I know everyone must say, " I cannot imagine losing a child " but I really connot. Reading your blog brings me as close to losing a child as I ever want to be. You have such a way with words and expressing yourself. Your blogs are a gift to so many. I hope this doesn't sound empty but your Maddie does know that daddy misses her and loves her more than anything. Please know how often I pray for you and your family. You are never alone.

Please know how often I pray for you and your family.

You guys are simply the best, and even before I had the chance to meet you and revel in your friendliness, I thought of you and Heather often and I'll continue to for as long as I can. Hope to see you around Los Angeles sometime soon. It's not like it's a big city or anything.
