October

October stinks.
It was six years ago this month that we lost our daughter Maddie P.
Every year since then the regular stresses of life take on extra power during October.
Maddie was born with an AV malformation in her brain. She stayed in the NICU at Woman's Hospital for eight days until we had to choose to remove her from life support, She was not going to recover. Maddie was our second child. We have had two more since. We try to keep Maddie's memory alive in our oldest daughter's life, as well as make her a part of her younger sister's lives.
We talk about her and celebrate her birthday every year. This Sunday we will spend another Maddie Day remembering our little one who now resides with Jesus.

We miss you Maddie P.
We can't wait to see you again.
