How could a picture tell more? Know that there are arms reaching out from friends known and unknown all over the globe, friends whose lives have been made more real by your words. Peace You have shown us Elena’s spirit. How could a picture tell more?

I just hope I can have such a great love and life commitment as you show through these words. I think that's all I can expect from being a parent. You make me have more hope in the world. May God bless you, comfort your heart, soothe your pain. I am a single young man yet, and I have this big dream of having children, making a family.

I'm so, SO sorry for your tremendous loss. This is a heartbreaking story and I hope that you come out stronger for it. I can honestly say that a month ago I don't think I'd have been impacted by your story as much as I have been today. Roughly 4 months ago my girlfriend at the time informed me that she was pregnant. We'd been going out for a while and decided to get married (3 months on Monday). After some initial wedding jitters I haven't regretted that decision at all. Last Tuesday we went in for an ultrasound and found out that we're having a boy. Seeing my baby made the whole thing so much more real. Far more real than seeing my wife outgrow her old clothes. That said I'm finding myself more and more interested in the experiences of fathers around me (including my own). Thankyou for sharing with me a picture (of sorts) of your family and your experience of fatherhood. Casey Margell Hi Daniel,

Elena's radiant smile will forever be etched on my heart. I don't know many of the first graders at Boulevard, as my boys are in kindergarten and third grade. But Elena always stood out. She was a joy. We played with her on the playground after school. Thank you, Daniel, for your eloquent words on this blog. Elena touched so many people's lives. Now your words are helping us process our grief. Our love is with you. Susan Vodrey Daniel, Kim, and Maggie-
