after hearing, this morning, of a mommy and a daddy that lost her little daughter. maddie. a seventeen month old beautiful little girl ... with a smile that could keep the sun shining.

perspective. it really just throws everything into perspective.
and there are really no other words that i can offer them, except ...
i'm sorry.
i'm sending the family peace across the miles. and support. because that's something that i (and we) can do.
her family has asked that donations be made to the march of dimes in her name. i have seen the donation number rise several thousand dollars this morning. it's amazing what we can do ... together.
keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. please.
about me
- jen
- i am the mommy of two little sunny girls and a delicious new baby boy. i am the wife to a fantastic husband. i am the head keeper to a zoo of pets. i help kids to talk - as my oldest describes my job ... but (not so secretly) wish to stay at home with my girly-girls. i love to craft and be creative ... but often don't have the time (or energy). i love to cook and bake ... but we often sacrifice extravagent meals for easy ones. i love that i'm finally living the dream of being a professional photographer ... but i'm always learning and trying new things. i want my girly-girls to grow up and be amazing human beings ... but, for now, all i know is that they amaze ME daily. oh yeah ... and i hate to type in capital letters. unless it is for emphasis. THEN i capitalize the ENTIRE word ... just thought you'd like to know. my shift key ISN'T broken.

omg, this is awful news! thanks for sharing! So heartbreaking!!
This news keeps breaking my heart today.
I just don't understand. So many people have lost their children. It could really be any one of us at any time. Trying to live in the moment as much as possible because there's never a promise of tomorrow or a do-over. Thanks for sharing. Breaks my heart.
Much love from NJ,

I've seen Madeline's name around the blogosphere today and I can't get her story out of my mind. You're right, it puts everything into perspective.
I read about Maddie on Twitter while doing my morning work out and I broke down. All day I would think about Heather and Mike and what the world was missing out on.
What also find amazing is how the blogging community came together for this family. It is amazing!
Do Heather and Mike havea blog? The blog here is for a mom of 2 boys. How did she die? This is just so sad!
hey kelly!
i sent you an email ... with answers to all of your questions ... i think ...
to your aol email. hope that's ok! it was much to long for another comment!
I was just sick about this all day. I've watched her story unfold since last year and I'm shocked and sadened by her passing. My heart just breaks for the Spohrs. I couldn't even imagine.
As an aside...I'd love to see you if you do make it out here! You're visiting your friend I assume? I am excited to meet you!!!!!
