I can’t tell you how many times in the last 6 years I have had very similar fantasies.

Oh God Mike, she’s so beautiful. My middle guy LOVES to see Maddie’s picture, and (usually when I’m on Heather’s site) he asks to see Baby Maddie smile. AMAZING smile.

She’s like some amazing little pixie.

Oh, how my heart aches for you. But after reading your (and Heather’s) blog for a while now, I know that Maddie got a lifetime worth of kisses from you within those 18 months.

Mkie – like one person already mentioned – I too read your blog and Heather’s blog religiously yet I rarely comment because words fail me. I just don’t know what to say and my heart aches for you guys. I wish you could have that minute – you would make the absolute most of it – just like you did with every minute when she was with you.

One minute is all anyone needs for one more long hug and kiss.

Hi Mike,

I visit Heather’s blog daily, wrapping my virtual arms around her, while desperately trying to shelter her from the profound pain she feels….lives with, every day. Today, I do the same for you. Your writings are so raw, honest, TRUE. I am a stranger friend. One who never had the honour, gift to know, hold, love Maddie in person. I can however, tell you with all that I have with every picture and video I see and with every word I read of your and Heather’s blog. I fall more in love with Maddie each day and I am so sad I will never get to meet her.

I wish so badly I had the power to give you back your Maddie….even just for that one minute you so long for. I so often cry for you and Heather both as I watch from a not so far distance you both struggle just to simply survive in the world without your little girl. Sometimes life is so NOT fair! I know it’s hard and Mike, I am so very sorry.

You are a wonderful daddy. Maddie is so lucky to have you in her life. I think and pray for you, Heather and Maddie every day and like I told Heather, if you ever need a friend…one just to listen to you….I will be there.

Take Care Mike and for what it’s worth….please know, you are NOT alone!!
My Best,
Your Stranger Friend from Canada,
Jenn
