Whenever I read about something like this it makes me want to cry – I feel the pain that you and your husband went through when she died. Always remember your little girl…

My first son was 29 weeks early. 3lb. 2oz. Our second son was 38 wks. 8lbs. 5ozs.(He had bad Reflux.) Both were sent home on apnea monitors. The nurses would collect things for us like a small diaper, or the first bottle, the heart stickers that hold the wires on. Their first pacifier, cute signs they would make for them.
Well now I save way too much of their items! I have almost all of their papers and projects and gifts that he made or drew for me since he started pre-school until last year (His Senior Year) I have most of his special toys.I have clothes, shoes, hats,mittens,special blankets and much much more things that I can’t bear to share, loan,or donate to anyone. It has been almost twenty years ago I should be ready to downsize. Yet the same thing happens every time I start going through the boxes. All of the memories. I still need all of those memories! How do I chose which ones go and which ones stay? As for now I will not do it.

I’m sorry if my words were taken out of context. I meant no harm/sadness/anger to Heather… I just meant how horrible to have the box and not Maddie… that’s all. Again, sorry if I offended anyone.

Never met you, and I don’t know you. But I check your blog so frequently. Waiting for more adventures of the Amazing Annabelle, waiting to see what funny story you’ve posted, wishing there was a new story about Maddie. Thinking she should be in Annabelle’s adventures. Maddie is SO real to me, so ALIVE in my mind. Then when I read one of your heartbreaking posts I remember that she is gone and that you are not the person you once were. I know this seems so insignificant, but I think of your family everyday and say a prayer for you all.

I wasn’t home to leave you words of encouragement in your time of sorrow. It seems that everyday is a struggle..some days are more difficult than others…retreat to the safe spot where you can feel her and feel how much she loves you…she does.
Wishing you peace and love….especially on the hard days.

Heather,
Right now my baby is in the NICU. We’ve been there 4 1/2 months (I started following your blog long before I had my baby). It sucks. And on bad days, like today, you give me strength. I realize my bad days are not so bad. I pray for you all the time, but I think that you are somehow the answer to my prays. You are such an inspiration to me. It’s hard to believe that this much hurt can actually exist in the world, but we get through, we survive. I hope this doesn’t upset you. I just want you to know I think you are an amazing woman and mother to your girls.
