Remembering Maddie ..
I have not really felt like writing a post lately. I have just been so sad this week… The passing of Maddie Spohr has so touched me more then I thought it would. I have been reading up on her to short life and my heart just aches for her mom and dad, Mike and Heather Spohr.
We had a great Easter service this past Sunday but at the end when we were singing all I could do was just cry and think of that poor family. Praying them that God would give them grace during this very difficult time and comfort and touch them somehow. I almost felt guilty last night as I was going to sleep knowing that my own little girl was safe and sound asleep in our room…she is only 2 days older then Maddie I think this is why this has touched me so much. Maddie reminds me so much of my Kyboo. I hold onto her even tighter and to my Chicken, Mason. I love them so much and thank God for them. Today is Maddie’s funeral.. and I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this will be for her parents. I am praying for them continually today.
I keep trying to put myself in their place and how I might handle that and can’t even bring myself to mentally go there. All I can do is pray that God will enfold them and hold them so close and tight and give them peace. I can’t do anything else…..
Maddie Spohr
I just happened to run across this from a Flylady Twitter.. And I have been so touched and saddened by this story. I think I have been so touched because one she was such a beautiful little girl who looked so full of life and two she is exactly 2 days younger then my Kyboo…. And I just cannot imagine the heartache and grief that this family must be going through. As I write this I am wiping tears away it’s just so sad. I am so thankful for my healthy little girl…. and I love her so much… I could not imagine if anything happened to her. It is at times like that you have to concede that God has a bigger plan and we just don’t understand it. My Thoughts and prayers are with this family…. I did not know them but non the less I am saddened by their grief and loss….
