I despise Thursday's. They hurt...BAD. 7 weeks ago today our Maddie got her angel wings. I hate that I know how long it has been. What I really hate is what I realized this morning..Next Thursday (a yukie day already) is the 14th. That means Maddie would of been 6months old. I don't even want to think about what I am going to be missing out on...what she would of been doing, or looked like. I am going to try my hardest to be positive that day and rejoice in the fact that James and I had 4 very happy months with her. God knew she was not going to be on this earth very long and he knew she needed to have lots of love while she was here, so he picked James and I to be her parents. HE knew we would give her a life time of love in just 4 short months. So, really we are the lucky ones. We were chosen by God to be the parents of a beautiful angel. An angel that is inspiring me and her daddy to do great things in this world.
So, today (and every Thursday) is a hard day....but we can do this. We were chosen from God, he knew we could do this!
We miss you Maddiebug!

Praying for you today.
Also, wanted you to know that today I was eating lunch with my 8 mo old son (indoors) and a lady bug landed on his highchair cover. We both said hello to your Maddie.
Hugs today and everyday Kellie!
Kelli, I read you post everyday. I went back and have read everyone before that. You are so right. You gave Maddie the best four months ever. You documented her life and that is so special, especially now. You are such an inspiration to so many mothers. God gave your this angel for a reason. **hugs** to get through this day and every day feeling blessed.
Stay stong Kellie - you continue to inspire me and everyone else daily!
Kellie, there is a lady bug on my door right now. I think of you every day & I give my Mallory lots of extra love from Maddie. Maddie was just 2 weeks older than my Malli. I admire you for sharing your story & spreading awareness about SIDS.
Praying for you! We saw a ladybug on our car yesterday and I said to my mother, "Look, that's probably Maddie!" (I told her about you.)
Kellie you are amazing. I am praying for you and James. I can't even imagine what you are going through.. Our pet bunny of 9years died in my arms on Tuesday. I am heartbroken. I have been such a mess and I don't know how you are doing it....He was so loving and like one of my kids..
I also am praying for you. I have no idea how it must feel to lose a child. My cousin just lost her 13 year old a few months ago, and you are right. God chooses really special people to be the loved ones of those special angels! Those angels are only here for a short time but what a legacy they leave!
you were chosen.. Stay Positive... Praying for you and your husband!
You and your husband must be two VERY special people to have had 4 months with that precious angel, Maddie. I will include you, your husband, and Maddie tonight in my prayers. I just hope that you can feel the love, warmth, and prayers surrounding you...now & always.
I pray for you every day
Your blog has touched me so much. My daughter is 10 and my son is 6 1/2. I think of you and Maddie every day and I just can't grasp the loss of losing a child. You once said that Maddie was here to inspire mom's to hug and kiss their kids more and take lots mor pictures... Well I do!! Thank you Maddie for reminding me of how precious life is. I can get so cought up in the stress of having kids and running here and there and then I think of Maddie and I remember.... Slow down, go love on them one more time!!! My heart goes out to you Kellie..you and your family are in my prayers! Love from Louisiana.
Praying for you today.

Maddie has the BEST Mommy and Daddy. Kellie, you are so amazing! So inspiring! So strong in your Faith! God knew y'all deserved Maddie.
Still praying for you and thinking about your precious little family everyday!!

You are an AMAZING PERSON. You are so strong and I am sure some days you do not feel like you are, but remember that you have touched so many peoples life. You have personally taught me to live life to the fullest with my kids and to enjoy every moment with them. THANK YOU FROM AND HUGS FROM UTAH!!!!!!!
thinking of you lady!! xoxo
You are so right; you were chosen especially for little Maddie. Your little angel is out and about everywhere. Yesterday I was looking on Bath and Bodyworks Website and saw some ladybug things on there. Then today, as I was driving down my street, I saw a little garden flag that had a ladybug on it.
Hugs and prayers to you.
Kellie,
My heart truly breaks for you and your husband, I have a 2 1/2 yr old little girl and a 1 1/2 yr old little boy, and your story has inspired me to be an even better mom. It has helped me to remember when I feel stressed that I'm blessed to have beautiful babies to stress me out. Your a very strong woman, I don't think in could be as strong as you. Thank you for sharing your story. You, James and lilttle Maddiebug are in my thoughts and prayers <3
My daughter came home from school a few minutes ago. In class they made rock pets, Mily made a Lady bug...it made me think of Maddie and you! (((hugs))))
God bless you!
I found your blog through Kelly's Korner and I have been reading it since, although this is my first comment. I found a ladybug in my house the other day, and I immediately thought of Maddie. She has touched a lot of lives!
You are such a wonderful mom, and you are always in my prayers!
What a beautiful photo. Hugs!
Sweetest picture ever! Love it! Praying for you today. Proud of you guys for keeping strong, and being real.
Kellie,
I found your blog by chance. My heart goes out to you in so many ways. I have read almost all your posts to 2011 and have had smiles and tears all the way through. Your story is incredibly moving and inspirational. This is not an easy thing to get through, and your strength and courage is so amazing. I cannot even begin to imagine your journey. But I am incredibly moved and inspired by your families story. Thank you so much for sharing you story and providing so much fundraising and education to a cause that is so worthy! I will be praying for you daily. with lots of love, hope and prayers,
Brenna
p.s I would love the opportunity to send you a card that I have made, you can email me at the following address if that is okay with you, (please know I will not be offended if you don't want me to also): rbanderson@live.ca
I got a visit tonight from Maddie! I haven't seen a ladybug in years, but tonight while my fiance and I were parking our cars in the garage, I saw her. I picked her up, ran to get my camera and took some pictures for you. Ill email them soon!
Sending up a special prayer tonight for you and James!
Ive been reading your blog for a few months now. I said hello to your Maddie yesterday as a LadyBug greeted me on my front door. She is all around and everywhere.
She may have only had a few months on this earth but she will SPEND A LIFETIME in your hearts, & helping alot of others along the way.

I just started reading your blog yesterday and I wanted to say that your little angel is beautiful!!! You are such an uplifting person for so many people and your faith in the Lord is amazing. I will be praying for your family and I think it's soo neat that your angel comes to you in the form of ladybug. Just AMAZING!!!

I will be praying for you on Thursday the 14th!!! On that day I will be thinking of you because on that day my baby boy Liam turns 1 years old!! As a mother I couldn't imagine what you are going through. We just got back from Disneyland and as my daughter was riding the ladybugs, I prayed for you and the next day I saw a little girl that had a birthday button on that said "Maddie."
I came across your blog about a week ago, but just figured out how to "follow people." Words cannot describe how sorry I am for you. My heart aches for you, your husband and family. You and your husband are so strong and I'm sure Maddie is SO proud of her mommy and daddy. Prayers and love will be your way, especially Thursday. *Smile* Maddie is always with you<3
