I read this post when you first published it but was reminded of it recently. A few days ago I was walking upstairs and I noticed some small greasy handprints on the wall. My 3 year old must have put his hand on the wall as he walked up the stairs. I was about to yell at him for putting his grubby hand on my painted wall and then I was going to clean the handprints. But then I remembered this post.
The handprints are still there.

there is just something about handprints that make me very emotional as well I had a clay print done of my son’s hand when he was about 6 wks old (he is now 18) I still have him to wrap my arms around but I still get a little wistful when I am reminded of those days long ago.

I’ve never commented here before, but I think of you all often.

That beautiful little handprint was left there by your sweet girl – she wants you to know she’s ok I’m certain of that!

God bless you all.

Oh, goodness. It made me cry like a baby. I'm so glad you found that little memento, and I'm glad that nobody cleaned it away. I pray every day for peace and comfort for you and your family. Tara @ Feels like home’s last blog post..Homemade Veggie Ranch Pizza

I really have no idea what to say. All I know is how many times I have cried for you and Mike and Maddie. Which has to be a drop in the bucket compared to what you have cried. Kristine’s last blog post..It's the little things

Oh Heather, I can scarcely see my laptop screen through the tears I have in my eyes. What a hauntingly beautiful post. To echo what some of your other posters have said – Maddie didn’t just leave a handprint on that window, she has left one on my heart as well.

Since I found your blog, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, Maddie and Mike. I actually planted a lilac in Maddie’s honor this past weekend. I just felt I needed to find a way to honor such a special little girl.

Sending you much love and gentle hugs.

All I can say is that I continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I have hugs to go around and that photo makes me cry too. Renee J. Ross’s last blog post..Walking the Red Blue Carpet

It’s the tangible things people leave behind that always astound me. Like how can they be gone when their shoes are still by the door? Seeing Maddie’s handprint, loaded with her beautiful DNA must have been so bittersweet for you.
