Thank you for sharing the beautiful life of little Madeline Alice with us and not being afraid to speak of something so sad and heartwrenching. I ache for her parents and their loss and the loss of such of young spirit. There are no words.

As the mother of a preemie they are living my absolute worse nightmare which is so real for all of us who experience it.

I pray that they find peace.

I’m with Amelia. You and Simone were the first people I thought of when I heard about little Maddie. My heart just shattered for her family, and then it took me a few days to get up the nerve to come here because I knew whatever post you had would probably make me cry.

The second people I thought of were http://casadekaloi.blogspot.com. The fact that their son, premature though he may be, is fighting and improving every day really put a smile on my face.

My prayers go out to the Spohrs.

I know how tenderhearted you are, Alexa. Maddie’s picture as Baby of The Week is a touching tribute.
Hug Simone for me, OK?

I hadn’t known of Maddie or her family before this week, but her story has haunted me. My heart is aching for her parents, and for everyone who knew and loved her.

I’ve been hugging my kids tighter this week.

Alexa, I read your blog regularly, but rarely comment. I didn’t know any of them, Heather, Mike or Maddie, but I have been unable to stop crying since I read the tweets about Maddie’s passing. As the mom of a 10 mo old, it’s all to easy to imagine myself in that position. I, too, hug my girl tighter and am grateful for every single day I have with her. So heartbreaking that Heather’s time with Maddie was so short.

Making Maddie baby of the week was so touching. Like everyone else, it brought fresh tears.
