I have been reading through your blog for days looking for the right time to comment. I need to comment now. I have been unable to go about my usual day since I started reading your blog. I have sat with my girls on the floor and played with them rather than sitting on the couch watching them. I have played with them when mothers gather rather than sitting with the other mums and chatting. I have braved kissing my daughters at night, rather than risking waking them up. This is what your story has done for me. Thank you for sharing it and thank you for Maddie. I will think of you and Maddie often. You have changed me.

I don’t know you at all. I have been reading about Maddie since I found you through Aunt Becky last year, and I will always remember Maddie!!

I think I’ll remember your Maddie for the rest of my life. Her birthday is days before my younger son’s birthday.

No, you don’t forget those people. I’ve been out of high school for 20 years now, and a good friend of my high school sweetheart passed away about 2 years ago. We had all hung around together. I hadn’t spoken to him in years, but when I went to the funeral and saw the pictures his family had put up of us in high school, it flooded back and I felt like I had just talked to him the day before. I think of Tom often.

Heather B – find the parents and tell them. My Aunt lost her college son from a heart attack in the school cafeteria. She said the hardest part is no one tells her they think of him b/c they worry she’ll cry….except one high school girlfriend who for the past 20 years, sends a note to her on his birthday. They would love to hear from you.

I remember William, who I used to babysit for. He was run down and killed when he was 13 years old. His parents were abroad on vacation, and it took two days to find them and tell them the news. Videos of William. playing and happy, were used an a campaign to curb speeding in the UK. I hope his death allowed other to live. He would be 28 now. Everyone who knew Maddie will remember her.

Well I don’t think you ever have to worry about people forgetting Maddie. I know I will never forget that face and that little girl with the sparkle in her eyes. She’s touch a LOT of lives. Thank you for sharing her with us. xx

How incredibly thoughtful of you. If you have a way to get their contact info, they would probably love hearing how you still think of them. MANY people that never knew Maddie think of her. I know I do when I see purple. I do when I see Abby Cadaby (did I spell that right?). People will always remember her because of you and Mike keeping her name and spirit alive.
