Hailey, and Alexander's heart

There are some days when I just sit in awe of people and what they are capable of.  Here's a snippet of an email I just received.  It's from a 12-year-old girl named Hailey.  Her blog is called Alexander's Heart.  She says:

"I have a blog in memory of my brother who passed away in 2006 from a heart defect. I was looking online at other blogs and found yours and I would like to give you my blog award for having a blog with heart! My blog is for the purpose of reaching out and helping children who have a sibling who has special needs or who has died.  I do random acts of kindness in my brothers memory."

What an extraordinary young woman.  Here's what she said in a blog post from about a week ago:

"I plan to write in here every day. I have a lot of things to talk about about my brother and my family and my feelings.

My mom will be approving comments for this blog to make sure there isn't anything bad. She will also pre-read the emails for the same reason and then I will read them and reply to you. She's also helping me with my spelling and stuff."

What can I possibly add to this?  Go.  Go and read it.  And say hi to Hailey.

Awe is the right word.
There is nothing you can add.

This breaks my heart and then puts it back together again--patched up with hope and love. What a lovely girl.
