Many families will have to make room for a decidedly uninvited house guest at the holidays: grief. Everyone’s loss is wholly unique to them. As is their journey through boundless pain. This is the story of Andrew Kaczynski, 32, his wife Rachel Ensign, 33, and their cherubic 9-month-old daughter Francesca, who died last Christmas Eve after a fierce battle with pediatric brain cancer. The couple shared a mix of raw, frustrated and hopeful emotions with USA TODAY for two reasons: to spotlight the cancer research fundraising efforts they've undertaken in their daughter's memory, and to give others a window into how it is possible to suffer the unimaginable and live on with joy.
