Maddie Spohr

I met Heather online through her blog and from the very first moment her beautiful baby girl stole my heart.  She of the huge eyes and wide smile. The laughs Heather and I shared over Maddie and Peyton was the beginning of a special friendship.

Maddie.

My heart shatters into a million pieces to know that the world has lost Madeline Alice Spohr.

The world is an emptier place for it.

If you’d like to honor this beautiful child, please donate through Heather’s site to the March of Dimes.

All my prayers and love to Heather and Mike Spohr.

    Looking at that beautiful baby’s photos and reading her story is also breaking my heart. The world is so unfair sometimes.

    How did this happen? It doesn’t seem real. I just can’t believe that beautiful little girl is no longer with us.

    Their website is overwhelmed, so I have added a link on my page. I hope it’s okay that I borrow your picture of Maddie. I am pointing readers to BHJ’s page for donations.

    Anissa,
    This news has just crushed me. I have twittered to you and heather a few times ( the girl talking about the free ribs at Ikea). I could hardly say I was close to Heather, but I heart so desperately wants to be there with them. Are you going to try to go to the memorial service once its planned? Would you want to share a hotel room with a girl you’ve never from Austin but who shared your love of a sweet angel named Maddie????? You can email me at maggieda(at)mac(dot)com

    Oh, this breaks my heart! I used to read Mike’s blog (when he blogged) and always used to comment about how adorable Maddie was and her eyes… oh my gosh those eyes.

    My heart goes out to them.

    I found their blog through your site which I have been reading for a while. I was captivated by Maddie’s adorable eyes. I just found out about the news tonight and it is very sad and heartbreaking. Life is not fair.
