About a month ago I spent the day with a really nice loving family who were sharing their story with the Today Show crew I was working with. To meet the Lukach's one would never know the battles they have conquered and continue to face each day....yet their commitment to each other and what seems like a bottomless reserve of love keeps them together...moving forward.

Every person you meet, every house you pass has a story going on inside...some more difficult than others...many untold, hidden or misunderstood. In the world we live in, a bit of compassion and empathy can go a long way in our daily interactions...something we all can be reminded of.
