I wanted to share this story. With Father's Day approaching, it is especially

inspiring:

Oooops! Should know better than to be replying so late. Means I don't pay

attention to detail. Very moving account nevertheless so thanks for

sharing. Sure it was an emotional day for father and cardiologist and a fun

time for Evan. Sometimes we do forget that the professionals involved in

our children's lives can be greatly touched by their challenges. Nice to

have the reminder. There are plenty of great professionals out there who

genuinely appreciate and/or understand.
