I have thought often of your precious Maddy and as I was showering this morning something came to my mind that I wanted to share with you. Every picture of that little girl shows the love you both poured out on her every minute of every day. If there is any peace that you can find thru all this maybe it can be in the knowing of how much she knew she was loved. She shined just like that special little twinkling star that you will find looking down at you from the heavens.

When I “met” you, I thought you were funny. The April Fools day pics had me rolling.

Oddly, thanks for making me cry today. I will say that they are for Maddie and for Tommy and for your Grandma, but really they are for me.

I so don’t want to be in your or her position. Leukemia scares me. And today, I needed to cry.

Thanks.

Maybe your sense of humor could come back in other places, anonymous guest posting? Let me know when you feel up to it!

I love it, Heather! So funny. By clicking on a few links, this video took me to many other videos of Maddie that I hadn’t seen, as well as an incredible tribute video to the lyrics of “Streets of Heaven” that left me flat-out sobbing in front of my computer screen. What a treasure and inspiration your daughter will ALWAYS be. I want magic words to give you, more than ever after my crying fest today because I know it was only the most minor fraction of what you’re dealing with, but there aren’t any. Only that Maddie was magical herself – in her personality, in her love, in her ability to touch others, in the good work that will be done in her name for the March of Dimes for years to come. There are millions of full-grown adults in this world who have never offered such joy and purpose to others as your daughter did in less than 2 years. That’s true magic.

I just wanted to share that I have been reading your blog for several months now and I often share it with my 2 year old daughter. She LOVES the videos of Maddie and often repeats “Wow” while she smiles brightly at Maddie on the computer screen! She will say, “Again” each time the video ends and this can go on for qite sometime! Thank you Heather for sharing your little girl with me and my little girl! She truly is special and will always be remembered!!!

I’ve never – except for my own – seen such a lovable child.

I love the new blog design too. Thinking of you all. Please give an update on Mike – he is in our prayers too of course.
