for Maddie
There is something about this blog community that makes us feel like we really know each other. Even though I’ve never met Heather in person I feel like I’ve known her for some time, especially since we’ve both been Blog Nosh editors.
I also felt like I knew her sweet 17 month old daughter Maddie with the blonde curls and big blue eyes and beautiful smile. You couldn’t see a photo of her without loving her and I’ve always looked forward to reading Heather’s posts about her.
Maddie passed away at the hospital last night. This is unfathomable to me. 17 months old.
Heather has asked that in lieu of other gifts or flowers that a donation be made to the March of Dimes in Maddie’s name.
Heather’s site The Spohrs are Multiplying is still down from all the many new vistors but her wonderful friends are working to get it back up. In the meantime you can find updates at A Mom Two Boys.
Maddie, you will be missed. Heather and Mike, words cannot express how sad I am for you.
