It's something I have on a list to do in my heart, but can't bring myself to read it yet. I have almost lost my 2 year old baby girl a couple of times and the feelings that I felt are indescribable, but I still have her. She's alive, she's doing well, and I just am so thankful that her when I thought I lost her I didn't. I can't bring myself yet to read any blogs where a parent has lost their baby and they don't get them back. Just writing this comment on your blog makes me just want to cry about it. Someday I'll be able to go and read about Maddie's story... in the meantime, like you I will be taking a million pictures of my kids, because I love them SO MUCH, and never want to ever run out of pictures of them if God forbid something happened. Because you wake up and you never know. I woke up one day thinking it was a normal day and found out my daughter had a heart problem. I woke up one day and my daughter got ahold of her heart medicine and almost died.... you never know in life. Brace it, love it and do the best you can at it... especially at being a mom. It's the best thing in the entire world to be. .-= Amanda (Garibay Soup)´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.garibaysoup.com/2009/10/i-cant-even-describe-how-much-i-love.html" rel="nofollow">I can't even describe how much I love them</a> =-.

Aunt Becky (don't know how to link in comments) just posted an entire list of bloggers who have lost children. God, it just breaks my heart. Sometimes I do wonder what makes us so special to have healthy children. I think it's wonderful that you've taken their story to try and be a better Mom. I could use some of that motivation myself!

I have seen may of the bloggers I read refer to the family, but I am not a "mommy blog" follower. From what I know, it is a totally tragic story. The loss of a child seems so unnatural. I don't think there is much worse than that in the world. .-= Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://hiddenmisery.blogspot.com/2009/10/another-mail-call.html" rel="nofollow">Another Mail Call</a> =-.
