If you don't mind me sharing a random story about some very good people.
When I was in Boston, my wife and I went out to dinner at @BleacherBar, a restaurant outside Fenway Park with Francesca between chemotherapy treatments.
We sat outside and were the only ones there.
This was October 2020 and they didn't have many customers.
It was our first time eating out during the pandemic.
The waiter noticed our hats – Rachel had on a Yankees hat, I had a on Rays hat. He made a joke about wearing them at Fenway Park.
We told him were there for our daughter's cancer treatments and he expressed how sorry he was.
Even though they didn't have many customers they gave us our meal for free. We told them we wanted to pay, but they wouldn't let us.
Now that things are opening up, and people are vaccinated. I was would strongly recommend people visiting in Boston eat at @BleacherBar.
It's great food, and incredibly kind people. It's kind of gesture of kindness I will never forget the rest of my life.

New: A since-deleted video from 2019 shows MTG harassing @AOC's office through a locked door. Calling her "crazy eyes" and telling her through the office's mailbox slot to "get rid of your diaper" while telling the office to open the door and come out.
West has also said Texas could nullify federal law and endorsed a radio host's view a actual Civil War might be "worth it" to keep Donald Trump president in an term two days ahead of the Jan 6th insurrection.
NEW: Videos reviewed by CNN show Anthony Aguero, a close ally and friend of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene inside the Capitol during the January 6th riot.
Aguero can be seen among the mob in the Capitol Rotunda and later exiting the building.
Aguero, who Greene worked very closely with in her time as an activist and whom she called "amazing" and a "friend," cheered on the attack chanting "heave ho" as rioters broke into the Capitol and later chanted "our house," among the rioters.
CNN previously reported in February Aguero claimed in a live stream he entered the building, the videos, from publicly available streams, are the first visual evidence that he entered the building.
I spoke candidly with @StatNews about our experience with pediatric cancer and what we are doing to help push for more research money and new legislation that will significantly increase funding for pediatric diseases.
“You might see ads on TV, where you see a smiling kid who’s bald, and people think pediatric cancer is no longer a problem. But it’s a big, big problem. And Francesca’s experience is what motivates me — to make sure that we can do everything we can.”
"I think that last month in the ICU is what motivates me to become an activist for pediatric cancer funding and legislation. People need to know that kids get cancer, and kids get brain cancer, and people need to know that a lot of these kids die from it." statnews.com/2021/03/22/wha…
NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing prominent Democrats in Facebook comments, videos, and likes in 2018 and 2019 cnn.com/2021/01/26/pol…
In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi." Green repeatedly liked comments about executing "deep state" FBI agents.
In days since Francesca's death we've gone through a lot of emotions. I've finally been able to watch videos and photos of her from before treatment began. I still cry at them, but it's a different kind of emotion. Watching her silly moments have made me laugh again.
I still can feel that just total immersion of love when holding her and it would be the only thing that would help her sleep. The rambunctious kicks she would do on her mat in the living room. The smiles she constantly had on her face, even when going through treatment.
More than $450,000 has been raised since her death to support her team in the Pan Mass Challenge Winter Cycle charity event. And that money is going directly to a fund to cure ATRT at Dana Farber, whose doctors treated Francesca.
