On April 22, 2001 my life was changed with two little words. “Wanna date?”… so romantic and heartfelt. Nine years later we are celebrating the anniversary of that first day, and the anniversary of the day we wed, exactly 5 years later.
Happy 4th Wedding, 9th Together Anniversary, Matt. I love you more every single day.
Last year on April 7th I was going about my regular day, unaware of the change that was happening in the world. My husband was at work, and I was spending my day off going about life as usual. We didn’t have internet at home at the time, so I decided to stop at the library. I wanted to check my email, and see what was happening on Twitter that day. When I pulled up my Twitter I was instantly inundated with tweets from people talking about a little girl named Maddie, who had died. I had no idea who Maddie was, had never heard of her or her parents Heather and Mike. Since that day I have prayed and thought about Maddie so often, I got to know her from reading her parents blogs, watching the videos.
On April 7th, 2009 a little angel named Maddie changed the world. Rest in peace sweet girl, you are loved beyond measure.
