I am so grateful that a friend told me about this video. It is so tender that it would benefit a broader audience. What a precious girl and extraordinary family. The father, John, is the prototype for a loving father. It is heart-warming to see the tenderness with which he approached Maria. Having lost a child, I am aware of the unimaginable pain they are experiencing. God bless Maria, a bright ray of light. No doubt she is watching with adoration from behind the thin veil that separates her now from her loving family.
