All alone in this world of mine,
Not a care for this world have I,
Only you keep my eyes open wide,
Yes, it’s true, I live for you.
Not a thing in this world do I own,
Only sadness and mourn that is grown
In this darkness I wait for the day,
Yes, it’s true, I live for you.
Through many tears I’ve wait,
Through many tears I’ve weeped.
All this time my thoughts return to you,
Give my love that is all I can do,
Wait in line till I feel you inside,
Yes, it’s true, I live for you
Through many years I’ve wait,
Through many tears I’ve weeped.
All this time my thoughts return to you,
Give my love that is all I can do,
Wait in line till I feel you inside,
Yes, it’s true, I live for you.
~George Harrison

O heather and Mike, what is there to say?????
.-= catherine lucas´s last blog ..Looking for a key… =-.
Chris and I just read and are sharing some tears. We love you, Mike & Heather. We love you all.
I have no words to console you guys but I do offer a million hugs to make you feel better for just a second. Even though I didnt have the honor of meeting the precious madeline I miss her too. I hope that doesnt sound weird but she was a true doll. Perfect little angel
(((HUGS)))

I am only up to read this because I have insomnia thinking about my baby. I imagine you will feel the same on this terrible day. I’m so sorry Mike and Heather, I know those words are so tiresome but they are still true.
This sucks.
Time sucks.
You will be on my mind all day, and in my prayers of course. Love and (hugs) and whatever else I could ever give that would matter,
SJ
*hugs tightly*
I wish there were more I could do. I always do. There just never seems to be a good answer…though I don’t think a situation like this…the dark and twisted tangle of pain and loss…the membership in a club of broken hearts that will never again be whole…secrets behind a door that you cannot possibly understand until you find yourself on the other side…words are just never enough.
Just know, you are oh so very loved.
Your sweet Maddie, who you have shared so selflessly with all of us…who you have allowed us to think of her as our Maddie…she will always be loved. She will always be missed. She will never be forgotten.
Your entire family is loved by so many. It doesn’t ease the pain or bring Maddie back or provide answers on how to heal a broken heart (which is putting it lightly, I know) but it does promise you always have someone there for you. All of you.
As long as there is breath in me and all those who stand beside you, Maddie will never be forgotten.

“Who You’d Be Today” by Kenny Chesney
Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin’ in the rain.
I still can’t believe you’re gone.
It ain’t fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I’ve been through,
Just knowin’ no-one could take your place.
An’ sometimes I wonder,
Who’d you be today?
Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky’s so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An’ I know it might sound crazy.
It ain’t fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I’ve been through,
Just knowin’ no-one could take your place.
An’ sometimes I wonder,
Who you’d be today?
I am always with you.

I still think every day when I read your blog that this is not fair and she should be here with you guys. I miss her
Heather…
There are so many songs that make us cry. When my sister passed away, a few days later, Alan Jacskon came out with Sissy’s song. I lost it because I called my sister “sissy”. I thought that was way too weird. If you get a moment, download the song “Time”, by Billy Porter. It is a beautiful song. I think you will like it. I hope you get through this day with happy memories. I will be thinking of you.
Dear Heather and Mike,
What a beautiful photo of your precious World Famous Maddie and such moving words by George Harrison. I am moved to tears once again reading today’s post, I didn’t even make it to the end before my tears started falling. Please remember that your precious Maddie has made such a mark on this world and such a positive impact on so many people all over the world. The World Famous Maddie will never, ever be forgotten. She is remembered daily by so many of us all over the world, just as you, dear Heather and Mike, are in our daily thoughts too. Your precious Maddie and you, Heather and Mike, her amazing parents, have made such an impact on my life and the way I now live my life. You have changed me for the better in so many ways. I think of you, dear Heather and Mike, every day and of your precious Maddie and special Binky Bean every day too. I thank you for sharing your beautiful Maddie with us and for continuing to share your story with us. I continue to learn from you and you continue to be such an inspiration to me. Thank you.
Sending you much love and a big hug,
Erica in Luxembourg
Love to you, Madeline.
.-= Maria´s last blog ..so what do you really think? =-.
Such beauty.
.-= Ms. Moon´s last blog ..For Kori =-.
Seeing beautiful Maddie always reminds me of a particular poem, “The Blessing,” by James Wright. The final line reminds me so much of her spirit and beauty.
“Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota,
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass.
And the eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness.
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me.
We step over the barbed wire into the pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone.
They ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happiness
That we have come.
They bow shyly as wet swans. They love each other.
There is no loneliness like theirs.
At home once more,
They begin munching the young tufts of spring in the darkness.
I would like to hold the slenderer one in my arms,
For she has walked over to me
And nuzzled my left hand.
She is black and white,
Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”
She’s so, so radiant. I don’t know what else to say.
Like a comet
Blazing ‘cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
(sang by Michael Jackson)
Our beautiful Maddie….gone too soon but never, ever forgotten!
Sending you both my support, friendship. and .love…. today and always!!!

It is so hard to believe that she has been gone for 6 months… such a short time but a lifetime it feels like some days I am sure.
Hang onto each other tight as well as Miss Binky who is waiting patiently too to meet you!

Heather,
I fell asleep last night after thinking of the terrible burden you and Mike live with each and every day missing your beautiful little girl. There are no words to express my sadness for your loss. Maddie was a gift and she should have never been taken so soon. Big hugs to you all and continued best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!

Thinking of you always. Sending hugs and support form KY.
Time can take you away from the last time you held her, and it can blur the edges of your memory, but it can never take her out of your heart. You have her there forever. I know that you know this — I suppose I write it here to give myself a little comfort too. Thinking of you today.

I think of you, your mommy & daddy, and your soon to be little sister every day (usually more than that.) I still love you, miss you, and talk about you as if 6 months hadn’t gone by. And, I always will.

I love you forever. I’m sending long distance hugs today.
XOXOXOXO,

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone
W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
(goddamit you guys… i can’t believe it’s 6 months. constantly sending love your way. but dammit.)
.-= nic @mybottlesup´s last blog ..when shit hits the fan =-.
this sucks.
A good friend just learned that her baby will die shortly after birth. And then coming here, sometimes it is too much, you know?
And then I have to remember what a positive impact Maddie has and is making on the world, and I have to smile.
Sorry, always forget to leave my blog.

Like many people reading this blog, I do not know you or Mike or Maddie. However, if there ever came a chance the I could have one wish granted it would be to bring your beautiful Maddie back to this world so that you and Mike could hold her and kiss her and snuggle with her, and kiss her cheeks and hear her voice. I am so very sorry, Heather. It is not fair, this life you are living without your daughter.
I can only imagine how even one day further away can feel for you…..
I want you to know that Maddie passed on my Birthday…and I know…this coming year…and for many many years after…every birthday I have..will have a thought of maddie…and you and your family!…..

Another 7th.
I wish there was something I could write that would ease the ache in your hearts. But there’s just no words.
Except perhaps………..
BINKY!
Did that word make you smile, even just a half smile, maybe just a thought of a smile? for maybe a second or two? I hope.
I’m also hoping Binky kicks you extra today, just to distract you for a second every now and then …from the ache in your heart.
This is a beautiful photo of Maddie, by the way — just look at those two bottom teeth popping through! She’s just adorable.

I sit here staring at the keyboard, willing my fingers to find the “right” words. I’ve come to realize that there aren’t any “right” words. Just the kind that come from that heart and that’s where mine and everyones else who leaves a comment come from. I hate that this happened to you and mike, I hate that it’s been 6 months since you held that awesome, beautiful little girl in your arms, and I hate it that I can’t, that no one can, fix it and make it the way it should be.
Thinking and sending love to you guys always. *HUGS*

.-= Michelle Pixie´s last blog ..Move That Bus =-.
She may be half a year away, but she’s also right here. Every day, Maddie is here on this blog. She’s here in my thoughts. She’s here in your hearts. Every day she lives on a little bit because you honor her with devoted memories and unbounding love. The milestones make us feel so hollow, because we used to feel so full.
Heather and Mike, I wish you fullness. I wish you a life full of love and laughter and Binky. But until you’re ready for that fullness, I wish you peace and solace and the strength to keep getting out of bed each day.
Thinking of you and Mike and praying for you both always. I just wish I had some other magical words to tell you to help ease your pain. I’m praying today she will visit you in your dreams again! (((HUGS)))
It doesn’t seem possible that it was six months ago. Hugs to you and Mike.

Thinking of you and sending prayers for peace in your heart. I hope it is filled with happy memories of your darling angel.
I imagine that at one point you never thought you could make it to this day. But you did. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. Your Maddie needs you to continue to be resilient and to fight through the pain so you can be the amazing mommy that she loves so dearly to her new baby sister-to-be. Keep fighting through these milestones. They are so hard. But you CAN continue to be strong. You can. For Maddie and Binky and Mike and Rigby. You can do it, Heather.
As always, the grace that you exhibit, even through your grief, is an inspiration to all of us.
You sure blessed this world by making that miracle baby Madeline Alice! Just look at that face of hers. Pure joy and love! She was taken waaaay too soon. But those that knew her were so, so lucky.
Love to you today and always.

Can’t believe it’s been six months.
How appropriate that last night I had a dream of her. I have had two since her passing. One of them she wanted me to tell you that she still had the card you gave her(?) and last night in my dream, I was walking in from the outside and I was holding her on my hip. I looked down at her expecting to see my little girl, and it was Maddie. She flashed her megawatt grin and I smiled ear-to-ear and hugged her as tight as I could.
I know this day won’t be easy and I wish I was there to give you a BIG hug. Take care of yourself and little Binky.
I truly believe that Maddie visits us all. She has touched so many people’s lives and just continues to let us know that she is there and happy.
Much love to you today and everyday,

My heart is always with you, Mike, Rigby, and Binky. I think of you all and Maddie often. She is so missed by so many people. Sending love.
Thank you for sharing Maddie with so many of us who wouldn’t have otherwise met her. Her little foot prints are forever on my heart. I miss her too.
Blessings.
Her eyes are still the most beautiful that I have ever seen!
I always think of you guys and pray for you on the 7th of the month after April 2009. I don’t have much to say except I know that Maddie is alive in Heaven. She lives in Heaven now with God.
I know it is painful for you left on this earth. I ask that God would hold you all close to Him in His loving arms.
Always in my prayers, always.
never forgotten, always loved.
xoxo

No matter how many times I see maddie’s beautiful smile with her eyes that seem to light up with her smile I am always amazed at her eyes! I am sure you were stopped as often as we are with the twins by strangers commenting on your beautiful baby girl! I love those eyes and I love that smile!
Heather and Mike,
I wish I had words to ease your sadness. I don’t. I am just so sorry for your loss. I think of you often, I read your blog and I pray for your healing. You and Maddie are in all of our hearts and prayers…on this day…and every day.
I saw an Abby Cadabby doll in Wal Mart the other day and I thought of y’all and Maddie. She is an angel and is missed by thousands.
Maddie had the prettiest eye lashes. She is beautiful.

For you, your hubby, and the little baby
Look at that beautiful, stunning, radiant face. It’s not fair at all, and it shouldn’t be true. She is still alive in so many hearts, though.

I know there aren’t words that can help today, but know that there are so many people standing here sending up prayers and love for you guys.
i lost my first love to suicide one year ago, although i know it is nothing like losing a child, listening to this song helps calm my pain a little bit. My immortal, by evanescence.
It was like a punch in the stomach when I realized it’s been 6 months. I have been behind on reading but haven’t forgotten. I think about you so much, and how you are doing.

Thinking of you today. {{hugs}}
Maddie,
You are missed so much it hurts. I love you…
Love. Always love.

What a beautiful baby.
Gosh, I can’t believe its been six months, its seems like yesterday that I read here about gorgeous Maddie. But at the same time, its such a short time without her. So wish I could say something…anything…everything to make it better, to change the outcome. All I can do is smile when I see one of her famous smiles, cry when I read your gorgeous words, and remember….never ever to forget your gorgeous sweet Maddie.
Wish I could say something to make it all better…love sent across the ocean.
