Besides expressing her gratitude, the Today host also showed her support for anyone struggling with a sick child. “Anyone who’s ever gone through illness with a child. Boy, I thought I understood you, but I don’t. I didn’t until you’re sitting in that position. So, for every single person that’s going through some stuff. I get it,” she said.
