RIP Young Ashlynn. Such a sad story, but uplifting at the same time. The Horry's helped this disease become recognized and named, which will lead to more research and hopefully a treatment.

Geesh, as the father of a 7 week old also looking forward to my first fathers day, this is unimaginable to me.  Makes waking up at 3 am to change his diapers seem a lot better.

Its always terrible to see someone lose a love one who was so young. It just doesent seem just. The Horrys will be in my thoughts and prayers.

That is the worst kind of loss.  I hope/pray he and everyone else who has lost their child to things like this can find strength.

when you lose a child who has a terminal condition. In my work with hospice and on the palliative unit, parents feel so much guilt when they are relieved their child's suffering comes to an end. It sounds as if Ashlynn was able to be happy, which is all you can hope for as a father. The Horrys will be in my prayers.

I have a 3 year old, and I think about these worst case scenarios way too much.  My prayers and love to Big Shot Rob and his family.  For HLprn302:  God bless you for doing hospice work.  That stuff is not easy.
