\"Pippa loves herself. She is busy living loud and bright. Her existence and witness is our opportunity to opt into love or opt out of it,\" she concluded. \"We each get to decide how much of the spectrum of love we want to experience. She offered me a little extra and I am so deeply grateful to have been invited to know her. 💛💙\"

Ellen Pompeo took to the comments to share love for her former co-star's post, writing, \"The most beautiful emotion captured with these words... ❤️❤️❤️.\"

Scorsone previously reflected on raising Pippa in an essay for \"Good Morning America\" in 2020, in which she wrote, \"Pippa has Down syndrome. But Pippa isn't Down syndrome. Pippa is Pippa.\"

The actress shares three daughters -- Eliza, Pippa and Lucinda -- with ex-husband Rob Giles.
