Dan Langlois is no stranger to hospitals. As the father of four special needs children, he's passed back and forth through the doors of the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for check-ups, tests, emergencies, and surgeries. As he left the hospital recently, after another visit with his son, a new feeling overtook him: guilt.

In a letter he sent to the hospital, Dan wrote down his own love/hate relationship with a pair of seemingly innocuous doors, and offered his deepest condolences to those who have a worse relationship with them.


The letter went viral, with hundreds of comments and thousands of shares. It was an act of empathy that resonated with the public.

Many people weighed in, sharing their own stories of when the unthinkable happens.

The hospital itself was overwhelmed at the reaction the letter received.

With the simple act of empathizing with people he doesn't even know, Dan created a strong sense of community with his letter.

On the suggestion of one Facebook user, the children's hospital is considering framing the letter and hanging it just inside "these doors."

Sounds like a great idea!

Michelle Obama's Candid Comments About Why She Doesn't 'Miss' Her Kids Has Moms Everywhere Applauding

The stereotype of the weeping mother unable to cope with her children beginning preschool, or kindergarten, or graduating from high school, or going off to college was shattered by former First Lady Michelle Obama during a recent appearance by Jon Stewart on her IMO (In My Opinion) with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson podcast.

While pop culture has reinforced the trope of empty nester moms unable to cope when their children gain independence, the former FLOTUS told Stewart she feels free now that her daughters Malia and Sasha Obama, now 28 and 25 years old respectively, have moved out on their own.
