Staple tweeted this out and I thought it was worth sharing. If you're like me, having kids means you cry a little every time you read something like this.

"When Maya Rachel Cohen, a spunky, vivacious 5-year-old who loved the Islanders, died suddenly of a rare and hidden heart condition on December 13th, her parents knew just what the legacy of her young life would be.
Maya loved rainbows. From the time she could hold a crayon, there were rainbows everywhere: drawings, birthday cards, coloring-book animals, you name it. If Maya had been near a surface with art supplies, rainbows were the result.
“Every single thing she did had a rainbow on it,†her father, Seth Cohen, says. “It was just who she was.â€
So Seth and Lauren Cohen aim to bring “Maya’s Rainbow†to life. Their mission is to create creative and arts-and-crafts opportunities for children at the JCC Metrowest in West Orange, N.J., where Maya attended preschool and kindergarten after-care and was a vital part of the community."
I am endlessly amazed at the resiliency of human beings.
