they are the only hospital doing this type of transplant for children. If it is to late, I pray that your family will be blessed with the grace of God, and that every time it rains, you will know that your little angel is helping God. I would love to have the opportunity to talk with you, when your life and my life is not so crazy. We also have a website www.dmanhero.com. Please if you get the chance take a look at it. From one mother to another. My heart goes out to you. Sincerely, Janelle

Are those your eyes
Is that your smile
I've been looking at you forever
yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Can this be real
Can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
and are you the same you
It's all so strange
How can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Such a long time ago I had given up
on finding this emotion ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I found you somehow
and I've never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time
For the first time

I love Rod Stewart, and this song was my favorite while pg and even now, when I look at my amazing 2 year old and 7 month old. It makes me think of when you say that Allie reaches out and carresses your face.

Jenny, you have MADE me WANT to be a better mom. You have shown what true motherhood is. God handpicked two very special people to guide and help Allie meet her purpose, and He did a wonderful job of it. God bless you and everyone with you.

Allie, Today on a day where so much remembering of ugliness is occurring, YOU have helped so many families go out together and celebrate love and family. You have brought happiess to so many people, you make me cry at your innocence, you are beautiful and so very loved. If only every baby in this world can be loved by you, we would all live in a better place. Thank you for being you.

Love, hugs, and raspberries

Hello Jenny, Andrew, and little bitty baby Allie :) I just sat here reading some of the guest book entries. People sure have a lot of nice things to say, so kind with nicely put words. Guess what I am doing to celebrate Sept 11th, our terrifying day to remember in 2001! I am taking my children to get pictures done, in memory of all the families who lost loved ones, and of course, because this is Allie's day :) I set up an appointment at the Picture People and then we are going to go swimming. I'm not sure if I am going to dress them up in dresses, or swimming suits! I think I will do swimming suits, after all - Why dress up when you can have fun :) I'll sneak a picture before the lady takes her own, ( snickers ) and also take some of the girls swimming :)

Allie just has no clue how many people out there know her, and love her. I dream some times that Allie will get better, grow up and look back and think, Wow... I made that huge of an impact? Can you imagine knowing how special you are??? I saw the pictures last night ... I couldnt look at first, Im having a hard time thinking about letting go... After I looked I just cried, still am right now. She is so beautiful, She really is. The picture of her reaching up - she still reaches out. So strong, just so darn strong :)

Well, I'll end this before I go on and on like I always do and want to. Just know that you are in my thoughts Allie, Jenny and Andrew. Always in my thoughts. I'll light my DD first birthday "care bear" candle tonight for Allie at 8:30. My dd Alexis had a Care Bear Birthday Party. It's really cute - It has a pink care bear hugging a number 1 with hearts on its belly sitting down. I was going to save the candle for something special in our family, but as far as Im concerned Allie is family, and Im going to use that candle for her, too. Both my daughters have their own special candle we save. They will use it once for their first birthday, and again when the number one joins another number like 10... :)

Allie - I may light a candle for you, but my heart shines brighter because of you.

Bye bye

My son introduced me to Allie and this wonderful family through this website. We are blessed with 2 beautiful granddaughters, but we have also had to deal with the loss of another baby girl and I was so happy to see you are celebrating Allie's life, especially the tree planting. We look into our back yard and the Jordan tree dazzles us with beautiful color every season and we remember.

Scott family, I must say that I have been following your story for sometime now and everytime I read it, it either fills me with tears or with smiles. You have been in my prayers for so long that I have come to feel you as a part of my family. I have been lighting a candle in Allie's name ever since I read your story and will continue to do so even thereafter. Tonight though, I will be sitting with my whole family in the front of our garage with a candle and send celestial hugs to Allie. I have also spread the word to a couple of our neighbors, and they too will be doing the same. God Bless.

Today I walked in memory of a little boy who was a student at my children's school. He was diagnosed with AML at the age of 4 and attending kindergarten at the school. My son is 4 and is attending kindergarten. The first day of school the first person I met was the Grandmother of this little boy. She has another grandson starting 4 year old kindergarten. When she told me who she was and I saw her beautiful heart necklance holding a picture of her precious grandson, Sam, I started to cry. I cried for her, for her grandson Sam, and for little Allie. She asked if we were going to do the walk for Sam on Sept 11th. She said this was the 5th annual and he would've been in the 5th grade this year. I wasn't sure what was on the agenda, but we'd try.

My kids are active in soccer and it just started again. My oldest child is 7 and she had two soccer games scheduled for Saturday 9/11. One at 8am and one at 10am. She told me that she wants to walk for Sam and babies like Allie. She didn't want to play in the 2nd game. I was soooo proud of her. I told her so and told her that soccer is nothing compared to helping find a cure for leukemia.

Yesterday, when I took my son to school I saw the grandma. I told her that we were walking and about my daughter not wanting to play soccer. She started to cry. She was so touched that a 7 year old who never knew Sam wanted to help.

Today was the walk. The grandma saw us and immediately came over to offer a hug and thank us for coming. Ironically my sister-in-laws parents were there too! Her Dad is a retired doctor and he had been their family doctor and they knew Sam. What a small world. So we walked together with them as I talked all about Allie.

After the walk, we went over to say good-bye to the grandma and my daughter started to tell her about Allie. She was so struck by Allie, as we all are. She was so excited to hear about the number of teams that are walking for LTN (we walk Thursday). She too says that there will be a cure found. She offers her love to you and cried about her grandson. But she continues to frequent the hospital once a month. She said the doctors and nurses were so good to them that she takes cookies and donates toys for the kids. Again, another child who has touched the lives and helping more kids.

The last few nights when I go to bed and think of Allie. I can't help but think Jenny of your Dad. I miscarried once at 8 weeks and lost a part of myself. But I remember something my Mom said that makes me think of you. My Mom said that my Grandpa (who I adored!!!) knew that all these Great Grandkids of his were here on earth and he wanted one to share with himself in heaven. One that he could hold and care for. I can't help but think that this is true of Allie. I selfishly don't want her to go. But then I think that your Dad is waiting for her and his only Grandchild and he wants to hold her too. He wants to love her and give her a painfree life. How awesome to know that she'll have Grandpa to love.

As always Allie, we send our love & prayers. We too are lighting a candle for you tonight sweetness. God Bless you Allie!!!

and her family in love with the beautiful Allie and praying so strong each day.

Someone posted about Allie on a message board, and I've been praying for you all since I first read about her. You are an amazingly strong family and also so blessed. Yes, Allie's life will be a short one but it has been filled with lots of memories and she has touched and changed many people all over this country. I will continue to pray- for her peace and your comfort.

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to your beautiful little family. Hearing your painful and touching story has truely made me appreciate every moment in life and has made me realize that no matter how rough the waters get, that they can always get much much worse.
I have never appreciated my son and his health so much in his entire being, but learning about all that you have gone through as parents has made me give it all a second look- Allie is a gift from God. She has tought me a very valuable lesson in life: to enjoy every waking moment for it is just too precious not to.
I thank you Allie for teaching me this and I pray for you baby girl: You are so special and magical things will happen for you... I can feel it. You have touched me in a way that no other human has before.
Most of all- I thank you, Jenny and Andrew for sharing your heart-felt and painful story with us all. Your strenghth and courage have changed my life forever.

Some people live their entire lives not being able to tell you what they may have done to improve another person's life. Isn't it simply amazing that such a tiny being, has had more of an impact on the lives of hundreds, all over the world, than someone who has lived to be 80. The strength she has shown in fighting this terrible disease is obviously inherited from both you and Andrew. You, Jenny, have shown me so much in the way that you valued every single moment with Allie. Every movement, every smile, every rasberry, was and is something that you treasure. I have realized in a very short time that every moment with my daughters is something to cherish and hold close. Everytime my daughter asks me to watch a movie for the 20th time with her is a chance for me to enjoy holding her close. You have taught me that. I only hope that if I am ever faced with a life changing situation, that I am able to handle it with the same strength and grace that you have. Thank you Jennie and Andrew, for allowing us to follow your story. You have been incredible role models, and your precious daughter should be proud that she was given the parents she was. May God Bless and watch over you baby Allie, and may he give all of you comfort and peace.

I just learned about your family last week and I don't think I have ever cried so many tears. I want you to know that in this short time, your family has changed me - changed me as a person, as a mother, and as a wife. I don't think I have ever had so much patience with my 2 year old, nor has it ever been so easy to simply cherish the moment. No more worries about being late, making a mess, the laundry. I am enjoying my child like I never had before. Allie is a gift from God. Some people live their entire lives and never touch anyone - never make a difference. She has done both. Thank you for sharing such a private and painful journey. I keep you all in my prayers. What a blessing she is.

I just want to be another person sending thoughts and love to your family. Your story is very heart-breaking to me. I have a 16 month old son and I have had non-Hodgkins lymphoma twice. I relapsed during my pregnancy and went through chemo. when my baby was five weeks old. I have been in remission again since last October. Cancer scares me more now than when I was originally diagnosed in 2000. But it is a gift as well, it makes you prioritize your life seriously and forever. It makes you realize what a gift life really is. You guys are amazingly strong. People tell me how strong I am all the time, but I think what you are going through is much, much harder than what I have gone through. So from a cancer survivor, and another Lance fan, LIVESTRONG like you already have. Please give your sweet, beautiful baby a hundred thousand kisses from all of us out here.

She is a beautiful baby. She is lucky to have such loving parents and so many people who love and pray for her. My thoughts and prayers are with Allie today and always. I will be with her and your family in spirit tonight as I light a candle.

Dear family,
I have visited your journal several times. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I think that the celebration of Allie's life was a beautiful idea. We as a family will be celebrating her life as well. My niece was diagnosed with lukemia several years ago, although she is still with us today we as a family had dedicated our time to help fund the lukemia and lymphoma society to help find a cure. We have a team participating in a triathalon this morning in California in honor of Allie and several others. God Bless you all!

I have been saddly reading of your Angel Allie for the past few weeks. After reading your post about celebrating her life, I thought I would finally write and try to be upbeat too. When my mom passed on some 13yrs ago while I was pregnant with my 1st child, I decided that I would not celebrate her passing date but I would celebrate her birth because without her I would not be here and neither would my four children. SO, Every March 5th I gather my husband and my children and we have a birthday cake. We light the candles, sing happy birthday and then enjoy the cake. I tell them happy stories and they ask me questions. We all look forward to this day and it has becaome a long standing tradition that fills my heart with joy. So I too would rather celebrate life and all of the wonderful memories it gives to us. Here's to you, Allie and to your wonderful, sweet and loving life.

I know you dont know me but I feel as if I know you both (even more so because Jenny, you look EXACTLY like a girl I used to work with who is about the same age as you and she was always like a little sister to me). I love Allie. She is the most beautiful little angel Ive ever seen. I cant image what you are really going through but Im soo happy to see you celebrate her beautiful life.
Love always, Erika and Connor (PP Dec. 2000)

I have read Allie's updates sometimes, and today I just wanted to check how her battle is going on -and it was hit on my face. I myself have ALL-child, and I see kids in terminal care... I knew the prognosis of infant AML, but when all the time I have read Allie's news I always thought she is different, she will survive (I think when there is a child you know and love -and I can say Allie is touched me deeply, even I have ever met her- you think she or he is different). You will be in my thougts and prayers. I have read a poem angelbrother (I think it could be angelsister as well) -sad it has written in Finnish and I'm not very good to translate it, but I will think Allie all the time I read that poem. Lots of strenght for you.

What a lovely celebration of Allie's life! I am a pediatric nurse and had the honor of working with a little boy named TevVante Braden who died of cancer last year. In honor of him and Allie, and those who died on Sept. 11, 2001, I will light a candle today and say a prayer. It's not much, but please know that you are in our thoughts.

I have been following Allie for sometime now. I wanted to let you know that I think about you all everyday. I pray that Allie gets better and you get to spend many more years with her. You and your husband have such a uplifting spirit about you. You are going through a really tough time, but for you daughter you have remained strong. I will continue to pray for you all in your time of fighting off this horrible disease. Please hug Allie for me today. I know I will hug my 3 kids a little tighter every night from now on. You and your story has truly inspired many people to enjoy the moment because you never know when that moment will end. Hugs to you and Allie

Hi Andrew, Jenny, and Allie,
I worked yesterday, so today we are celebrating. It's kind of cloudy but not in our hearts. DD loves to go go go and be outside. So we walked through the neighborhood and handed out LTN fliers. Oh she was so happy. We ran out and have to print more : ) I have a sugar cookie candle burning in honor of Allie - smells so good. Keep celebrating because Allie truly is a blessing to be celebrated.

we'll keep you in our thoughts, prayers and hearts...

Today is Allie's day. On September 11, 2001, I held my own 9-month old daughter in my arms and cherished her as I watched the terror of that day unfold before me on television. Each year we mourn the losses of that day and celebrate the courage of heroes. This year, and from now on, Allie will be my celebration.
She was born into a world of terror and brought with her enough love to inspire thousands to become better parents, friends, spouses, siblings and children. She was given to the only family strong enough to embrace her challenges and invite the world to share in her triumphs.
I�ve only known about Allie for two days. When people first read the journals and guestbook, the reaction is to ask what to do to help Allie. Gradually, we realize the lesson is not about saving this precious girl, but about saving ourselves and the world we live in. The lesson is to preserve this place and create a society where every child is cherished and loved as much as Allie.
Today is Allie�s day. Each year I will spend this day reflecting, not upon the horrible acts that happened to my country, but upon the wonderful family and precious girl that taught us all how to live. It�s not about religion, ethnicity, politics and money. It�s about humanity. By sharing your story, you have taught so many of us what it means again to be human. I celebrate you all and hope this guestbook and Jen�s journals will be published to share with those who do not have access to a computer.

Please know that my prayers are with you all...Allie has proven that it isn't the amount of time we are given in this life that matters most but how many hearts we touch while we are here and what we teach them. She is a blessing.

Strange how you can grow to care so much about a family that you have never met. How you can share in their joys, triumphs, sadness and heartache. Strange, but true. I had only learned of your daughter in the last few days, since then I have thought of her and your family constantly. I have prayed for her and for you, Andrew and the rest of your family.....for all the families you have shared with us as well. You are an amazing person...you, your husband, and Allie.

Allie is amazing, she is so beautiful. Her smile is intoxicating. What a blessing she is. What a blessing you and Andrew are to her. What a blessing to you she will always be.

You take the time each night to share your life with us. Through the triumphs and heartache, the laughter and the tears, you have shared with us your life, your gift, Allie.
You thank us for our prayers and encouraging words. This time I would like to thank you. Thank you for bringing Allie and your family into my life. I am blessed to have
known this little angel. No I have never met her but yet I have grown to know and love her through your words. For that I thank you.

I will celebrate her life today and each day through my daughter. I will always remember the story of her life. May the rest of your life be filled with even more blessings and joy.

I couldn't imagine having such courage as you do & it really humbles me to think of how i might be in your situation,as i don't think i could handle it as you are. I have never met you but i think you are a wonderful person & i know God will reward you for your strength & dedication,I'm sure he has a plan for you & your family. I wish you love, & love to your little one,she has been through way more than any child should ever have to go through in such a short time. Please accept my sincerest sympathy & love.

I could never imagine what you and your husband must feel everyday that you look at your precious angel. I know that it has made you two so strong and has taught us to appreciate every little thing that we have. It has taught me to appreciate every waking moment that I have with my two kids.
You are an inspiration to me. Your strengh and love that you have for your Allie is beyond words. Everytime I read your entries I always cry. My heart aches for you three. And I see her picture and she is just beautiful. Her cheeks and her smile are embedded into my heart and soul.

Dear Andrew, Jenny and precious Allie,

My heart breaks for you and your family...however, your strenth, courage and mostly the love has change me. I want to thank you for sharing such a painful ordeal with us all. I think that it has taught us to cherish and enjoy every thing that we have now.

Allie's life has touched and moved people around the world. The power that your little girl has to show us love and to not take things for granted, is truly amazing! I am glad that you celebrated her life....there is much to celebrate.

Ever since learing about Allie's battle, I have learned to take time and really be in the moment with my son, parents, and friends. Allie, a small beautiful little girl has started a wave of appreciation, an out pouring of love, and awareness of the importance of cancer research.

Thank you for sharing Allie and your family with us. Allie has changed me to the core, I am a better mother for knowing her.

I think about your family everyday...I pray for you all.

Dear Jenny & Andrew -- I wish you all joy and peace.

You're courageous and thoughtful to share your story with all of us who don't know you. The love surrounding Allie and surrounding you is pure and powerful .... and contagious! (judging from the impact it's had on me and so many other strangers)

I've been reading for months, always touched by your words. I'm finally prompted to write today because I was so pleased to hear of your celebration yesterday. I lost a close friend 3 years ago today during the attack and I also found comfort from celebrating his life. I make sure to love, dream, and giggle in his memory because those are 3 things he always did with great enthusiasm. And now when I blow raspberries at my children, it will be part of a celebration of Allie's life!

I thank you sincerely. And wish you peace!

I just wanted you to know how unbelievably strong I believe you are. It must be very hard what you are going through and no one can assume to know what you are going through unless they have been through the exact same thing.... I myself cry when Ethan (my 21 month old son) has to have shots. But for you to open your life up to us so that we may be touched by your sweet little Allie is truly a blessing not just to me but to anyone who visits your page. I believe God sends people like yourself to us to remind us not to take anything for granted, I just hate that you had to be brought to us this way. But hopefully you will find some comfort in the fact that every single day you and your family touch us all and make us better people. I honestly believe that God has a great purpose for each and every one of us and that maybe yours and Allies was to remind people that everyday with a loved one was a day you should cherish and not let it go by without telling them how much they mean to you because you never know what can happen. I know I'm just rambling now but I don't even know how to explain how you and Allie have touched my life, and I hope that in some way that comforts you just a little bit.

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie...
I came upon your website a couple of months ago through the BabyCenter boards. Immediately, I was drawn in to your story, your lives. I have told everyone I know about it and their reaction is the same: deep sympathy, but they don't dare view your site. I can't stay away. It is the first thing I pull up on my computer every morning. So many times I have contemplated leaving an entry...now I feel that I would be remiss if I didn't just say hello. My heart is breaking for you. Thank you for allowing us all into your lives. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Jenny,
Everynight when I come home from work I log onto your website. I truley believe that your beautiful daughter is an angel. I also imagine that it is quiet difficult being the parents of angel, but your daily journal entries are a true inspiration to so many people and families (including my own). I'm so happy that you all are celebrating your baby's life.
My cousing died from leukimia after a bone marrow transplant when he was eight and and a little girl who I was very close to died from brain cancer when she was 4 years old. As hard as it was for me to know that they were not here on earth with us anymore, I understand that they, too, are angels. I have watched as their familes have continues to campaign for cancer awareness and cancer research.
I do not know you and you do not know me, but I feel close to you. I believe that you a strong, loving, amazing mother and woman.
Jenny, Andrew, and Allie: you are in my thoughts everyday. Bless all three of you.

Allie, Jenny and Andrew,

I have been following for a long time, leaving messages both here and MSN. Allie has moved me in ways that I have never seen. I have grown to love Allie. As I look at my children, I think about Miss Allie. I believe she is a very special baby. She is the baby you look at and reflect on your life and your family. I believe God sent this precious gift to you, Jenny and Andrew, we may not be happy at the results in the end, but know that there is a reason she is here.
I have a large prayer ring going for you family and especially Allie. Kiss that sweet, beautiful baby for me and I will continue praying as hard as I can for her.

Jenny, Andrew, and Angel Allie,

My second born son was born in January and so I learned of Allie through the Babycenter January Boards. I have been reading your posts faithfully through the summer and I am moved each day. Today, when I read about how you and others are celebrating Allie's life, I finally just broke down and cried. I am always amazed at your strength... I don't understand where you get the strength... but I am in awe of it. I look at my children (especially my 8 month old) and I can't imagine what you are going through. But I just had to say that I think you both are the most amazing parents I have ever known of. You where made to be with each other and born to be Allie's parents. I was touched the most in reading about the tree you were given to plant for Allie. I think that is a wonderful idea and I will be looking this week for something that I too can plant in my yard to celebrate Allie's life. I continue to pray for a miricle for Allie, and strength for you, Jenny and Andrew.

Jenny, Andrew and yes, the beautiful, joyful and angel Allie,
Your family has done more for me than my words can ever say. You have changed the way I view my life and have made me make changes I never thought I would follow through with. Thanks to all of you, I am now signed up for The Light the Night Walk here in NY. I set my goal for $1000. I am going to work like crazy to get than and more. In honor of Allie and Sam!!! For the first time last night I spoke about Allie outloud to people other than my husband and children. It took all of my strength not to breakdown as the works came out of my mouth. My husband couldn't believe I was able to do it, frankly neither was I. That is just the beginning of my journey to raise money. I can't sit back and let this happen to any other children. It makes me angry there is nothing that can be done for Allie, but I have tried to change my attitude and make a difference. Thank you Scott family. My family will also be planting a tree for Allie in the next coming weeks. I want my chidren to know about Allie and why we walk year after year to help raise money to find a cure. I celebrated Allie yesterday by setting up my webpage for the walk and adding her picture to it. (I spoke with Frances before using it.) In the next coming days I will be writing down how all of you have changed my family's lives. I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH, for sharing this part of your life. Just know that Allie will live on all over the world thanks to you, her parents. Allie, you have changed so many people in this world in just a few months, you are a true miracle. I continue to pray for all of you.

Jenny,
Not a moment goes by that I am not thinking or praying for Allie. I look at my own daughter, and my heart breaks for her. I do not know how you feel, but I can imagine. Being a first time mom at 21 has forever changed my life. Before my daughter, I was self obsessed and self distructing. Now that Emily is here, I am obsessed with her and doing what is best for her. I do understand why you stopped the medicine. I would of done the same thing if I was in your position. We both want what is best for our daughters. But is life fair? No. Is God fair? In our eyes, no. But yet we have undying faith in him. That is why I will not quit praying for a miracle. Now whether that miracle is the one we are praying for, we are not certain. God has his own way of doing miracles, even if they are not performed in this life. At least you can go about each day knowing that if God calls his angel home your father will be waiting at Heaven's gates to hold her. Jesus will be waiting at Heaven's gates to give her her wings. And our lives will go on. But we will not breathe a breath without thinking of Allie. We will not give up on a cure, we will find it in Allie's name. And she will be with you Jenny, every step, every moment for the rest of your life. I will think of you Jenny in everything I do. You are an amazing woman and a wonderful mother, and I am thankful that I am able to follow this journey with you. May God be with Allie and may God be with you and your family.

I will continue praying for a miracle,
Kristin Cooper

Jenny,

I posted yesterday then went on to read some of the earlier material from the website.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn you are a French teacher! French was my major, class of '99. I hope to get a little more schooling and get into translating.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a link to a site about a baby born 3 months premature. My eldest was born three and a half months premature. It's amazing how babies fight so beautifully for their lives.
Third, it started feeling a little odd when you mentioned seeing "Return to Me". We, too, just saw it for the first time in late August. Astounding movie.
Lastly, my youngest was on my lap as I made pictures of Allie the wallpaper on our computer. When he saw the baby he (11 months old) got a huge smile, waved, and when I told him it was Allie, he clapped!
All little coincidences aside, you will never know how you and your daughter have changed my life. All prayers, works, joys, and sacrifices still going up for your family. I pray God gives you all the graces you need for all the graces you've given me.

It is a truely special person that can choose to celebrate life amongst the greatest sorrow a parent can ever experience. Allie has inspired so many in her short life; she truely is an angel here on earth.

Yesterday I took my two angels to the beach to celebrate Allie's life. My two year old built baby Allie a castle. She asked that I build a tower with bars on the windows. When I asked why she wanted bars on the windows she said she wanted to lock up the thing that was hurting baby Allie. (if it was only that simple) She agreed to enclose a empty clam shell filled with Allie's owies. We then had to wait 2 hours to make sure the waves came to take them away. (I love to view life through her eyes) As the waves washed our castle out to sea Katie smiled and told the old woman sitting near us that Baby Jesus sent a wave to take baby Allie's owie away. I told her that baby Jesus was soon going to take Allie to live with him; she said she knew. She says that Allie is going to live with Shadow (our deceased dog) in the stars with Simba's Daddy (of Lion king fame). I'm sure she right; Allie will certainly shine for a long time.

I pray for peace for your family daily. You are certainly an inspiration to many.

Jenny, Andrew, and Angel Allie,

I was introduced to your website and your Beautiful Angel Allie by one of the girls on an msn groups board that I am a member on. I too have passed it on to my Mother In Law (in which she has wrote and posted in your guestbook) and a few of my friends.

I have been truly touched by your website and your Angel Allie, I have been crying for you, your family, and Angel Allie, my heart aches as well, she is a true blessing and Im so glad you are blessed with such an angel.

Ever since I was introduced to your website I get on it multiple times a day awaiting an update and wondering how she is doing, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and your Angel.

I feel as though she has been a blessing in my life along with my family, I'm so glad I was introduced to your website along with Allie, she will always be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

Keep the Faith and God Bless You All.

I am signing in again tonight after reading about Allie - your beautiful celebration of her life inspires me. My son (who is only a couple of months older than Allie) had a great grandpa who passed away because of lukemia and there is so much that must be done to discover a cure for this horrible disease. Allie has been in trh forefront of my mind and my children and I are going to join the Light The Night walk in Madison at the end of this month. I am unable to donate blood, but I will be joining the Wisconsin chapter and doing whatever fundraising and volunteer work that I can. Allie is an inspriation to us all - and although she has been with you far to short a time I am so glad that you are getting to spend every minute with her surrounded by love and support. You are both wonderful strong amazing people - and I wish I could lessen the pain, take away the tears, make this reality different! I send you the love and prayers of myself and my children ... and when I hugged my baby tonight we whispered baby whispers to you and sent them to Allie from across the miles. You are in our minds and hearts - with all our love - to you and yours as you sleep snuggled up to Allie!

Tonight was a reality for me, reading your words as you typed, reading your plans, though not losing hope - just preparing yourself. Im sorry, Jenny and Andrew. I am so sorry. YOUR aching crys can be heard and felt, your shutters as you dig your face into each others shoulders with sobs of heart ache and hugs so tight our world feels them. Im not sure how you breath, I dont even know if you do.

Im just sorry, for Allie's pain, for yours, and y our family and for anyone else who knows your sweet angel. I just hope she finds comfort soon, not in medications, either get well, or just leave with a loved heart. Little Allie knows nothing but love and family and that is infact the best medication for her.

Not much else I can say

I just hope you all have a good night, rest easy, memorize ever single feature, every finger nail, eye lash, freckle, lip crease, leg roll...

Everything.

Love you Allie

I am reaching out to you! You a strong and beautiful family, I have prayed over and over for you and am riveted by your strength and courage. Allie, you are an angel and will remain that way untainted by the world as it is these days. I'm happy that you have such loving parents and family. My heart goes out to you. I prayed tonight to my grandfather passed away and my uncle passed away and asked them to be there for you allie, be sure that they are standing watch over you now. They will be there to welcome you with open arms when you reach the heavens. I know our families do not know eachother but I feel such love for you and yours. Just know that you are in my heart and in my mind.

You have touched so many people, and made us love and appreciate our families so much. Your love for Allie has spread across the world and we are all thinking of you at this difficult time. Continue to celebrate Allie's life, in the short time she has been on this earth she has touched so many people far beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
Thinking of you and cuddling my little boy all the more.

I'm a fellow Babycenter member and have been holding my breath and wishing the best good luck thoughts since I first heard about Allie a couple of months ago. I know you probably don't read these (especially with so many 'god has a plan' posts) ...but you probably will later on. So I thought I'd add my thoughts with the others here to be collected for later...just to show how much your family has touched the world. Thousands everywhere have been checking the site everyday, crying and laughing with you. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that one day soon science will have the cure to everything that may take our children from us.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
You have one amazing little angel. It has been said and continues to be said by many, that God has a plan for all of us. Your little angel was sent to touch all of our hearts and remind us of the all that is good in our world today. I pray that when allie leaves she is peaceful and that you may find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering and that she left you with unconditional love. I continue to pray and maybe God will change his mind about your little angel.

I visited your site for the first time earlier tonight. Here it is 2am and I've been lying in bed watching my own baby sleep thinking of you all. I had to get back up to see if there was a new update. I can't even begin to fathom what you are going through. You are very special parents to love Allie so much you are willing to let her go. I'm sure you hear how courageous you are many times but know that it's meant sincerely, you are indeed an inspiration to not only parents but to anyone who loves. I sometimes get frustrated with my own baby as many first time moms do, I dress him and before I can finish he's spit up so that I have to start all over again, a 5 minute job turns into a 10 minute ordeal. I'm resolving tonight to think of you and Allie when I am frustrated and instead of being cross to give him a big hug, hold him tight and thank God for him.

I'm praying God sends a miracle for Allie and your family. Though I'm also many states away I will be thinking of you and saying prayer for you all while I light a candle for your precious angel Sat. night.

May God grant you strength and sweet peace through this difficult journey.

Your website is amazing. You are truly astonishing parents and Allie is a lucky little girl to have such giving people to call her mom and dad. Your thoughts often bring me to tears as I cannot imagine your pain or hers. As a mother of a 13 month old I cannot fathom it. I pray for peace for Allie and for all of you. Know that she has impacted this world more than most of us ever will in her short time here. What an amazing accomplishment. Thank you.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Angel Allie,
God has a reason...as hard as it is to think that...he does...he always does.........for this beautiful, gorgeous, special baby girl to touch this many people all throughout the world is simply AMAZING! Imagine 10.000 to 20.000 people and their family and friends caring more and loving more..taking more time with their loved ones......what a legacy......in our hurried world this is possibly the biggest gift of our time that this beautiful child has given to so many through your beautifully written words and through those touching pictures......we all need to slow down and see........and Allie has done that for so many people........see what life is all about.......don't waste a single moment.......
I talked to one of my best friends about you today and mentioned what an incredible impact this beautiful angel baby and your family has had on my life and how odd that feels as you are strangers....and my friend simply responded with: They are not strangers at all......
You all have gained the biggest family....we all support you ....we all pray for you....we all ask people to pray for you..for angel Allie, .....we all feel for you...not like you do of course, but for you........with every inch of our bodies..... we wish peace....peace for this beautiful girl...peace for Jenny and Andrew and their families,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Know that you are loved and thought of more than you could ever possibly imagine by soooo many people....
God be with you and God bless you all,

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,

I haven't been able to stop crying since I read your site for the first time a few hours ago. I have my own little Ali, born just a week after yours was diagnosed. I also have a four-year-old, who I yelled at too many times today for smudging the bathroom mirror and laughing too loud. I know your story has touched me in a way that makes me not want to be that kind of mother anymore. I'm sure you would do anything to be able to see those smudges on the mirror or hear your daughter's laughter.

I pray that God comforts you all when Allie leaves your side. She'll be in a better place and free from pain.

God bless you all.

I won't say "I know what you are going through." I counldn't even begin to imagine, but a small way I feel your pain. My heart breaks when I read the about the pain you and beautiful Allie are going through. My family and I pray for you every night. I know God is still on the thrown and his plan is best, but I ask and beg that he still will heal Allie. We love you and remember we are praying for your lovely princess ALLIE.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
I cannot be in Dallas Saturday night, so I will light my candle for Allie in a city a few states away. I know others who cannot be there will do the same. As you look out the window that night and see the candles glowing below, envision at that moment thousands of people all over the world holding their lighted candles to celebrate Allie's life and to bear witness to the courage and love of your very special family.

Holding you all in my heart,
with love,

Please express my condolenses to May and Ted's children and the rest of his family. I know, as do you, the heartache of losing your father.

But, on the light-hearted side ... I posted earlier today that I had printed one of your family photos and posted it by my desk at work ... I look at it often and pray for all of you. But try as I might to focus on Allie in that photo (the last one of the KT photos), my eyes are constantly drawn ... like by a magnetic force ... to Andrew's eyes. They are not in the center of the photo ... Allie is ... but for some reason, Andrew's eyes always draw my attention, even when I'm really trying to focus elsewhere. There is such a "light" shining from his eyes ... I sense it from yours as well, Jenny, but glasses, like I've worn since I was 3, do tend to hide your eyes. So, I guess you all can have a good chuckle ... a middle aged married mother in So. Calif. thinks your husband has bright magnetic eyes. I'm sure that's just one of the fine qualities that drew you to him in the first place.

May God continue to bless you and I know you will enjoy Allie while she is with you and beyond. Do not let her light go out in your hearts ... cherish her always ... I know you will. As will so many others.

Huge Cyber Hugs,

Terri

Every night my daughter (she is 2) and I say a prayer for Allie. I also have a son that is just days apart from your little blessing. I felt compelled to leave you a note, to let you know we are here and we are praying. I will be lighting a candle for Allie tommorow night. I wish you all the best in your life. God bless you and your beautiful little girl Allie.

Wow, I just learned of Allie a couple of days ago, and she has made such an impact in my life, I can't even begin to tell you. I have a 16 month old girl named Caitlyn, and learning of Allie has taught me to kiss her and hug her and play with her more, and to cherish every moment with her. I am participating in Light the Night on October 2 here in San Diego. I am walking with a group that is walking for Allie, called Allie's Angels. There is also another group walking for her. So please know every moment of every day there is someone out there thinking of her and praying for her. She is so lucky to have a mommy and daddy like you guys, and such a loving family. Thank you for sharing her life with us, no matter what happens, I will never forget your angel.

When my baby is born I plan on donating my babies umbilical cord to the hospital in Allie's name so babies that need the blood from the umbilical cords can use my babies blood. You, your husband, and your beautiful angel Allie are in my prayers and I wish the best to you all. Take care and continue to be strong. God is on your side.

I am so glad you had a party!!!
Sometimes it is the revelling in the smallest joys that can make things a little better, even if it is just for awhile.
I am far away in Canada, where we have already had snow this week, we are by fluke having a festival of lights here in our town tomorrow night, where there will be fireworks and we will have glow sticks and be floating out lumenaries on the lake, please know that me and my 3 little ones (ages 4, 2 1/2, and 17 months) will be at this festival and lighting a lumenarie to send out in Allies name with a little prayer, in hopes that God can work a miracle in her favor.
Thank you for sharing your story, I look at my children in a different light now, life just seems so much more fragile when you see another perspective so intimately.
Good Luck my friends, know that the lord, and the world all love you.

Andrew, Jenny, & Angel on Earth Allie ~ My husband and I skipped work today and took our son to the zoo. We did this to celebrate gorgeous Allie. I also just ordered some information about registering with the national marrow donor program. It seems like the very least I can do. I too am a BBC mom and that is how I came to follow Allie's story. I know you are probably looking for words of comfort from friends and family but I had to say hello and thank you.
I don't know how you have big enough hearts to be willing to share your daughters life with so many but I am grateful for you. I would be selfish and bitter and angry and here you are being gracious and loving - no wonder your daughter is an angel. Jenny you are the mother that I aspire to be.
I have been praying continuously for all of you and I will continue to pray for God's peace for you.
Thank you for reminding me of how precious every moment is.

I have been checking your updates about once or twice a week for awhile now. I just wanted to quietly check it-you don't know me.. I kept hoping to read the first sentence and say "Awesome" a miracle. I've noticed for awhile that things didn't look too good, but still I was praying for Allie. This couldn't possibly happen to this innocent baby. I was at least content knowing that she was still on this earth and then I would go to bed. Obviously, being on this earth and being uncomfotable and in pain on this earth are two different stories. Your openess and willingness to share your lives with strangers has made an impression on me. Please know I have thought about you every day. I am so sorry for your pain(and that sweet baby's) I know that your fun memories of times with Allie will always bring a smile to your face. I can't possibly say enough. I couldn't go to bed unless you knew that yet another person had your family on their mind. XO

I lift you up to the God who made you, who knew you before you were born, who loved you from the moment He first dreamed you. It was you He chose to be with Allie, to love her, to hold her, to give her joy even when joy was a but a fleeting moment.

This is the God who made Allie, who cherished her so much He gave her you - that even in the dark of the night, she would know love like none other. It was you He created for her, and you He will lead. You are not alone.

One day you will awaken, and a little girl will greet you upon the shore; it is only then that you will fully realize what you meant to Allie, and what her life accomplished. For it will be Allie herself who shall take your hand, and tell you of her wonderful, wonderful life -

Made wonderful by you.

I have been on your site all night. Just waiting. For what? Maybe, I was hoping that there was some BIG miracle today, and that Allie was doing better. So is not the case. You have a precious gift and you have to treasure what you have with her. I have cried over and over tonight for the pain your family is enduring, only wishing that I could know that I could be that strong. Celebrate her...her life...and all the love you have. It truly is a wonderful gift. I will pray for you tonight again. Allie is such a precious child...and it makes me want to hold my own even tighter.

God Bless You~

You are the most amazing, courageous people I have ever (not) known. I was so touched and impressed by the party you threw tonight. I was also overwhelmed with relief when I read what you wrote about Allie's sister or brother playing under her tree. I am so glad that you will not let this heartache (and I do realized that is a disgusting understatement) stop you from having more children. You are two wonderful parents, and any child would be lucky to call you theirs. It would be a travesty if no other child could.

Allie remains in my prayers, as do you.

I know I was a good Mom before, but I now try to be even better. I think of Allie constantly, and am still praying for that miracle! I am also praying for the strength that you all need right now! Your family has made in a huge dent in our world! Thank-you! We love you!

Dear Jenny and Andrew,

I read your posts daily, though I've never signed your guestbook. I learned of Allie through Sam's website, Dr. Eisenberg is my Dr. As many people before me have said, you have touched my life in many ways; you have made me want to be a better mother, you have taught me to cherish every moment and not take anything for granted.....life is precious. This is not easy for me to say to you right now, but it was very uplifting in your post to have you say that one day Allie's brother or sister will play under the tree you plan to plant in your backyard. You are two of the most loving parents I have ever "met". Allie will have the gift of your love with her forever. I truly hope one day you will find the strength and courage to have more children, the world needs more parents like you. You are amazing.
May God comfort you now and bring you peace with each new day.

With love and admiration,

Thank you, Jenny, for reminding us to celebrate the little things in life instead of taking them for granted.

Have another glass of champagne! Here's to Allie! May her sweet little spirit live on FOREVER!!! I know it will in our family!

My husband, my two boys and I were at a wonderful zoo in central Kansas today. When we got to three beautiful giraffes, who else was I thinking about?! The day was made more special (my older son's 5th birthday) because I know that some parents don't have the opportunity to go to the zoo with their kids, or even to go outside and enjoy a warm end-of-summer day. Good for you for celebrating Allie and all her wonder! Bless that amazing family of yours for all they have been and done. Bless those wonderful people who have become family on that amazing floor. When Allie's brothers and sisters are born, they will have the smartest, cutest guardian angel to protect them.

Wishing you strength and peace.

And thank you to whomever set up tomorrow night's candlelight vigil. We are all so desperate to show you some tangible sign of our support and love. Even those of us who cannot make it, will light our candles at home and think of Sweet Allie.

Jenny, Andrew and Allie,

The description of your family is heart-warming. It reminds me of my family. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that you are so very blessed.

I have to be honest. This was my favorite part of your entire post: "One day, Allie's brother or sister will play under that tree and we will tell them about their angel sister." It reminded me that life is a cycle, not a dead-end. To me, it was the most uplifting, life-affirming post.

Little Allie, I continue to pray for you. I pray for your comfort. I pray for you not to hurt anymore. I love you little girl.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
I cannot even begin to tell you what an inspiration you are. I cried for what seemed like forever reading your website. My baby is just a little older and I know the bond that grows each day - with each look you take at your child. I cry sometimes looking at him because it seems like he is a little miracle that God gave us. I looked over and over at the pictures of Little Allie. What an angel. A TRUE angel. I will pray and pass on the website to others I know so that there will be even more prayers! There could never be enough! We will find out where and go give blood tomorrow - I wish there was more that we could do. We will pray and keep you in our thoughts.

I have no idea why God has chosen Allie or any of the children there to be in this situation but what I do know is that he never wastes hurt and I pray that your daughter will help to soften the hearts of many who don't know him. I pray also for a miricale for her. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through and I wish there were something i could do or say to help. I will be praying for peace and comfort for you all. God IS looking over yall. God Bless.

Dear Mrs. Scott:

First of all, me must say that you are truly an amazing woman. You have been blessed with a real life angel, and you are very lucky. We have been hanging on to your every word for the past five months. We cannot sleep at night without reading your post. You have more courage, bravery, and strength than both of us combined when you expose your innermost thoughts on this website for thousands of people to read each day.

Secondly, Allie has taught us all so much. She has taught us about God's plans, when we were once both SO confused. God has a plan for Allie in Heaven, and your baby girl will no longer be suffering. She will always be you and Andrew's guardian angel, no matter where she is.

Words cannot express our feelings. There are so many - anger, sadness, grief, hope, and many many more. Everybody at Rice has been touched by your story. We miss you so much! We never forget to include you and your family in our prayers. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether God is listening or not, but please remember that He is ALWAYS by your side.

Love always,
Kelly and Alicia

Andrew, Jenny & sweet baby Allie,
I'm thinking of you tonight and wanted to let you know. Tonight while we were out we ran across a collection for sick babies and while normally I would drop a few coins in ~ tonight we placed a larger sum in for Allie. I cry each time I think of her sweet face and the pain you are going through. You are so brave and inspirational in the way you write your emotions down, the peace you are beginning to feel is coming through and in a way, comforting all of us. Allie is one of the first things I think of when I wake up and the last prayer I send out at night is for her and your family. I pray if her life is going to be short, that you will cherish the last days with her in peace and love. She has known nothing but pure and perfect love from you and your family, she is very lucky to have you and you for having her. I can't put into words how deeply you have affected me and how your story and your precious baby Allie will stay with me forever. Sweet dreams baby Allie. We love you!

I posted the other night, the first time that I heard about Allie and read through all of her updates. Since than I have been praying and thinking about Allie. I think the most amazing thing, from my perspective after reading your words and seeing her pictures, is that she is so happy. In most of her pictures you would never guess that this little baby has a terrible illness that is wreaking havoc on her small body. I think that it is so incredible that even through all of what she has been going through that she still can smile and glow the way that she does. Which got me to thinking as to why that is. My best guess is that she can feel the love that so many people have for her, that she has unbelievable parents that love her more than words could ever describe and they show that love to her each and every day. Her smile is intoxicating, with tears running down my face, its impossible to look at her cute, chubby, smiling face and not smile back at her. I am praying for Allie and her wonderful parents. Thank you so much for sharing Allie with me, with all of us, I will never forget that smile on her beautiful face!

As a mother of two young children I cannot imagine your pain. Your little Angel's story has changed me too...for the better. I promise to love my children even more each day, if it is possible and NEVER wish away the days, even when they are screaming and fussing all day long. There is a very special place for Allie in heaven, and for you as well, having to suffer through this terrible terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jenny, Andrew and baby Allie: Your amazing story of life and unconditional love have compelled me to write, like so many others. I can't even begin to imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you have been experiencing these last several months. Thank you, thank you for literally opening your heart and soul to family, friends and strangers alike. You have touched incredible numbers of people through your story with strength, courage, honesty, devotion and love. Such a timely reminder - Our family is most important of all, it is all we truly have, a gift to be cherished and nurtured daily.

To paraphrase a hymn we sing in the Methodist church, I pray that you feel God's presence there in your hospital room, that you can feel His mighty power and His grace. May you feel the brush of angel's wings and see glory on each face, especially Allie's - surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Peace be with you,

Kris

Every night I wait to hear news of your glorious little girl. So many thousands of people have waited, hoped, and prayed that she would go into remission, and we still do. Isn't it strange how a little tiny baby can become so important, and so loved, by so many people who have never even met her? We're all blessed for knowing her, and will never forget her. Thank you so much for letting us get to know your teeny-tiny princess!!!

I have been with you all daily for the last month and a half. I hope it to be a small comfort to you to know that I am crying with you. I have prayed scratch that I have BEGGED God, I have thought about your little angel and loved her and some nights ran for my computer to see how she is doing.
As for what is happening now I am at a loss, it isn't fair and I hate that this is happening. I still pray for a miracle. Jenny and Andrew I can only pray that in my childrens lives I am able to be half of the parents you have been to Allie.
She has touched in her short life more people then I have in all my years and Jenny I hope you see that you gave her her voice.
Much~Much love to you all. Please kiss that angel for me.

I cannot tell you what an inspiration your family is. Some children never experience such a love from their parents. Alley has truly been blessed in her time here on Earth, as we all have been blessed by your words. Not a day goes by that I don't stop and pray that God's mercy and love be poured upon you. Some things we will never understand, but it is clear why God made two such loving, courageous individuals the parents of your precious baby girl.

I'm amazed at your family and impressed that you are willing to share this story with the world. (((HUGS))), from the depth of my heart. Thank you for reminding me of the everyday blessings. I'm going to hold my babies now. Peace, and tons of love, Katie

Andrew & Jenny,

Your strength and courage inspire me and fill me with hope. You are both truly blessed. Allie is such a strong and beautiful little girl. I have been following you in this journey for only a few weeks, but I truly feel as if I know you personally. You've shared so many intimate and painful moments of your lives with us, and for that I thank you. I've contemplated writing in the guestbook for a while now, thinking what could I possibly say to help them. But then I realize, you don't need help right now, you are both strong and have each other as well as your wonderful memories of the life shared with Allie. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you know how many people you have touched with your story and how many lives are being affected because of Allie. Many Blessings....

Dear Allie,

While you've only been with us for a very short time, you've truly inspired so many. Your enduring strength, beautiful smile and hilarious raspberries will live with me forever. For you are truly an angel and have been blessed with the best mommy and daddy a little girl could have. You will always be in my heart. I pray for you each and every day and hope you will look for me when I join you.

Love & Hugs....

Only you Jenny.....

Only you could make us all feel better. Only you could let us share the peace that you are beginning to feel. Only you could be so kind as to write a long post when you know that we are longing for every tiny bit of information on our girl. Only you could invite us to celebrate your child's life with you.

Thank you, in this tremendous time of trial, to you and Andrew, for being so wonderful to include all of us who have grown to love your precious angel.

We are so happy to celebrate her life with you!

I linger over and over again on the pictures of her smiling face and wish her a joyous and peaceful passing to God's arms.

GOD'S LOAN

"I'll lend to you for a little time,
A child of mine," He said,
"For you to love while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead.

"It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?

"She'll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories
As solace for your grief.

"I cannot promise she will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

"I've looked this wide world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds that throng life's land,
I have selected you.

"Now will you give her all your love
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take her back again?"

I rejoiced when I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

"And should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Dear Andrew and Jenny,
I received a flyer about Allie from a neighbor today. I read alittle about Allie and wanted to visit the site posted on the flyer. I have been on the site now for a couple of hours. I am so very touched by your story. As many others have said...I don't feel I will ever be the same. Allie is such a beautiful baby. I have two little children of my own. I cannot begin to imagine going through these circumstances. I lost a brother several years ago, but even then, a mother and father's love is so different. I will be praying for a miracle...as I have over the last few hours. I feel I know your family. I am praying for Sam too...and Ted's family (I read he lost his fight and has gone home to be with the Lord). I will probably not meet you on Earth...but someday. Until then, please know you will ALWAYS be in my heart and on my mind. God be with you and bless you always.
By His stripes...WE ARE HEALED!!

Allie is part of God's wonderous plan and she has made my life a wonderous adventure to begin, i thank you and your family for opening up on this webpage and giving me a reason to want to do well in life, to want to please Allie, the angel in disguise.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Sweet Baby Allie,
Your strength never ceases to amaze me. I have been following your journey for several months now and with each passing day, I continue to be in awe by your wisdom, courage, love, selflessness, grace, and dignity. I have never encountered such an amazing family with so much love for eachother. Each day, I check your website and I pray for a miracle. Allie crosses my mind many times throughout the day and each time I think of her, I ask God to cure her. She is truly an angel that was sent here to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people. She has helped us to love more, appreciate more, be thankful for more, pray more, and she has restored our faith in human kindness and the goodness of all people. Your journey has touched my heart in a special way. You are incredible people and we are forever indebted to you for sharing your lives with us. I will help you celebrate Allie's life and all the good that she has brought to this world. We have all been blessed because we have been touched by Allie. I will continue to pray for a miracle for your sweet Angel Allie.
My heart, tears, and love go out to you as you continue on this journey.
May you all find strength, courage, and peace during these uncertain times.
Many Hugs,

Dear Jenny, Andrew & PRECIOUS BABY ALLIE,
My words cannot express how much your story has touched my life. I am a mother too. And I can't imagine being as strong as you are if I were put in that situation. Your faith is unmeasurable. God does have a plan, but it jsut doesn't seem fair. Your husband said "Maybe she is just too perfect for this world.", and I have to agree. Just know that your precious baby girl has touched more people than some ever do. I will continue to pray for a miracle for Allie, and I will continue to pray for your family. May God continue to be with you, as he already has. You have made me realize what really matters, and NEVER take anything in this life for granted...we aren't promised tomorrow...only God knows what is planned. God Bless you all, and I will continue to send my love, prayers, hugs & kisses to Allie.

Dear Andrew ,Jenny,and Precious Allie,
Our hearts have been with all of you since the day our dearest friends, the Murphy's told us about your precious angel.By the way,there could be no better place for your dog to be than at "Camp Murphy". I love going to Camp Murphy! You better check to see if they are giving your dog M&M ice cream sandwiches because they always give them to their campers As we headed up to North Carolina today from Ft.Lauderdale to get away from the craziness of Hurricane Ivan, I prayed like crazy for your peace and continued strength. I also realized that leaving our house and stuff behind is nothing compared to being together and being safe. I pray that every moment you continue to have with your angel will be filled with more precious moments and memories like the caresses you shared today.
Our continued thoughts and prayers will be with you! In His Neverending love and Grip,

I am praying for you angel, you and your mommy and daddy. Your time here with us was far too short, but filled with more love and inspiration than most people know in their lifetimes. You are an angel sent from God to remind us all of what is truly important in life. Thousands have gotten your message thanks to lots of help from your mommy and daddy. Your web site has affected more people than you could ever imagine. I am one of them. And, in turn, so is my daughter, Wrigley. She is just forty days older than you, and you remind me of her in so many ways.
I found your website just yesterday and was unable to tear myself away from it until I had read every single entry that your mommy, daddy, and others had written. I am in awe of your beauty and your strength. Without even trying you have changed the lives of so many people. You are a teacher, a healer, and such an inspiration. I came home last night and held onto my Wrigley (or Wiggles, as we call her) tighter than I ever have. I let the dishes sit in the sink and just warmed some macaroni and cheese for dinner so that I didn't have to let go of her for too long. I looked at her lovely face smiling back at me, and I realized more than ever before what a blessed gift we've been given. We played, and read, and blew raspberries at one another. I thought of you the entire time.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me of what really matters. I will never take another second of my time with Wrigley for granted again. I will remember you when she is crying inconsolably, trying my patience, or throwing a tantrum in the middle of the supermarket. I will remember you, and remember that none of that really matters...so long as I have her to hold. You have given me the best gift anyone can ever give another person....a greater appreciation for life.

I am praying for a miracle for you, because they do happen, you know. Your mommy and daddy, family and friends, and the whole world got one in you. Thank you for letting us all know and love you, and thank you even more for teaching us so much. You are an angel indeed.

Love,
Jana and Wrigley

Sherrie Austin Lyrics - Streets Of Heaven

Hello God, it's me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night.
I'm fighting back the tears as she fights for her life.
Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made,
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony when she'd big enough.
She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.

Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Lord, don't you know she's my angel
You got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home
Well I don't know if you're listenin'
But praying is all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too

And it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
Lord, I know once you've made up your mind,
There's no use in beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.

The streets of Heaven.

Me

Allie is such a beautiful little girl and I am so sorry to see this is happening to her. No parent deserves to go through this. Please know that I have been thinking of her everyday. I am so saddened by this and wish I could do something to help. I am sending all the hugs and kisses I can for the family. You are all in my thoughts. Allie has truly earned a place in my heart and mind!

Angels In Waiting
By: Tammy Cochran

We camped out on the living room floor
In our old sleeping bags, by a make believe fire.
In a tent made of covers, we talked for hours
My two brothers and me.
Keeping the faith: Raising with destiny.

They were Angels in waitin'.
Waitin' for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain.
Treasuring time, 'til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waitin'; angels waitin' for wings.

They always knew they would never grow old.
Sometimes the body is weaker than the soul.
In their darkest hour, I made a promise,
I will always keep;
I'll give them life; I'll let them live through me.

They were Angels in waitin'
Waitin' for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain.
Treasuring time, 'til time came to leave,
Leavin' behind sweet memories.
Angels in waitin; Angels in waitin' for wings.
Angels in waitin; Angels waiting' for me

They were Angels in waitin'
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, 'til time came to leave
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angel's in waiting; Angel's in waiting for wings.
Angel's in waiting; Angels in waiting for me.

This song reminded me of Allie. She is such an Angel. She has taught me so much about life, about being a mother, & just about myself. How to live life to the fullest. She has touched me in a way no one has before. I love her so much, just like one of my kids. Thank you for letting me into your life.

For weeks I have been one of the 10,000 hits you get a day on your site. Part of my morning routine now includes checking in on Ms. Allie. Nothing I say will ever make it feel better for you, but I hope just knowing how much your family has touched my life, may help just a little bit. I have a friend who lost her son three weeks ago to JMML, and I see the pain they are going through and realize you too are doing the same. Your daughter has touched my life. She has made me appreciate my children and the moments we have. You are an amazing women. You have a beautiful way with words, you are a good friend to others that need you, and your husband too seems like a wonderful man! You recently wrote that people were saying "God has a plan", and you stated that "you knew God didn't intend on Allie being sick". Jenny I couldn't agree with you more. Though I am a believer, I never feel that God has a plan for a child to die and be ripped from loving arms. But love how your husbad said "maybe she is just too perfect for this world". Now that I believe. I have no answers as to why God did this. Mainly because number one I am not God and number two I am not a bible schlor. But I am a mother and I know that you have no love like you do for your children. Jenny, my constant thoughts are with you and your husband as well as the rest of your family. I pray that Allie goes peacefully and will watch down on you.

Love,
A Mother

For Allie

I�ve never met you
I can�t pick you out in a crowd
You couldn�t pick me out in a crowd either
But you have touched me
More than you will ever know

I�ve read your mommy�s posts everyday
Kept you in my prayers
I kept praying you would beat this
They fell on deaf ears

I wished for you
Everything I wished for my own daughter
The chance to go to school, have friends
Go for sleepovers, go out on dates, drive your parents nuts
Get married, start a family
To live a long and healthy life
I wished for your miracle

I don�t know why
You were burdened with this
I don�t know why
Children get cancer
It�s not fair
You deserve the world

You�ve fought so hard
And been so brave
You�ve touched more people
In five months
Then most people do in a lifetime

I wish there was something
I could do to take your pain away
I wish I could do something
To make this easier on your mommy and daddy
To make it easier on you

All I can offer is my prayers
And the words that you have
Touched so many people
And made us realize what love and family is all about

We're still praying for your miracle baby girl!

Jenny & Andrew...

I hope at some point, the words of so many well wishers will bring you comfort in your darkest times. Your family has touched others in ways that are almost immeasurable. Your tireless dedication to sharing your story has given me hope, even though my troubles and worries wane in comparison.

Like many of the others, I do not know you or your family. However, I do feel some sort of connection with you. Please accept my thoughts and prayers for your precious Allie.

Thank you for shaing your innermost thoughts and emotions, and the beautiful life of your daughter, Allie. I have looked at my life as a mother in an entirely different way, thanks to you. Having been a RN before I had my daughters, I was certain I appreciated life and all its precious moments. Through your story, I have come to realize what is truly important in my life. You have provided thousands an insight to what I am sure you never want another mother to live, and as a mother I thank you for that. My thoughts are with you, and all of your family.

May the angels embrace her with dignity and comfort,

Jenny and Andrew-
Thank you for opening your lives to me through this site. Thank you so much for letting me feel like I know all of you, when we have never met. And, most of all, thank you for giving me a new perspective on the things that really matter in life-family, love, faith.

Sweet baby Allie-
In the time you have been on earth, you have done things that most people don't accomplish in a lifetime. And even though I beg that you can stay longer...if it has to be short, know that you have made such a difference in so many lives and you will be leaving the world a better place than when you came. I have always carried this quote with me, but I don't think I'll ever read it again without thinking of your sweet face.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away."

With adoring love,
Christa

Dear Allie and Family- You al have such strength! I know you all will find peace with whatever God has in mind. Since having been introduced to Allie's website through Fertility Friends I have checked daily on her progress and read the updates. Jenny you are so eloquent and well spoken in spite of the ordeal you are going through. I know God will one day bless you and your family for touching so many lives in such a profound way. Please know that we are all still praying for Allie...for her to have peace and comfort and for you and Andrew to be strong for each other in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Please know that I will never forget Allie and she has touched my heart in a way that I cannot explain.

Many blessings and Much love

Dear Scott Family

Your little Allie has become an entity on several of my discussion boards. When we mention her name, everone knows of whom we speak of. My daughter, Kathryn is slightly younger than your daughter (born 2/12/04) I cannot imagine what your family is going through, but I've read your journal every night for the past several weeks. My huband and I were lucky as Kathryn did not inherit the gene that causes my health problems, which are sometimes fatal. I speak to moms and dads every day who have lost their children to my illness.

It's been a year since I lost my best friend to cancer. To myself, my husband and now my daughter, he is and forever will be my daughter's guardian angel.

Many thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Jenny, Andrew and Angel Allie. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are all so brave. I pray for your hearts to be at peace. As a grandmother, I hurt for you. My little Julianna has this awful disease. I so much relate with your feelings. Jenny, you are so brave and strong. I can tell God is very close with you. He's there to guide you through this. Words are hard to come by. I know there is nothing anyone can say to make you feel better. I wish there were. Just know that God is there for that job. God bless you and your precious family. What an inspiration you are. Your friend, Julianna Cook's Mom Mom

I think about you from the time I wake up until I go to bed. My husband and I have both cried after reading your posts and we only hope we can be half the parents that you have been to Allie. Thank you for sharing your story and helping so many people finally feel true love, even if it is a baby most of us have never met. You all are truly an inspiration and I will continue to hold your family close to my heart.

Jenny-To follow this story has truly been an inspritation. I am in nursing school and just now going through the pediatrics portion of my education. They way you talk about the nurses on the unit where little Allie is, has helped me see that is okay to get attached to your young patients, and at times cry for their pain and suffering, but still go back day after day to tend to their needs. Allie is so precious. I am truly sorry for the hurt you have inside and the hurt Allie has endured. I pray that you both (and andrew) continue to be strong. Much Love & God Bless.

I feel like I have gone through every emotion with you...My heart has hurt and I have shed tears during the hard times...I have rejoiced with you when things seemed to be looking up. I have yearned for that miracle. I feel like Allie could be one of my own children. Her name comes up almost as much around our house. My children look at her picture and pray for her. She is a perfect little person. I am sure that God sees her suffering down here and knows that if she were to come out of all of this chemo etc. her little body would just not be able to give her the kind of life that he knows she deserves...So, instead, He'll bring her home to make her the angel that she has become to each and every one of us here on Earth. I love your little girl. I truly do. Her and my daughter are one month apart and doing much of the same things at the same times...I hold her tighter every day that I read about Allie. God has given you one of the greatest gifts He can give...Treasure her always, as I know you will. She is truly Heaven sent.

What you're going through right now is the hardest thing you'll EVER go through. You are extremely fortunate to have such a HUGE support network and I know that you will be able to make it through whatever may come your way. You're not alone. Allie is a Beautiful Gift from God and you can be assured you will be with her again some day. Your prayer requests are my prayers. God give all of you the strength you'll need in these days. Thank you for sharing your lives and Allie's with us all.

As I sit here almost gasping for air with the feeling of my heart physically tearing, I know a tiny bit of your pain. God has given me the gift of empathy... I can honestly feel what others are feeling. Your ambivalence of feelings are almost overwhelming. Being torn betweeen wanting your baby for every possible second that you can have her and again wanting her pain to end so that she can be at peace is turmultuous to say the least. Know that when this has all ended your precious baby will sit in the lap of Jesus and you (God's other precious child) will remember only the good times. The bad will dissipate into nothingness... Hold on tight to the love the two of you share and hold onto to the love of your Husband. Losing a child can be fatal to a marriage if you don't hold on tightly. Most importantly, hold onto the Love of your Heavenly Father and the promises He has given you. Know that when you get to Heaven, your Beautiful Little Girl will be standing there eagerly awaiting her Precious Mother... May your pain be still and your heart find rest...

Hello..my name is Leah O'Guin, I have recently moved to the Plano area from Arkansas, and have been hearing about little Allie from my French teacher at school. The story has touched my heart and I want the family to know that Allie is in my prayers and my entire families prayers. My father works at a church in Arkansas and he is in the process of putting Allie on our churches prayer list. I have a lot of respect for the parents of Allie..it must take a lot to be as courageous and accepting as you all are being. Stay strong, pray hard, and know that everything has a purpose in life.
In Him,

Thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. Allies life has planted a seed and one day there will be a harvest. You have reminded us as parents to love our children more, not to take life for granted and how petty the issues that most of us face on a daily basis. Your strength inspires me to be a better person, a better Mom, a better Wife, friend, etc.

I am still holding out for a miracle as well! I know that God hears our prayers.

Lord strengthen Allie as she battles this cancer. Strengthen her family as they are there to love and support her thru the passing of Your will for her life. Send Peace......like peace they have never felt before.

Because of your story I promise to donate blood and platelets on a regular basis to help other needy patients in their battles with cancer....in "Honor" or Allie.

I've been following your story for several weeks now and am totally in love with your precious angel Allie. I have a son who is 12 months and I can't even imagine the reality of what you are going through.

I think you as parents have amazing strength and courage and that Allie is truly an angel on earth brought hear to touch all of us as she has and to bring awareness to the horrible disease that is killing her.

You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am still praying for a miracle for your angel.

Your daughter Katie is absolutely beautiful. She is a very fortunate little girl to have such loving and amazing parents like you and your husband. I can see how painful and grievous this time must be for you both, however I can also see in your words that your love for this precious little girl is immeasurable and unquenchable, and not deminished by even death. You are amazing people. Your story will stay with me a very long time. I hope that through this you are able to find the peace and comfort that you need to carry on. I pray that God blesses you abundantly. Wishing all of you peace.

Tender thoughts of you and your beautiful daughter.

Dearest Jenny, Andrew, and the smallest of Angels, Allie~
I was just recently brought here by a friend on babyzone.com. We have been reading your entries, frequently through tear filled eyes. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling at his moment. My heart aches for you all. I am a mother myself, my youngest not much older than Allie. I read your pages, then look at Josh and just want to hold him forever and never let him go. Allies body is merely a shell, and her spirit will soar with wings of gold. You are truly blessed to have been the parents of such a beautiful little girl, even if for such a short time. You show courage and strength in your writings, even though you may not feel it at the time. I will forever keep you all in my thoughts and blessings. I wish Allie a safe, peaceful and painless passing to her new home. I know she will always be watching over you.

My dearest Jenny and Andrew - Of course I will help you celebrate Allie's life. I've considered myself blessed to know her from the very 1st post I read from you. I have laughed and cried with you the entire time. You have a precious gift and she is being celebrated right now....she has been from the very beginning. I am so lucky to have her in my life. Here is my prayer of thanks....Dear Lord, THANK YOU so much for bringing baby Allie into my life. Thank You for her mom and dad who, without fail, everyday kept us up to date on Allie's progress. Thank You for the good days that you gave her mom and dad with Allie. Thank You for giving Jenny and Andrew strength to deal with the bad days. Thank You for giving Jenny and Andrew the awesome support system that they have in place...Jenny's parents, Andrew's parents, Dana and Dennis, Annie, May, and countless others. Lord, if You do take Allie with you, please keep her wrapped up tight in Your loving arms. I am still praying to You Lord for that miracle. Again, Lord thank You so much for bringing Allie into my life....I am as thankful for her as I am for the day You brought my son into my life. Amen.

Allie - Sweet baby girl....I love you so very much. I wish that I could be one of the lucky ones who could come and say hello and love on you just a little. But I guess cyber (((((HUGS)))) and kisses are going to have to do. So, if you could baby girl, give your mommy and daddy an extra kiss and hug from me tonight. I love you baby girl :)

All our love, support and PRAYERS

Words cannot fully express how heartbroken I am reading Allie's story. Your family will be in my prayers.
Although Allie's life with you will be far to short please know that her story has inspired many. As a first time mom to a 3 month old boy I often questioned my decision to have children. After reading Allie's story I thought about how I would handle a crisis with my son and realized the amazing depths of love I have for him and that the endless nights and crying jags and personal sacrifices are a blessing, for my child is happy and healthy. But for the Grace of God go I. God bless all of you.

Allie has touched me like one of my own and I thank you for sharing her and her story with the whole world. I pray that Allie either gets a mircale that everyone of us is praying for or she leaves this world peacefully! I so hope you get the mircale.

Dear Scott Family,

I keep a blog, and many of us have been praying for Allie, and can not put into words our sorrow at the news, and our desire to celebrate Allie's life. One verse came out, as we all asked WHY, why does God let this happen? The verse was:
Isaiah 55:8,9

�For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, as the heavens are higher then the earth, so are my ways higher then your ways and my thoughts then your thoughts.�

That does put it best. Also, I think you Jenny, Allie's mom, said it best too. Like you. I don't think this (the cancer) is God's Will. Our bodies became something else, if you go back to biblical teaching when Adam and Eve left Eden (again, this is a biblical perspective!) our bodies became a place...a place to store our souls and because they are of THIS world, they (bodies) can corrupt. Like cancer.

God doesn't make these things happen, He just takes care of us as we face the pain. He knows there is a great purpose for Allie now, as painful as it is for us and you her family. She'll be purer than any of us who have lived as long as we have. She hasn't had her heart broken, lost her faith, made mistakes....though we all wish she could live longer, none of us would want her to go through that list of things.

Is isn't fair by OUR standards. It SUCKS mightily by OUR standards. But to Him, there are standards we don't know about or could fathom, and he'll take care of Allie, and probably give us a few more blessed moments to touch us before she goes. Allie's journey is NOT over.

God takes what happens to us, and turns it in to a miracle. Whether we've sinned, or been distant, or are sick or losing someone who is ill, sometimes that sin or troubled time leads us back to him, like you said in your own life. Allie has been used to touch us. Not just Christians, but on a humanity level - no matter what one believes or dosen't believe in. Allie has done more in her 9 months, than I've done in my lifetime, and I'm a teacher and would like to think I touch people. How humbling!!! Allie doesn't know what she'll miss out on this life...Allie just knows she is loved by, and she loves her family. Now she can love God face to face.

Does that make it any easier for you? For your readers? For me and my own faith? NO. I still weep when I read the entries, I still question. But at a deep level...I feel peace (sometimes not, but mostly). I feel peace in what the scripture says - even though I don't understand something - I just have to believe there is a greater purpose, and that He's here taking care of all us, especially you, even though it HURTS, and I know what I feel is NOTHING compared to what you and your family feels.

I can only hope if this ever happens to my baby, I can hold on to this faith...it is easier to express this when not directly affected. Again, maybe this is God teaching us, building up our faith for our own tests, so we'll be strong(er).

Thanks Allie for being my greatest teacher. And Jenny - thank YOU for being you to so many of us strangers. You and Andrew are in our prayers. Allie too! We're still praying for a miracle, even though Allie already is one!

God Bless,
Becca and the Rose Family

Jenny and Andrew, like everyone else, I am so sorry for what you are going through right now, and what little Allie is going through. I wrote a longer note to the "wasthree" hotmail account, with some medical info that might be of help to you right now... I know that probably sounds presumptuous, but it was something I learned while taking care of a loved one who was in hospice care at home. I just thought it was something you might mention to one of the docs, in case they thought it might be useful/helpful. You never know what might bring even the tiniest piece of relief to a grieving, breaking heart. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers always!

I have just recently heard about your family and wanted to give you all a hug through email. I have two children of my own and cannot even begin to understand what you are going through. You have made me realize even more ow precious the little things are in life. You said in your journal that yesterday Allie and you just looked at each other for 5 minutes and that you'll never forget it. That's why I believe that God blessed Allie with such caring parents as you, because you realize how special tiny, sweet moments are like that. I am praying for you and for Allie. The strength that your family has is amazing. Blow a tiny kiss to Allie for me!

Jenny, Andrew & Precious Allie,
You will never know how many lives you have touched by sharing your heartwrenchin story with the world. I read your updates and cry with you daily. It seems so unfair that God has chosen this path for Allie but who am I to question him. He has used Allie as his angel for months through your touching updates. We will continue to pray for all of you through this difficult time and pray for a miracle for Allie or at a minimum for comfort. We love your little angel!

Dearest Family, I am feeling your pain. I am so sorry you had to live a sad life of a child fighting cancer. No words I say will make the pain go away. I can say I hope you find comfort and peace that she is a precious angel and made quite an impression on the world. The Angels might be calling her back to heaven but until then, hang on to each and every second, and keep giving those kisses. She is beautiful. I will let my daughter Madison know that Allie might come up to play in heaven, as I too am a parent who lost a little girl, 2 days before her 4th birthday to this evil Cancer. I pray for strength for your family. ((((HUGS to you mommy and daddy))) and ((Kisses to Baby Allie)))) ...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Scott,
I can only imagine how horable you must feel about Allie. I don't know what it is like to have a child because I am only 13 years old. I am a student in Mrs. Kingeter's seventh grade class. She has been informing us on Allie, Sam, and her nefew Fieldon. Allie's story has touched me and my classmates the most. I hope what I have to say helps:
Everyday, every morning we all pray that Allie dies peacefully, and that you can find peace within this misfortune. And everyday I can only think how miserable you will feel when Allie leaves your life, but today I thought differently. I am with my mom before and after school. I am with my dad before school and when he gets home from work. Even these times don't last long becuase my mom is always running errands after school and when my dad is home I am at dance, volleyball, or at any other activity. You may not to get to experience Allie grow much older, but she will always be with you unlike my parents.
My mom cries whenever she reads or hears about a baby dying because she to lost her first child. Allie's story touched not only her but my dad too the most. In honor of Allie's story my dad, mom, and I are reseaching how people can get registered for a bone marrow transplant.
I think your experience has made your spiritual family bigger. as I once heard a family is a support system. And so in all the support your family has added at least 21 new kids from my class. I know it's not the same as having Allie and I assure you all of the kids in my class combined will never be as beautiful as Allie with her bright blue eyes and really red hair, like mine. And I believe truly believe that you really do have an angel in your presence and always will. And I will continue to pray forever for Allie the Angel of God.

Jenny, Andrew & Allie,
I have followed your precious baby girls battle with this illness for some time. I have just now felt compelled to leave an entry in the guestbook. There are no words to express my thoughts. Please know that you are in my prayers. Your precious baby girl doesn't deserve this. There is no rhyme or reason to it. She is far too young to be having to experience this kind of pain. But she is most definately a trooper! And she is because of the love and support both you (Jenny) and Andrew have given her. She may have only a short time in this world, but boy has she touched so many lives. She will forever by your angel both here and in heaven. Take things one day at a time. I pray for strength for both of you and will always keep you in my prayers.

I have been following little Allie's progress for several months now and have cried so many tears. My little boy is 4 days older than Allie and I hold him closer and love him harder because of your story. You and Allie have touched so many lives - we should all be so lucky to love and be loved so intensely and unconditionally. May God be with you all through this and may He hold you in the palm of His hand.

I have been reading your updates now for many months, as my mother has been battling cancer for 12 years. I have prayed hard for your little Allie to pull thru this - my mom lost her battle on August 24th. I just wanted to tell you - that if it brings you any comfort, my mother just loved little babies - and she will be there to welcome precious Allie - she won't be alone. I know my mom will be there to love her too.

God Bless you all, I know how hard this is,

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie:

I have never met you but I feel so close to you after reading your journal every night. I wish there was a way that I could ease your pain. I can't even begin imgaine what you must be going through. Jenny, you are a remarkable woman and an amazing mother. I won't forget Andrew either! Even though he rarely posts, I see the beautiful pictures of him and Allie and can see what a wonderful father he is. You have been blessed to have Allie as your sweet baby girl but she has been blessed too, to have such loving and caring parents.

I just want you to know that you two and sweet baby girl Allie, are in my prayers now and will be for days to come.

God bless you all,

As I read what you and allie have been going through, it reminds me alot of what we had to go through. My son was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) almost 2 years ago. It's been a long two years but he's in remission.

Last year was the hardest because he was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (which there is no cure for) due to the chemotherapy plus he has liver problems. His chemo is on-going until summer of 2006.

As I read your posts, it brought tears to my eyes because it brought back so many painful and joyous memories...I could totally relate to what you went through.

I am still trying to deal with things and it's been very hard for me cuz I look at my son and say no child deserves this. I try to find comfort somewhere but I can't.

God has given you so much strength, patience, and love. I only wish I had your strength and patience.

Allie is such a beautiful little girl who has taught so many people so much without even knowing!!

Allie, the precious doll that she is, is the epitome of how every day should never be taken for granted when your loved ones are near. You can bet that I now cherish every day I have with my own children so much more, and regret that I haven't been half the mother that you have for the last 17 years. My 17y/o, 14y/o, and 8-month-old daughters and 11y/o old son will definitely have a much more doting mother thanks to your strength and your love for Allie. God bless you all, Jenny, Andrew, and Allie, and give you peace.

Beautiful, sweet, precious Allie...
Your such a loved little baby. I look at your site almost daily, and my heart just aches. After my kids are both down for a nap, and I have some free time, I pull my chair up to the computer and just read and cry, and look at your pictures, and cry some more. Your parents are so strong and have so much love for you. And you are so amazing. So perfect and beautiful. Thank you Allie for the gift you have given me. You have reminded me that we never know how long we truly have. I appreciate my children now, more then ever. I give them more kisses and hugs, then they can handle. I tell them I love them as much as I can. May god watch over you and your wonderful mommy and daddy. May he give you peace and comfort and may he give them the strength they need to get through probably the hardest thing they will ever endure in their lives.

Praying for you always....

In the book "Attitudes of Gratitude" by M. J. Ryan there is a short chapter entitled "Look for the Hidden Blessings of Difficult Situations" part of which states:

"Some people once brought a blind man to Jesus and asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?' They all wanted to know why this terrible curse had fallen on this man. And Jesus answered, 'It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the words of God might be manifest in him.' He told them not to look for why the suffering came but to listen for what the suffering could teach them." (--Wayne Muller--)

"Gratitude is an all-out experience. It's cheating to be grateful only for the good things that happen and to shun the bad. This isn't to say that we want bad things to happen to us, just that if we can be grateful for the soul-lessons inherent in the difficulties that befall us, then our souls will be able to grow and mature. Otherwise, we never progress, because we fail to use the hardships that dog us to become more loving, more patient, more present, more kind.

"The people whom I admire most in the world say without reservation that the hardest things they had to face, cancer, the death of a child, a bankruptcy, or job loss, had been their greatest teachers and that they were grateful for the lessons ..."

I just want to express to all of you how much I have come to admire you in the past couple of days since finding your website. It is abundantly clear that you have been blessed and are aware of the many blessings and gifts you have received from this incredibly difficult experience.

I printed out one of your family photos and have it on my desk at work, so I think and pray for you often throughout the day. Problem is, sometimes tears well up in my eyes and it makes it difficult to work!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Give Allie a kiss for me.

I have learned so much from your family, and I have never even met you, but you inspire me to share the love I have. May God bless your family, and may God watch over you precious Allie until He can hold you in his arms Himself. The world loves you baby girl!

Hi, Jenny. First time entry but you've been in my thoughts & prayers since May. So many thoughts run thru my mind as I read your "diary" of Allie's life. Having lost my dad on Aug 4, I can empathize with your pain, potential loss & at the same time your celebrating life thru Allie. As challenging as it may be and will become more so, concentrate on the joys Allie has brought to you & Andrew in her short life: the moment you learned you were expecting her, feeling that first kick & hearing her heartbeat on the monitor, seeing the sonogram, the moment she arrived in your arms (wasn't she the most beautiful baby you ever saw!), the cooing, and the smiles. Oh, those little smiles! No matter how little sleep you'd had or how awful those French students were - all the problems in the world melted away when Allie smiled. Do you remember the first time she squeezed your finger? These are the moments you must cling to now.
Only God knows how many days each of us has. For some, like your dad & mine, there were many days. For Allie, much fewer. But it's not do important the number of days that we have, but what we do with them. Allie has used her days to bring love and joy and smiles to everyone around her. Her medical problems have challenged her medical teams, but each of them accepted the challenged to make this world a better place for the Allies, Jennys and Andrews of this world. From every challenge, something is learned that will help someone else.
Allie's purpose in life was to bring joy and love to her mommy & daddy, her grandparents, extended family, friends and strangers. And from all I can read & have heard, little Miss Allie has done her job very well. I bet you that when the Lord calls her home, His first words to her will be "Well done, good and faithful servant."
And no doubt the first person to greet her, maybe even open the gate for her, will be her Grandpa Jerry. And I bet you those 2 will have lots of stories to tell each other.

I know this is a difficult time for you & Andrew. Your heart is breaking into so many pieces. But your courage & strength are showing through those cracks. Just hold on to each other. Love Allie as much as you can. And remember that God will take care of all of you. His loving arms are stronger than any human's and His lap is even bigger and deeper. Just crawl up in His lap, cry & sleep. He'll take care of you, because He loves you and Andrew and Allie.
I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. My dad used to say that he often felt wrapped in a cocoon of prayer, because he knew so many people were praying for him. So enjoy YOUR cocoon of prayer, made up of strands from people all over the world. May God give you all the strength, rest and peace that you need.

Sweet little Allie,

I never once thought I would cry for a child I didn't know. I didn't know I would worry about you, try to find information about AML, go to book stores and search medical info...hoping there was something out there the doctors didn't try, didn't know of.
My son gave me a note he made in school. It said "Love you mommy and daddy". Because of you dear Allie, he has been kissed more than ever in his life. There are more hugs, more love and more time. Now we find the time for each other.

Celine Dion

FLY

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take you gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet.

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Jenny and Andrew,

I cannot imagine what you are going through. It probably doesn't help much to know so many of us wish you peace in the future, but do know your family has touched so many lives.

You do not know me, but I was referred to your site by a friend who was on your BBC pg board. Reading little Allie's story brings tears to my eyes and yet fills my heart with an unexplainable peace. Something about her beautiful little face and precious self as a whole tells me that you need not worry. God works in mysterious ways, and I believe he has great things in store for you and your little Allie. God willing, she will kick this cancer and you will see her doing all the things you've always dreamed of.

That said, while we've never met and while I really don't know you, please know that you, your family, and most of all Allie will be in my thoughts and prayers daily. If I lived closer I'd be there in a heartbeat to help you with anything I could. But since I don't live there, my prayers and thoughts will have to be enough for now.

I have bookmarked your site, and will be checking in often. Good luck, God Bless, and Best Wishes to you and your little angel!! (((((The Scott Family)))))

I have thought about signing your guestbook many times, but never did. I feel compelled to now. My daughter, Alexus, and your precious Allie are birthday buddies. When I first read your story, her birthdate was the first thing that caught my eye. I look at my healthy 8 1/2 month old daughter and I automatically think of Allie. She truly is an angel. Your sweet baby has touched so many lives and I believe that her purpose on this earth has been fulfilled. I won't tell you that this is all part of God's plan because I know you don't want to hear that, but I will tell you that Allie will no longer suffer once she gets called home. I will also tell you that your absolutely right in celebrating her life. We are all "loaners" on this earth and some of us get to stay longer than others. Just think how your life will be forever changed because of your daughter. I have been on both sides of the fence, I am a mom and I watched my brother battle cancer. When he was 2, we found out he had a brain tumor that took up 3/4 of his brain. They told us he would die, then if he lived he would never walk again. Well, he will be 6 in October and he started Kindergarten last month. He also walks and runs, just wobbles a bit. So, just remember, miracles can and do happen. My husband asks me daily if there is an update on Allie or he'll say "go check on Allie please". We are praying for your family and we have our family praying for you also. We love you baby Allie and we admire your strength!

Hello, my darlings.

I am back today as I promised I would be. Part of me cries, yet a bigger part of me rejoices in the life that IS Allie. You have seen the love your child has for you reflected out of her eyes. What a special time for just the two of you.

I have often thought over the last few days that I was lucky because my first child was taken from me before I ever got to know her. I miscarried Kendall at only 10 weeks - too soon to know if a boy or girl (I assume girl), too soon to feel her move, too soon to know her as a person, only as an idea. So although it was hard to loose her, I was able to get through. Now, reading your posts, I realize how very much I missed by not being able to hold her, feel her hand stroke my cheek, see her love for me when I look into her eyes. I can still have that from my twins, born almost two years after Kendall, but I'll never have it from Kendall. You are the lucky ones, dearests, and the blessed ones.

You are blessed to have Allie for every moment of every day that she is in your lives, whether it be for a moment or a lifetime. And she is so very blessed to have you. God made a good choice when he made you all a family. Doesn't mean too much for you right now, I'm sure. Although there is peace, there is anger and confusion and hurt and disappointment. But as long as peace is there, it's okay.

I'm so glad you could let more people see her, spend time with her. And I'm glad you decided to stay where you are. You're right, it is home as far as she is concerned, and she needs to be surrounded by the unconditional love and support she has received there. On her behalf, thank you for listening with your hearts.

So many posts here tell you how strong you are - I heard that alot when I went through some horrors years ago. I thought to myself, "I'm not strong, I'm just doing what I need to do to get through the day." If that is strength, then so be it. You do what you need to do to get through, darlings. As long as you go with your heart, you will never go wrong.

Kiss her once for me, will you? And hug each other tight too, because you need hugs!

Dear sweet Allie
I have a baby girl that is 5 months old and you remind me so much of her. Your story has been inspiring me to be the best mom that I can. Every second that I can spend with her is precious and can never be replaced. I am praying for you and your family. the strength that you have all shown is remarkable. I heard about you through a friend that encouraged me to read your story. You remind me so much of my baby girl that I couldn't hold back the tears. Your family is blessed to have this time with you. Enjoy every second together. Touch each other and love each other. Life is such a blessing. Never take for granted any time with those that you love. The world starts becoming so fast paced that you forget about what is really important. I never knew what love really was until I had my daughter. A daughter is the most amazing gift. I will be praying for you sweet angel. May god bless you.

Testify To Love
by Wynonna Judd

Album :
Submitted by :
Corrected by :

All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
Reaches out to find the love he gave

Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart
Will speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
(I will testify)
I will testify love

I remember when this song was featured on the Tv show, "Touched by an Angel". A little boy was dying, perhaps of leukemia or cancer, and Wynnona Judd played his mom on the show. They wrote this song together, and she sang it at the end. Jenny, Andrew, and Allie-I pray for the peace that only God can give-the peace that passes all understanding. I love your little girl-I've never met her, but I love her all the same. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. God be with you all.

Love,
Natalie, from the Feb. BBC board

God Needed An Angel In Heaven

When Jesus lived upon the earth
so many years ago,

He called the children close to him
because he loved them so�

And with that tenderness of old,
that same sweet, gentle way,

He holds your little loved one close
within his arms today�

And you�ll find comfort in your faith
that in his home above

The God of little children
gives your little one his love

So think of your little darling
lighthearted and happy and free

Playing in God�s Promised Land
where there is joy eternally.

God Bless you Allie, Andrew and Jenny. I pray that Allie will not have any more suffering and that God will grant you both peace and comfort once she goes home to be with God in Heaven.

Dear Scott Family,
First I want to tell you that I am praying constantly for Allie and your family. Reading Allie's story has touched me so deeply. I have a son David who was born December 31st. He has been a handful since day one and I have struggled to figure out his needs and wants, but I've come to realize that I am fortunate to have him. I am fortunate that God has blessed me and since reading about Allie, I have hugged him a little more and stressed about things a little less. I have looked at my 4 older children in a new light. Frankly, I am now looking at my WHOLE life in a new light. Thank you for sharing your journey and thank you for sharing Allie. Your courage and unconditional love has both brought tears and lifted me up. I truly believe that Allie is God's special messenger.
Many blessing and prayers,
Diana Kent

I've been struggling with what to write that will help you in some small way. But there are no words. In one week, it will be 4 years since our daughter was born. Five short days later, she went to Heaven. Our situations are not the same and our stories are not the same, but our heartache is. Little Miss Allie is a beautiful child and a precious gift. I am praying for your little sweetheart. May God give you peace and comfort and may you feel His never-ending love.

She gave so much to be so little, but angels always do.

Wow. I've somewhat followed your story on my birth board- but today is the first time I've really looked through your webpage.

I just want you guys to know that you've changed my life today for the better. I'm so sorry that any mommy or daddy has to make the decisions you've had to make, and to see what you've seen your baby girl go through. I'm so sorry to hear that the treatments haven't worked like you've hoped- and although I pray you'll get a miracle, I also pray that you might be comforted through this time, whatever the outcome.

Baby Allie is so beautiful. I have a daughter only 2 months younger- I can't imagine what you are going through.

Your family will be in our prayers. May God be with you as you go through this time, and may your little angel be at peace.

God Bless,

Dear Scott Family,
After having come across your website about your precious daughter, Allie, I wanted to add my thoughts and prayers to everyone else's. I am so saddened yet uplifted by Allie's story. I can not imagine what it feels like to watch your child struggle with an illness; my heart hurts just thinking of my own child becoming ill. I do know how it feels to watch a loved one struggle with an illness and lose their fight. I lost both my Mom and Dad. I can totally understand your desire to give Allie every chance to live as rich a life as she can for as long as she can.

I so admire and respect what you have been doing, opening your hearts and lives to the world; increasing awareness of Allie's disease and the plights of others, and dealing with feelings of love and grief so tangible.... Thank you for letting us in and for sharing Allie with us. Every baby is a blessing; God Bless your family.
Thinking of you fondly,

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie...I just wanted to write a short note to let you know that you are in my thoughts. Your strength amazes me daily, and I am so thankful to you for sharing with all of us the incredible life of little Allie. She is beautiful, as are both you and Andrew. I will continue to pray for all of you.

Jenny & Andrew~
I have been following your story (along with Sam's and Fieldon's) for a month or so and I can't describe how you have affected my heart. You are all truly amazing, strong people. I pray (& cry) nightly for Allie, Sam, Fieldon and all children affected by such a cruel disease. You and your families will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sweet Allie~
You are a true Angel!! You have touched some many lives in your short lifetime. You are a precious gem and will never be forgotten. You have captured a piece of my heart. I am proud to say that I will walk in your honor @ The Light the Night Walk on October 2 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Jenny & Andrew,
I am sending big hugs to you and your family. I think you are two of the strongest people I know. You manage to make everyone around you feel better. I think people are truly blessed to know you and your family. You mention that Allie is your angel, I believe you both are also angels here for others.
I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through with your precious little girl. I will continue to keep sweet Allie and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to share with us, you have touched my life more than you know.
God bless!

I just read your little girl Ally's story and you and your entire family has been lifted up in prayer this afternoon. I just pray that God will work a miracle in your lives and just give all of you peace and comfort. I pray that you continue to be strong and enjoy your little girl as long as you can and know that whatever happens is in God's will and He will get you through whatever you are facing. He is with you and your baby girl at all times, just pray because He hears you! I will continue to pray for Ally, you and your husband, as well as your entire family and drs. and nurses that God is working through. May God's blessings rain down on you!!!!

I'm at a loss for words Allie. I don't know what to say or do. I pray for you constantly and love you so much (even though we've never met). I feel as if you are a relative. I pray for God to have mercy on you and I do believe in miracles. We need her here on earth Lord, please let us keep our angel.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet Allie. I am still praying for that miracle. Your last two posts have seemed like you are at peace, at least for the time being and I sincerely hope you are able to celebrate Allie's life! You are blessed to have her with you, enjoy every moment and movement she makes (as I am sure you already do). I look forward to your posts and will be waiting to see her sweet smile again. Please post more pictures when you can.May Peace be with you!
