On the day Chicago?s first lady announced that she had breast cancer in 2002, Linda Borton of Arlington Heights started her chemotherapy treatments for the same affliction.

Though Borton, a health executive, didn?t know Maggie Daley, she knew they were going through a shared traumatic experience, and immediately felt a kinship with this strong, positive woman.

?I knew I certainly was not alone,? Borton said, as she reflected on Daley?s death Thursday evening from complications of that cancer. ?I wanted to write her a note, just to say I?d been diagnosed myself and to try to send her some words of encouragement.?

Just A Small Bump |Closed|

When the doorbell rang, Elle-May glanced up to see Aiden hurrying for the door. Aiden looked at her. "Smiling is always a good thing." Aiden said before continuing to the door. Ellie just glanced back at Charlie, who was watching her curiously. Aiden unlatched the door and it swung open, his eyes landing on the two people standing there. "Hi guys!" Aiden grinned. "How are you?" He asked, ushering them inside. Closing the door behind him, his eyes flickered back to them. "You know the usual, there are cookies on the table and lemonade in the fridge." He laughed a little. A squeal from then other room alerted his attention. "Oh and Ellie and Charlie are in the living room, playing." Aiden nodded. "Well more like Charlie is giggling and Ellie is just lying there." He shrugged. "And I tried to get Ellie out of her pajamas but she didn't want too." He said in a hushed tone before walking to the living room. "Ellie, they are here!" He said, his voice soft. Ellie glanced up at him and her eyes drifted to Scout & Frankie. "Hi." She managed a smile which lasted for a few seconds before she turned her attention back to Charlie. Charlie had other plans and she wobbly pulled herself up, hurrying over to them as fast as she could. She beamed at them, swaying on the spot a little.
