A long time reader and first time commenter here… I find your words achingly powerful, especially yesterday’s post about how you would do anything to have Maddie back. Your honesty is incredible and you’re right – those of us who love someone the way you love Maddie – we WOULD do anything to regain the loss of that love. I try to learn from everything you write – how to be a better listener, friend, partner, parent. You inspired me when Maddie was living and I am incredulous at your ability to continue to offer yourself to the world in your grief. I hope that the love of your readers in the blogosphere lends you some small degree of support. Maddie is a beautiful angel – thank you for sharing her with us.

You don’t know me, and I don’t think I’ve commented before, but I prayed for your peace tonight. I will again tomorrow.

I ache and bawl every single time I read your blog. You make me want to be a better mother and appreciate every minute with my kids. You are a warrior in a fight you didn’t want- but you are making Maddie live on in so many hearts. Take Care of You.

I second Rebekah.

I think of you every day, even if I don’t comment all the time.

I just wanted to send some cyber hugs.
I don’t know you, but I think about you and Madeline every day and I ache for you and I wish I could do something to help.
You are in my prayers.

You have no idea how many people you are helping. Even those, such as myself, who have experienced a death very close in the family (my mother) but have never been pregnant or lost a child.
Every time I come here to read, I send up a little prayer for you and your family. Maddie is a beautiful girl and I know she is looking down on you.
Thank you for continuing to write.

Heather and Mike – you are wonderful, fantastic people. I am so sorry for what you are going through, it’s so fricking not fair! In my prayers for you in these last few months, I have asked God, why? And I just do not get any kind of answer, or even feeling like maybe there is an answer. But I keep praying for you and sending good thoughts to you from Michigan. You two are the best!

Heather, I’m sure it’s hard for you to feel brave these days, but I promise you: you are brave. I’m here pulling for you, as always.
