A Birthday Tribute to an Angel Mommy




This beautiful baby girl died from SIDS earlier this year. Today is her mother's birthday. You can find her blog at www.kandjstaats.blogspot.com

Shocking right? Makes you question God and his reasons for certain things. I cannot even imagine such a loss. Maddie's mom (Kellie) said that all she wanted for her birthday, besides Maddie back of course, would be to have people remember her beautiful girl. She asked that we post a picture of Maddie on our blogs. And I am happy to do that...

Happy Birthday, Kellie. I know most of the "happy" was taken away with Maddie, but I just want you to know I admire your strength and your will to continue to live your life. Maddie is most definitely looking down on her mama today with love...

These lyrics from this song make me think of you and Maddie...

"Lord, make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother. She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors."

I'm crying...that's so unfair. My heart breaks for this woman :(
I fear sids every single day...it's just so sad and I hope that one day soon more will be understood about it.

Things like this just make me so sad. :( We just never know what can happen and have to treasure every day.

It hurts. It will hurt forever, but thank you for remembering our Maddiebug.
