My heart goes out for the pepin family during your time of sorrow. Your daughter looked like an absolute doll baby. May you find comfort in knowing she has peace and comfort in heaven's arm's.

Your family's story touched my life and the lives of my own children in countless ways. I fell in love with Shi the first time I saw her on television. She was and will continue to be an inspiration to all of us. My deepest condolences.

Shiloh looked like the happiest 10 year old alive, despite what she had to live with. When I saw her on Oprah, my heart went out to the Pepin family. What they did for that girl was so special, and if everyone in the world could be that heartfelt and generous, I honestly believe that it could be a much better world.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Scorpio

Be careful how you handle a certain someone today because their mood is little short of incendiary. They'll jump down your throat if you dare to disagree with them, and then accuse you of being a wimp if you decide that it would be better to agree with everything they say. You can't win! If they really get on your wick, you'll have to give them a piece of your mind, even if it is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. Huh!
