I wanted to stop by to let you know I am thinking about you. I am sorry I missed visiting your page on Maddie's 2nd Angelversary. It is such a difficult time for the families on these days but I was happy to hear that you had a special visit from a "flutterer" that day. Special signs like that sure do help you get through a difficult day!!
Keep well

Hello, This is the first time that I have been to your website. It is such a beautiful page to go along with such a beautiful little Maddie. I am sorry for the loss of your daughter. I know the pain of losing one myself. So my thoughts and prayers are with you. I cried when reading all the beautiful things that her daddy had to say.

I thought of you all day yesterday and what beautiful memories you left for your family to cherish for years to come. I just read the journal post from the day your innocent and beautiful body was laid to rest and I cried so many tears for you and your family. Maddie, I had to stop and realize then that you were not there though, your soul had already flown to heaven and you were so free, so free from all that you endured here on earth. You were already playing and running and "SMILING", smiling because you then knew no pain or suffering. I want to thank you Maddie for changing and helping all the lives of the other little babies born in Kentucky as you have done. You were placed on this earth for the best of reasons, to help your fellow man and show love along the way as you did. You were so obviously placed into the right families that showed you only love and compassion for everyday of your life and I thank them for that.

Jason and Amy,

Thank you for sharing Maddie with all of us. Katelyn and I send our love and prayers to you today. God Bless You Both...

After two years our little girls have probably not scratched the surface of all the fun things to do in Heaven. We read about streets of gold and gates of pearl because those are the most beautiful materials our earthly minds can comprehend. For the children we picture giant swimming pools and roller coasters, but the games they are playing are probably beyond our imagination right now. What we do know is that they never get tired or hot or cold, never fall and hurt themselves, never miss an activity because of sickness.

Maddie,

I know that you never knew me while you graced this earth sweetie but I did not need to personally know you to know that you were born an angel and passed from this earth an angel when the Lord called you back home to be with Him on those golden streets of heaven. I have had you on my mind all day long and waited to come and leave a message when I had everything in my mind that I wanted to say to you. First of all I wish you a wonderful and glorious "Happy Heavenly Birthday" sweetie and I know that Daddy must have felt you close to him today as your way of letting him know that you are doing just wonderful free from the disease that took you from him way too early. I can just vision you being the little girl free to play and run and have so much fun with your little angel friends, doing all the silly and sweet things that Daddy longed for you to be able to do while you were with him. I know that it must bring an enormous smile to his face when he thinks about you being so happy now that you suffer no more. I also want you to know that my little Katelyn will most probably be joining you soon and I wish that you would be at heaven's gates waiting on her and taking her hand as she enters so she won't be scared. She is living the same life that you lived while here and I know that you could teach her to run and play and pick the beautiful flowers that she can not see anymore. I am so glad that I found you and got to know you through the journal posts that Daddy has given us of you. Again, "Happy Birthday Maddie" and thank You Lord for giving Maddie to Jason to love if only for a short period in time. Thinking of you today Jason and letting you know that sweet Maddie has been on my heart all day!

I love you and we have never met but I know you are surely one of Molly's guardian angels looking down on her daily or even all of us to help us cope day to day.

Although I have visited Maddie's site many times this is my visit entry. I often just want to sneak a peek of the beautiful Maddie. I am pretty sure my Angel Daffs must be best friends with her in heaven, playing and singing in heaven's gardens. What a friendship that is...

Thank you for dropping by Daffs site so often and your warms words of encouragement. It means so much.

Hi, Maddie!

You got to Heaven just in time to help Mamie welcome her great grandmother, for whom she was named. Little Mamie had only been there four months herself.

I'll bet you've exchanged stories of your trips to Disney World. She has probably told you about sitting in the second row when Disney on Ice was in town. Of course, none of that can compare with the wonderful things you can do every day now.

I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia Nicole a while back and visit her guestbook often, which is how I happened upon you and your precious Maddie Angel. The love and concern you have shown Olivia and her family is a true gift, and your heart is made of gold. The world would be such a wonderful place if there were more people like you in it. Your love and dedication to Maddie is why God sent her to you, as He only sends his special angels to the Very Best!! And you are correct, Maddie and Olivia really do look alike! Thank you for giving me the pleasure of "meeting" your beautiful daughter. She will forever have a special place in my heart. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you feel, and I am so very sorry for you. God Bless all of you for working so hard to pass the law. What a tribute to Maddie. Kudos!

Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

Thank you so much for signing Molly's guestbook. I read Maddie's story recently in the UK newsletter. Thank you Jason for the work that you are doing. I also take every opportunity to spread the word about genetic screening. Molly has been in the news several times in hopes to inform someone of the terrible diseases that can affect our children. Maddie is such a beautiful angel. Our children have a purpose and if one child can be saved from the effort we make it will be worth it all.

Jason and Amy,

Thank you so much for the love and concern you show Katelyn on a regular basis. I am so blessed that you shared the story with me of the "Brave Little Soul" and so many others were able to be blessed by it also. Our little ones are certainly in that category of "Brave Souls". Your Maddie was already won her "Glory" Jason and I know that she is waiting to hold Katelyn's hand when her time comes to win hers. What a wonderful time they will have playing and smiling together in heaven. All the things they were never able to do on earth like pick a flower or comb their beautiful hair, they can share up there with each other. Sending mine and Katelyn's love to you both.

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.


I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

Only Gay (well you too of coarse) could write a beautiful book about Maddie and her wonderful gifts she gave all of us :) I read on Steph's site how your calander is still on Aug 2005, I don't blame you I don't think I would ever change it either, I can't imagine it gets easier, but I hope and pray that soon you are only flooded with beauitful joyous moments with your beautiful girl.

I have been thinking about you, your mom, Taylor and of coarse Angel Maddie all weekend. This is the 3rd time I have tried to post...caringbridge does not want me to leave messages for you :(
How beautiful that your mom wrote a book about Maddie, I can not wait to read it, I know it will be full of LOVE and inspiration, everyone that Maddie was able to touch feels those things daily.
Heaven gained a beautiful Angel one year ago, an Angel that I was blessed to have met. Beautiful brown eyed Maddie, you forever changed my life.
Laura, you are such an inspiration to me, you are the most amazing mommy. The love you show Maddie is so beautiful, the way you cared for her while she was here, with a tender hand and a great spirit....reading your journal this morning had me crying tears of joy for the beautiful life you gave Maddie and sadness for the heartache you are suffering.

Sending kisses heavenward to beautiful Maddie,

Hey Laura,
Glad to see you are still going strong with school.It's good to stay busy.I have been thinking of you and hope you had a good Mother's Day. Mine was a busy day did not feel much like a special day for me. I'm sure Maddie and Taylor showered you with love...
I'm glad to see you are being supportive to another family in need. It's so hard to understand how you can think your child is perfectly healthy and then one day see a change and find out something is wrong. Laura, Maddie made you strong and its great that you can do good for others.
Tell Taylor hi and if he comes to Atlanta let us know the Boys would love to see him.

Dearest Laura,

My note to you is long overdue. I am so sorry for not taking the time before now. You are phenomenal!! Gosh, my heart flutters every time I see a photo of your most beautiful angel Maddie. Oh Laura, Maddie was the most beautiful girl, she truly was and is. I have something small that I have been meaning to send to you for so long, I'm sorry it's taken me so long. It should make it your way shortly.

Laura, you are truly inspirational, and I will forever be in awe of all that you were with your sweet Maddie and all that you continue to be. There will never be a kinder, gentler or more loving nurse, just as you are such a special mom. I admire your courage and dreams more than you will ever know.

You are in my thoughts more than I show and you and Maddie touched my heart profoundly. I honestly believe that there is nothing in this world more special than a mother-daughter bond. Absolutely nothing compares. Bless your heart for sharing your bond with the world. We are all better people because of it. I feel your loss, your pain, your ache, your heart. Nothing or no one can ever fill the part of our hearts that has been touched by Heaven's sweetest of angels.

Speaking of angels, oh Laura, Maddie's headstone is breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing. Maddie must be so unbelievably proud of her mommy. Without a doubt. Keep loving, sharing, inspiring and living the dream that was created between you and your sweet brown-eyed girl.

Thinking of you and sending kisses upon kisses to Maddie's angelic face xxxxxxxxx

Love,
Lisa (angel Chloe & Scarlett's mom)

Laura,
It saddens me to know the pain you feel each day. We have been good friends for a long time and you know if you ever need me to talk to I;m always here anytime. I will never forget maddie big brown eyes. She is playing so hard and giggling in the heavens above. I know she shadows your every movement because she know how much you love her.
Never forget that you are truely blessed you have a beautiful , active son and you had 4 beautiful years with Maddie thats more years then most. Maddie taught us more in those short years. She showed us Love, Beauty, Strength, Passion,Kindness. She has left us with loads of loving memories.
I'm so proud of you and your schooling. Keep fighting for your dreams you have a good teacher(Maddie). Hold your head up she would want you to be happy. we love you and miss you dearly.

Dear Laura,
Today I was thinking about Maddie and I have been reading through your journal. You are such an amazing woman. I don't have to ask you how you're doing, because I know al too well. This coming Saturday it will be 21 years ago that my little princess became an Angel, and yes, I still miss her.
Laura, Maddie was so incredibly lucky to have you as her mommy. Both of you were so blessed to have each other.
I just love the headstone - it is so beautiful!
Please know that there are people out there who know your pain and are still thinking about you and praying for you.
Big hugs for you and your beautiful Taylor,

Hey Laura,
The Headstone is so beautiful. I know you are having a hard time not being with your precious angle. Maddie touched all our lives. I look at my lauren and I can't even amagin all that you went through. Lauren is 9 months know and I look at her and know that special love that a daughter gives you. Their is not a day that does not go by that I don't think of Maddie and I pray for the family. Austin ask of you guys often. I'm going to see about Lauren being Christened in Feb. You remember my pastor that christened Austin and Parker well his 15 year old son has been battling cancer. He is the only one I want to do the service he is also the one that married bubba and I.Well I tried to e-mail you but it came back I must have the address wrong. Can you e-mail me so I can put in the address book. Your mom wrote a beautiful letter to Maddie it tore at my heart. Thank her for sharing it with us.
Hope to talk to you soon . We miss you dearly.

Dear Laura and Gay, I just viewed Maddie's stained glass and it is so beautiful. You are actually in Atlanta now, and I can't wait to see you tomorrow.I know how difficult this season must be, but I found comfort in the poem recently entered in Maddie's journal. I wish Angel Maddie was still here, but I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is with the angels now and with the Lord, Our God. There is no better place. I love you, Joy

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven’s stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear,
For I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music don’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
From the heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory,
Of my undying love.
After all “Love” is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my heavenly father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings of love,
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear,
Remember, I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

Laura, I was checking in on you (as I do every few days). You are truly and inspiration to me. Sometimes I take my kids for granted and get mad (as most moms do) at the littlest things. You inspire me to be a better, more patient mother. I thank you for that. My Taylor looks at the pictures for your Taylor when we sign on together. She has been following your journey with me. I am hoping to get to KY sometime this month or next and I hope to see you. You are always in our prayers. Say "HI" to your mom!

Laura, your purpose in life is to be the best mother you can be, the best daughter you can be, and the best friend you can be. You are all those things. And you are definitely going to be an amazing nurse. I hope you know how many people love you! Maddie gave you so many special gifts. Your purpose is to also carry on her memory.

Dear Laura
You have a great purpose in life. When you become a nurse you can help in the childrens ward and be the kind of nurse with feelings. You will know how to take care of little children, and you will have alot of compassion. This will be something that you can share with moms and dads that are going through tuff times. It will be your gentleness and care that will get them through.I pray for you everyday. I always pray that Maddie is getting you through the worst of times. I know it is a sturggle from day to day. You have Taylor who will keep you busy, many friends who you can call on. Keep your friends close.
God Bless you and Taylor

Dear Laura, Taylor, and Gay, I'm so very sorry that I haven't been in contact with you- I honestly think of you all every single day and how strong you all are. Laura, your strengh is truely amazing. To be with you at Maddie's funeral and to see you with Maddie and what unbelievable attention and care and love you gave to Maddie (and Taylor as well)- I can honestly say I have never ever seen another parent take better care of their child, not just physically, but emotionaly, more than you did with Maddie. I was absolutely blown away by the amount of love you have for Maddie and Taylor. I know that Maddie is watching over all of you-and having a blast with all of her new friends, free of any restrictions that she had here on earth. Laura, I feel blessed and honered to have you for a friend, and I want you to know that even when I forget to call you or send pictures, I am ALWAYS thinking of you! Love, Marsie Moo

Laura,
The picture of you holding Maddie is so awesome!!! It captures all the love that you have for one another. Maddie is so loved. I can just hear her in heaven thanking God for giving her such a wonderful family that loves her so dearly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You were blessed to have Maddie and she was blessed to have you. Maddie will never be forgotten and I have a story that proves this true. Tonight,in church, I met a mother that lost her child over a year ago. I know you're wondering why I was talking in church. We were actually sitting in the cry room together and she asked me Logan's age. We started talking and she shared that her son died. She had tears in her eyes as she was talking about him. I told her how sorry I was about her loss. I began to tell her about Maddie and that she had Krabbes. The mother automatically said,"a leukodystrophy." I said," How did you know, because most people have never heard of this?" She said that her son died because he had a type of leukodystrophy, but they were never able to determine which type. She said that her son was very healthy until around 19 months. He never was on any antibiotics until the week he died. I could tell that she was so sad because she never really understood his illness because his death was so sudden. She was so interested in hearing Maddie's story. I was so proud to talk about Maddie because she was such a wonderful and special little girl. The more I talked about Maddie and the signing of the bill, the lady started to realize that she new of this little girl and her family. Laura, I couln't wait to tell you that even someone in Raywick, knows of Maddie and had seen her on TV. Maddie will always be loved and remembered. She is a precious little angel. We love all of you very much and pray for you daily. I hope to see you soon and I will call you tomorrow when I get home from Mom and Dad's.

P.S. Tell your mom that her dad will have to continue the puppet shows in heaven.
Love always,

Laura,

I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you, and praying for you every day during this most difficult of times.

I know Maddie fought that disease every minute of every day, because she loved you so very much. She wanted to spend as much time with you as possible here on Earth. She knew you felt the same, because everyone could see the love pour out of you when caring for Maddie. That kind of love is hard to miss.

Your daughter has touched many lives, including ours. We feel honored in saying that we knew her.

Please remember that we are here for you, Gay, Taylor, and the rest of the family. If there is anything at all that we can do, don't hesitate to ask.

Love and Prayers,
Brenn, Norma, Emi, Hayden, and Abi Santos

This is the first time I have been to Maddies page. What you have written here is so touching, God most certainly gave YOU Maddie, I cannot even think of a word to describe how I felt reading the way in which you cared for her.
I'm so sorry. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. How Blessed Maddie was to have you as her,Mom, and you will always be Maddie's Mom. How Blessed you and so many are to have been touched by her. Her spirit will live on in all those she touched, forever.
Peace, Love, and Prayers

HOPE

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

I think of her when I do on line counseling for crisis pregnancies and have even spoken of her to women contemplating an abortion and how she enriched your life so much. Maddie showed so much life in her beautiful eyes and I can honestly say she did more good in this world in four years than most of us do in a longer lifetime. May God bless you. I came to your website after reading your touching entry this week. Love, Cynthia

I am heartbroken as I read Maddie’s journal and learn that she is now with Jesus. As I sit here signing Maddie’s guestbook and tears roll downs my eyes I can only hope that you are able to find some kind of peace in knowing that she is no longer suffering from Krabbe disease and is able to play with all of her friends and grandpa in heaven. Hug her, kiss her and hold her as much as you can but also remember that although it seems as though you are saying goodbye forever, Maddie will be waiting to welcome you home. I am sending you and your family all my love and prayers at this time. God Bless

Know that every time your eye twitches or nose itches she is giving you "butterfly" kisses!
With much love and many prayers.....

Dearest Family of Maddie, I sobbed while I read your entry documenting Maddie's passing. What a wonderful thing, that you got to hold her during her last breaths and eye movements on this earth! I understand the shock and pain of losing a child, Michael has been gone from my prescence for 2 months now and I would give anything for one more moment alone with him, actually in my arms. There is no way to prepare for it even if hospice had been involved for 100 years, it would not have mattered. You were a loving, wonderful mom, and you did everything exactly perfect during those last few moments. I will pray for peace to come to you, I have had a few moments of peace and it is worth everything. Thank you for loving and creating and holding Maddie all that time. Love, your sister, Merrilee Town..http://home.earthlink.net/~michaeltown/

Dear Laura,

I have shed a hundred tears for you today and now having finally gotten through reading your last moments with Maddie my heart is truly breaking for you. Beautiful Laura, you did absolutely nothing wrong, you did everything you needed to do to save your precious Maddie's life. I'm sure that we can all look back on those last moments and think how we could have done them differently...that maybe...just maybe if we'd done things differently that our angels would still be here in our arms...oh if only. Dearest Laura you loved your little girl more than any mom could ever love their daughter. You were and always will be a remarkable and amazing mom. Just looking at your gorgeous girl and hearing about the journey of Maddie's life, we could feel the life and LOVE that filled your hearts and your home.

Bless you always sweetheart for loving and sharing your angel with us. Maddie was truly the most beautiful little girl and I feel blessed to have met her a few years ago. I will never forget her gorgeous brown eyes and petal-pink cheeks. Bless you and your mom for showing the world the true strength and love that a woman is capable of.

We'll be thinking of you as you remember sweet Madison. Wish we could be there...please know we are with you in spirit and in love.

Sending kisses upon kisses to angel Maddie's heavenly face xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dear Maddie, I hope you have met our little angel Chloe and that you have become forever friends. Kisses to all our beautiful angels xxxxxxxxx How beautiful the Heavens have become.

With so much love today and always,
Lisa & Frank (angel Chloe's mom & dad)

Laura and Jason I found this poem and It touched me and I wanted to share it with you.
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above.
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaphs God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud before it can groe old.
God knows how much we need them,and so He takes but a few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must relize God loves Children,
Angels are hard to find.

Maddie is our little angle that everyone loves. She touched us all in so many ways.

All Our Love, Shannon and Bubba

Laura,

Sweetie, I love you and have always thought and still do think you are the bestest mommy in the entire world.....I can not imagine going through all the stuff you have during the past three years, and you did so with grace and dignity...you were the strong one that held Taylor and Maddie together.
You know if you ever need anything you can call.....I don't know whaty to say to you, I wish I could just take away all of your pain.....you are a beautiful woman and I am honored that I am able to have you as my friend and that I got the wonderful pleasure of cuddling and holding Maddie :)

Love,
Amanda

Oh Laura, my heart just breaks to read that posting, it reminds me very much of my own last posting on that difficult night. It brought back many memories of Eden. The only thing I can say to you is...I too had regret about certain things. Eden had run out of O2 that Halloween night while we were trick or treating and visiting my grandparents. We had forgotten the extra tank in the car and I hadn't noticed Eden had run out. I felt like that night would never have happened if we hadn't had to run downstairs and then hook it up. She never recovered from that. But almost 3 years later, I knew that it was God's plan to take her home that night. No matter what I did or didn't do, did not make any difference to him, he was taking her. You were and still are an awesome mommy. Maddie new that. You always treated her normal and did stuff with her, those are moments you will always have. 4 years of memories, I only have 11 months of them, but I remember them all and so will you. These next few weeks will be a blur, your heart will hurt like never before and your arms will feel very empty. It takes a long time to not feel guilty going shopping and not having to worry about being home soon because what if something happened while you were gone. I know that's what I worried about a lot. Please take comfort right now in your memories, pictures, video and your family and friends that don't quite know what to say or how you feel. Some people may also say very hurtful dumb things not really meaning to, but they don't know what else to say...

Please know I'm here if you ever want to talk 207 286 2989 and all of us in the Krabbe family are here to support you through this difficult time.

May God be with you now Laura, Jason and family....

Oh dear Laura, I wish I could take your pain away, but there is nothing I could do or say that will make it easier for you right now. I remember all too well how devastating it is, even though it is more than 20 years ago that we lost our little princess.
Maddie was so loved, and you were the best mommy she could have wished for.
Please know that we are praying for you all and that you are not alone in this.
Sending lots of strength your way, and many many big hugs.

Now let that courage and strength lead you through this most unbearable time. No words can make it better, but knowing Mattie will ALWAYS be with you as your guardian angle will get you through. Kiss Taylor and Gaye for me and let them know that you are all on my heart. I am just a phone call away if you need me.

When I opened the site, there was a picture of Maddie with long black hair and a red hooded cloak on. I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful face. I returned many times over the past two and a half years just to see her face. Thank you, Laura for sharing your beautiful little girl with us.
I know there are no words that could ease your pain, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.
Dance like the princess you are, sweet Maddie!

Dear Laura,

It has been way toooooo long since I've written or chatted with you. Just no excuses...I still think about your beautiful Maddie all the time. Maddie is one of the strongest, most beautiful little souls I've been blessed to meet. Whenever I need to smile I just come by to see her beautiful face :) Truly beautiful! I hope that the winters in your area aren't too cold for Miss Maddie. We just got our first sprinkling of snow in the hills and it is ohh soo cold. Brrrrrr! A great cuddle up in bed day. You are an amazing woman Laura, the love and the grace you share with your children is inspiring and I am so happy I was able to meet you and your beautiful kids.

I will try to do a better job of keeping in touch. I look forward to seeing new holiday pics of you guys.

Have a fabulous day and I hope to talk to you sometime during the holidays.

Loves and cuddles for the kids xoxoxoxoxox

Much LOVE,

A: Winnie the Pooh!



Q: Why do bears have fur coats?

These pictures are absolutely stunning. Maddie is so beautiful! I am one of the lucky ones who got to see her in person. I am really jealous, though, you still haven't made it to Northern Kentucky to go out with Gina, but you made it over to Louisville to see Taylor!!! Don't get mad, Daniella, I know she likes you better!! So, you are thinking of going to Kings Island. I do believe you will be passing right by my house when you go there, too!!
Hugs, love, and Hope

Hey Laura,

As always your entries make me smile, giggle and cry...I am soooo happy to hear that your father-in-law gave you such a wonderful gift, a gift that will be with you always. It was wonderful chatting with you, it does my heart good to hear that Maddie is doing well and is so very loved. You make me smile :) We too will pray and wish that Maddie has many more moments to share with you...oh what I wouldn't give to be able to snuggle with your precious girl...if only there weren't so many miles between us...

Just know that you are always in our thoughts and we feel blessed to know you.

Kisses for Maddie and big brother Taylor too!

ps. good luck with the "Laura Ashley" dress hunt, I can't wait to see pictures :)

Love,
Lisa (angel Chloe's mommy)

Well I just popped over to see if there was anything new going on and there was a new update!!! So glad to hear things are going well. Miss Madison is definitly a trooper. Happy Belated Birthday to Taylor, we hope it was a special day. I certainly understand your worry about germs and stuff, ask anyone around me, I was officially the germ queen:-) I walked around sanitizing everything all day and clorox wiping all her baby furniture and everything everyone touched! I also carried around hand sanitizer for people to use if they wanted to touch her. I was awful. So I can definitly relate there! I think it's normal though Laura, so don't worry.

Well anyway, we think of all of you often. I hope things only continue to go well.

PS, do you have email yet?
Love always,

Hi,
I was just checking on Maddie. She is absolutely beautiful!! Both of your children are beautiful. I love your pictures. I can relate to your fear of germs from school, we are letting our daughter go to pre school for the first time. We are a little worried about her bringing things home to our son Ryan.We hope that your son is enjoying himself at school. We are glad to hear that Maddie is doing well. We will continue to keep her in our prayers. Also, we will pray that your mother's surgery on her elbow goes well.God BLess

Our friendship as grown, I know i haven't been there much the past few months but my heart and prayers are always with you. Thank you for always being there.

Bless you Laura, bless you Maddie and bless you Taylor. It makes me happy to see someone cherish their family with their whole heart the way you do. You truly are an inspiration Laura. And thank you so much for the lovely card that came in the mail today. You are very sweet and I too am thankful for having found such a wonderful friend.

Laura,

You and your family are in the Roper families prayer. It seems like only yesterday you and I were sitting in class at Reinhardt and Kennesaw College studying. I never thought that we would be separated by so many miles. You will always be in my mind. Life is so precious and should never be taken for granted. As I've told you before, you will always be my friend and if I can be of any assistance please let me know.

Dear Laura, Your latest entry regardng a mother's intuition touched me deeply. I remember so well the enormous heartbreaks you have endured over the past year. And like they say, those things we endure that don't kill us serve to make us stronger. You are indeed living proof of that. As I've said previously, you are an inspiration. With all the adversity you have faced you manage to stay upbeat and positive. You are an amazing person who shows such love for dear Maddie, and at the same time with your heart breaking daily you manage to be a terrific Mom to Taylor. I can remember as all Moms can, times when I had some real scares concerning Leigh and Christine. I know that feeling of helplessness and worry. And to think that you deal with Maddie's condition day in and day out and still manage to persevere is so amazing. It proves how strong you really are. God must be so pleased. You are thought of daily and with such admiration. Thank you for being who you are. Maddie feels your love. You've given more to her than some Moms do in a lifetime. I love you, Joy

It sounds like so many of your friends and family will be able to share this beautiful occasion with you, I'll be thinking of you extra-special A LOT that day, I will celebrate your special day here in Wisconsin too! I really wish I could've spent some time with you at the symposium. I'm so sorry you got sick and had to go home. I will always treasure the day I got to meet you and your mom and handsome big brother.

That was pretty cool that you gave your mom a big wave at the gas station, she told us about it, way to go Maddie!

So you're a swimmer now, you are so big. Bet it feels really good to be in the water. I've always loved the water too, it is so wonderful.

Laura, You're doing such a great job and you are such a GREAT MOM, hope Maddie's birthday party is really special, sounds like it is going to be a bash for your most precious little Maddie.

I love the pix, they are so beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing the pro pix from Daniella's friend.

Lots of love, all around,

Laura,
Hello. It was so great to finally meet you. Your kids are so beautiful. I just got my film developed and I got some really great pictures of Maddie and of Taylor. He's quite the poser. I am sorry that you didn't have a good time, I'm sure it was difficult to see the family lifestyle. I think that would have been hard for me too. I'm still glad you came though. I got the chance to meet that beautiful Madison. I agree with Amanda, I can't even find the words to express how breathtakingly beautiful she is. I will cherish those pictures I have forever. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers. Give yourself time Laura, your dealing with a lot right now. Know that if you ever want to talk, that I am hear for you.

Love to all of you (and please give a kiss to those beautiful kids from us!).

PS, Tell your mom that I got a beautiful picture of her in her nighty!!!

Laura,

We were so glad that we were able to meet you. I am so sorry you didn't have a good time and you left early. Please don't ever feel that you are a failure or a bad person. You are a wonderful, beautifula nd loving person with a heart of gold. You are an amazing mother to Taylor and to Maddie, I could not imagine doing this alone....you are and are doing a wonderful job. Maddie is just so beautiful, I can't even express in words how her beauty has captured my heart. Give me a few days.....I'm still on emotional overload!!!
Give Maddie lots and lots of kisses for us and tell Taylor he was fun to meet and to listen to his mommy!!!!
With Love,
Amanda and Noah

PS tell your mom I said hello to the best dressing Grandma in town! :-) Your mom is amazing!

Hi Laura :)

I have been trying desperately to find an email address for you but I can't seem to find one. Please forgive me for not returning your call today. I was at work all day today and I work tomorrow and Friday too. I didn't return home until 8:00pm which means that it would have been 11:00pm your time (I think we are 3 hrs behind you). I didn't want to wake you :)
I would LOVE to chat with you Laura so please don't give up on me. Hopefully I get home earlier tomorrow and I will call you at a reasonable hour.

Boy oh boy, I sure do ramble don't I? Sorry Laura.

Let me know when is a good time at night for me to call. I'll try my best. I am off all weekend too so I will have lots of time to chat and catch up :)

Please give Maddie the biggest snuggle and love from me. Thank you.

Love,

I keep the picture of Maddie, TAylor and Regan on my computer desk which is where I spend most of my time. I'm so glad to know that recent days have been enjoyable and Maddie has been doing well. I understand ya'll took her for a stroll recently. I'm sure you can't wait for Spring weather so you can get out more often. All is well here. I took Mother for a driving lesson today. It's the first time she's driven since her pneumonia in Dec. Scary. Anyway, I'm just so happy to know that you have enjoyed some fun activities with Maddie. Love to all. Joy

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time with the doctors. We were very lucky to have some very strong and outgoing doctors on our team. If we ever had to come involved with a difficult doctor, our regular doctor would solve any problems with them before we had too. I sometimes think that doctors lose their ability of compassion and understanding. There will be a time and place when we don't have to worry of sickness and mean doctors, until then all we can do is pray for everyone's comfort and safe keeping!
Thank you for sharing the most beautiful pictures of Maddie. She sure is beautiful.
With love and hope,

To Maddie's Mommy,

You certainly aren't rambling :) Your update was great, thanks so much for letting us know how your beautiful girl is doing. I'm so glad that Maddie's therapy is going well. Chloe too finally got to the point where she enjoyed therapy again, it warmed my heart to know that her little body had relaxed and didn't feel the pain that it did early on in the progression of the disease. Ohhhhh & doctors, Laura I can certainly relate to your feelings and emotions. It took us a long time to finally find the perfect, most loving, compassionate and kind doctor for Chloe. He was well worth the wait. It is sad that being compassionate isn't a requirement of the job. But I guess it is up to us to try and share some of our compassion with them and show them the beauty and miracles that our children are. Somehow, someway we need to get through to some of these thick-skulled docs. Maddie is a very lucky little girl and boy is she ever gorgeous!!!

Keep your chin up and know that there are so many of us who know what you are feeling and that love you.

I hope Maddie is over her infection soon, poor sweetie.

Lots & lots of kisses for beautiful Madison Leigh XXXXxxxXXX

Love,
Lisa (Angel Chloe's mommy)

Hello! I found your site through Chubby Chica. My son Hunter is four and has Lymphoma, he is in remission. I have only recently learned about Kraabe's disease and I will add your sweet little girl to my prayer list. She is absolutely beautiful. She looks amazing in pink. I have three boys and I really want a little girl :) You have a beautiful daughter. I have been blessed to have Hunter's drs being the most wonderful people and I hope that you find some as good as those I have encountered. Don't let them get to you though. I refuse to listen to negative thoughts :) God Bless you and your family.

I see you finally got your mother to update on you. Did you have to give her a talking to? We miss and love you sweetie Maddie doll. We love you too Boy Taylor, and girl Taylor misses you also.

Laura,

You don't have to mention my name, but think you for the hard time. I wish i could always be there to give you that hug you need or that shoulder to cry on, but i am a phone call away. When the weather gets better we will come up more. Just in case you didn't know, you are doing an awesome job with Maddie and Taylor. Just give Taylor some time, it is probably just now hitting him about Maddie. I pray that God will give you the strength you need for each day. You're not crazy yet, it just seems that way. We love you all and keeping you in our hearts and prayers.

with great love,

Dear Jason, Laura, Taylor and Maddie,
Hello to the Heflin Family, from the Boyle Family.
Some friends of the Caringbridge Website have set up a little group who visit each others websites. They "adopt" each other by sending messages of support. I am sure they contacted you. After looking at quite a few Caringbridge websites I came upon Maddie's. When I saw the picture of her in the red dress looking like such a beautiful baby doll, I just had to "adopt" her site. She is such a beautiful baby with a beautiful name! I have learned quite a bit about Krabbes disease after reading your links. Before this, I had never heard of it. It sounds like such a horrible devastating disease.... My heart just breaks for you. Having a son who has been battling a pediatric cancer (Rhabdomyosarcoma) for over 5 years now, I know what you are going through. My son is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in NYC.
So aside from signing your guestbook every now and then, please know I will also be remembering you, and your family in my prayers.

When I was over there yesterday, all I wanted to do is kiss that precious forehead. I don't ever think I've layed eyes on anything so beautiful in my life. I keep pondering why this has happened to her, and the only thing I think of is that God made a mistake and sent his favorite Angel down here to you, and now he's wanting her back. And you, Laura. You are so wonderful with her. I've seen you caring for her, and you are simply amazing. She couldn't have been sent to a better mother. May God bless and strengthen you.

Happy 18th Maddie! We love you!

Maddie is so beautiful in her red Christmas dress. What a lovely child. I wish I had gotten to know your children. It's a shame when families don't stay in touch as they should and that is certainly my fault.

I miss Gaye and hope she is doing better with her arm. You both are so blessed to have her to help with Maddie and Taylor. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with you family. Joy keeps me updated and I ready you web page often.

Please know that you are not the villan and Maddie does not think that. I see how she looks at you and she loves you just as much. She knows you do what you do because to make it easier on her. Maddie depends on your care to make it as long as her body will let her. You take great care of her and Taylor doing the best you can is all you can do. Keep the faith and let those around you help and ask for it, i am here. let GOD in and help you too.

I'm sorry that your all having a difficult time, we know exactly how your feeling. Eden too is having some respiratory problems and giving us scares with pneumonia's and chest colds. I guess it's that time of year. Well I just wanted to say I think your all doing a wonderful job taking care of your children, they are very lucky to have you.

I am glad to hear the Maddie does not have pneumonia. You are right...pneumonia sets in quickly and the winter months are the most difficult. Makayla got pneumonia three times last year. We felt like we live at the Children's Hospital. I sure hope her ear infection gets better. I know that these children are prone to these as well because of all the secretions. They are unable to manage their secretions. I will continue to keep little Maddie in our prayers. Maddie is close in age to Makayla. Makayla was born in April. You are doing a great job. I sure hope that you are getting some rest Laura. I know how long the nights can get with these children. God Bless

We praise God for these wonderful boys. We are praying for you and for Sweet Maddie. What a precious gift from God. I am happy that you got to meet Anne & Gina. They are angels!

Many prayers for Maddie and all of those who love her. My family went to her baptism - she is an adorable little girl. We will continue to pray for all of you. These words have always helped me in troubled times...
"I believe in the sun even when it does not shine.
I believe in love even when I do not feel it, and
I believe in God even when He is silent."
We pray that He not be silent to you and that you are comforted by His love and each others.

I just looked at Maddie's website for the first time. What a beautiful little girl she is. I know how devastating this horrible disease is. My granddaughter Makayla has krabbe. She too went to Duke with hopes of a transplant but it was decided to leave it in the hands of God also because of the progression of the disease in her. I respect your very difficult decision. Never second guess yourself. You are making the best decision that you know at this time for your daughter. Only you know her best and what you want for her. I hope and pray God will give you lots of time to build memories with Maddie and to enjoy her, and God willing - bless you with a miracle of making her better. Give your little sweetie a hug and kiss from me and best wishes for your family. It will be nice to be back together again and enjoy the time you have. Sue Rosenau (Makayla Pike's grandma)

Glad to hear you will all be together soon. Dr Kurtzberg also recommended Ativan for Eden when we went down to Duke in May, it works really well, but she builds a tolerance to it so easily and she's now up to 4 1/2 ml's 3 times a day which is quite a bit, and it also makes her very sleepy. I'm glad it makes her comfortable but at the same time when she started on that medication she very rarely opened her eyes after that and she got that medicated look in her eyes from that point on. So I just wanted you to know that yes it does make them more comfortable but at the same time the wide awake and alert baby seems to disapear almost overnight. Just thought you'd like to know.
We think of you all often and hope your all doing well. We know too how hard that decision was to come home, but we feel we made the right one for our family as I'm sure you will too. Keep us posted on your precious girl.
Love always.

I admire your strength and courage during this difficult time and I hope that you are able to find peace and faith in each other. Madison is a beautiful little girl, and she is blessed with a loving family.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall softly upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

That little Madison (love her name!) is a beauty. I'm so glad you have a webpage now. Just 5 months ago we were also in your situation trying to make the best decision possible for our little Eden. We were hopeful but we also knew in our hearts that the best thing for Eden was to take her home for we didn't feel that she would make it through transplant or have any kind of normal life after. Just know that you will know what is best for your daughter, there is no right or wrong decision, this is her life and yours. We are all thinking and praying for you all.

Hey Jason, Laura, Maddie and Taylor,

We talked with Kelly yesterday and she gave us a little update on meeting your family and grandma Kate, too! Hope our sweet Maddie is feeling better, I hope the illness she had was just from the meds and all the boot camp training she has been through. I want you guys to know how much you are in my heart and prayers. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I am checking my email messages while I am with Micki. If you need to get in touch with me for anything just email, or leave a voice mail at home. I am checking every day. I pray today for your decision. Blessings, love and lots of hugs being sent to you from Wisconsin where me and Micki are working hard for all of our kids!! Love you guys!!
