Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum canceled his Sunday morning campaign events and planned to spend time with his hospitalized daughter.

“Rick and his wife Karen are admitting their daughter Bella to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia this evening,” spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement Saturday night, adding “Rick intends to return to Florida and resume the campaign schedule as soon as is possible.”

> Prayers for Bella, and all of her loved ones. She’s an adorable child, and thank you for posting the picture.

If you wish, check out the video that is linked above (#8, 13, 14, 15). There are many photos of Bella, all wonderful, and Rick describes the situation very well, lovingly and thoughtfully.

Even though he is not my preferred candidate politically, I have gained tremendous respect for him as a father and as a man, as a result of watching that 3-minute video.

Fair warning -- as a father of a daughter myself, I was in tears by the end...

Thank you very much!

Thanks for posting the link to the video.

Tears in my eyes right now.

I have two young daughters myself. The oldest is Annabelle. I call her Balla.

Prayers for this darling, innocent baby girl and for the entire Santorum family. There has already been such tragedy in their lives. I hope this is just a temporary setback. Please, G-d. Not like this.

The prospect of losing a child is one of those blood freezing occurrences that forces a parent to decide which direction to go...some choose to ignore...some choose to respond as a loving parent. May his family be blessed for making the correct choice.
