Maddie

This morning we had cake for breakfast.  Chocolate cake with purpley pink frosting.  In honor of Maddie, and her second birthday.

Lovely.  Always.

This amazing post always make me smile. I will hum this song all day.

In honor of Maddie, on her birthday, please consider donating to Friends of Maddie, a charity started in her name, to support families of critically ill children in the NICU.

Thanks for this. You have a nice way of saying just-enough-but-not-too-much. I recently read about Maddie for the first time, and today I went home and tearfully rocked my baby for a long long long long time. ::Hugs::

Thank you for the comment. It is not my story to tell, but I am happy to spread the word about it, so that people can hear Heather’s words.

She is an amazing girl.
