I knew Heather Spohr of The Spohrs are Multiplying from her hilarious tweets as mamaspohr on Twitter.
I knew that her daughter had been born premature and that Heather was raising money for the March of Dimes, but I didn't realize that Maddie's health was in such danger until I saw Heather's increasingly worrying tweets as Maddie went to the hospital yesterday with breathing difficulties.
Madeline Alice Spohr died yesterday at 17 months. Details are here, thanks to A Mom Two Boys.
I spent a long time last night looking at photos of Maddie on flickr. There are literally thousands, from Maddie's first tentative moments of life until her last day.
There is no question that this was a child who was loved, and loved so well. Her life was short but the imprint she made on the hearts of those who loved her was large and will last forever.
Bless you, sweet girl. Sleep in peace.

purple stapler is a lovely tribute.
I don't read Heather's blog, but I must have looked at it before because I recognize Maddie. The number of posts about her linked on A Mom Two Boys is amazing. I hope it can bring her parents some comfort.
Oh, my. I didn't know her or the blog, but what a sweet picture, and how very very sad.
