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 January 3

Gemini

You are in a dissatisfied mood, and are just spoiling for a fight today. However, be warned that this could backfire on you unpleasantly, especially if you take on superiors at work. At home, everyone is used to your behaviour and they generally make allowances for you, as they will today.
