A shockwave of pain and emotion rolled across The Internet and the globe yesterday as news of Madeline Alice Spohr‘s passing became known.
It was followed by a wave of love, compassion, and kindness. That wave is still rolling.
The Great Big Internet showed how it’s a place where a lot of big hearts can converge.
We’re taking a day here at Photo Bliss to remember Maddie. We’ll go back to “regular programming” tomorrow.

Last night I babysat a little boy born almost exactly a year before Maddie, at 32 weeks. I remember the almost-two-months this boy was in the hospital, as I walked his parents’ dog while they were by his crib-side, and the following months when he had breathing tubes toted everywhere, along with the diaper bag. While playing with him yesterday, I thought of Maddie.
Thank you so much for posting that. Heather’s was one of the first blogs I came upon when I got on this crazy ride. I’ll never forget that sweet face. Sometimes I just don’t understand.
