This morning I was proud to march (and stroll) with my 2 boys in my town’s local March of Dimes walk. It was 3 of the most fullfilling miles of my life. The internet “Mommy Bloggers” raised over 50,000$, yes thats not a typo, for the March of Dimes since April 7th and the heartbreaking death of Madeline Spohr.

Maddie was a preemie, born way to soon and had a short 17 month life filled with Dr’s appointments and hospitals. She also had a life of smiles, laughs, the most beautiful eyes and eyelashes and an impact on the world.

While I don’t personally know this family, my heart aches for them and I was more than happy, with tears streaming down my face, to walk in their daughters name this morning.

Read the story of beautiful Maddie over at Heather’s blog. Then when your done, love on your own little ones a bit longer.
