“Frankie had to be hospitalized last year. Because of the hospital COVID restrictions in those first few weeks/months, my husband and I weren't allowed to be in the hospital together. I really learned just how strong I could be when I had no one else there with me. On the other hand, my own mother, mother-in-law, and friends really stepped up and gave me a ton of support. So, while I already knew mothers had a tremendous amount of love in them, it was nice to have that support when I needed it most. My advice to other mother's is so ordinary...don't take time with your kids for granted. You don't know how much time you have so make the most of it.” - Erica Avello, mom to childhood cancer hero Frankie #MothersDay
