I am a better teacher, friend, wife and daughter because of her. I have helped share SIDS info and maybe even saved a babies life. I understand what true love is and how easily it can be taken away from you. I have learned and hopefully taught everyone to take nothing for granted, to take lots of pictures, and to give lots of extra hugs and kisses. I learned all of this beacuse of my special angel Maddie.....
We love you Maddie. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Kellie,
That is such a beautiful post!!! You are an inspiration to all of us!!! You have also helped us to become better moms. I know for me that you have showed me to not let the little things that my boys do get to me because you never know if it may be the last time you get to be with them. Praying for you and sending all my love to you and James!!! Thank you so much for what you've done for me!!!
My heart breaks for you every time I read this blog. Thank you for reminding me to cherish my children. When I was 12 I lost a sister, I watched my parents agony and though I don't know you personally I do know that your life will never be the same. I can already see that you are using your beautiful daughter to teach and educate people about sids. I think you are an amazing mom who has an amazing daughter, your reunion in Heaven will be wonderful. Thank you for your inspiring words, your daughter lives through you, and helps so many each day.
Happy 11 month birthday Maddie!
Kellie,
I've been reading your blog for a while now and I've never left a comment, but I wanted to let you know that I admire your strength. After hearing about Maddie's story, my husband and I immediately took the bumpers off of our twins beds and have now ordered breathable bumpers.
You're doing a great job in spreading SIDS awareness and I know that Maddie was put on this Earth to help others. I'm praying for you during this difficult time, I can't imagine what you're going through.
Sending prayers your way
Jamie
You have definitely helped me to remember and enjoy every day for what it is, when i think ehh who cares about the pictures I think of your posts and I try my best to live every day for that day!! Thanks for being so inspirational! :)
P.S. You have made a difference!
Prayers Kellie!
Happy 11 months Maddie!

Praying for you guys, Kellie. It has been 9 year since my nephew passed away, but his memory lives on forever. I haven't read your blog in awhile, but God placed you on my heart tonight. Praying for peace and comfort.

I bet she is beautiful with her wings, watching over you!!
Hi Kellie, I wanted you to know that yesterday me and my LO released a pretty blue balloon up to Maddie, we watched it float so high, until it melted into the bright blue texas sky. We think of you often, take care and we will continue to support you by reading your blog :) xoxoxo Love from Austin, TX
Happy 11 months Maddie!
Stay strong Kellie. You have a sweet angel watching over you.
Kellie, it is so true! Maddie may have only been on earth a short time but the legacy she left is far-reaching and infinite! Your strength and wisdom and brutal honesty have made everyone who comes across your blog a better person for it. Thank you for being strong. Thank you for sharing the life, love and heartache that one little, beautiful girl can bring to us all. Thank you to James for being just as amazing as you. You both are loved by so many! God bless.
Love from GA oxoxoxo
I started reading your blog a couple months ago as I prepared for my first child. The awareness to SIDS caught my attention and definitely crossed my mind daily. Now, unfortunately, (not due to SIDS) I'm in the same shoes as you. I lost my little boy just after labor. I continue to read your blog to know I'm not the only one feeling like I do. I recently started blogging also and think it definitely helps. I now know that the hardest thing in life is losing a child and wish neither one of us had to deal with this part of life. A friend of mine recommended the book "Heaven is For Real". I also highly recommend it if you haven't read it either.
I came across your blog when my son was a newborn. He is now 3.5 months old. And if it weren't for your blog his bumper would still be on his crib and he would not be sleeping on wrapped mattresses. And I would not have been educated on the dangers of unwrapped mattresses. THANK YOU for telling your audience about that. Thanks to your post I did my research and I believe the Toxic gas theory is completely believable.
My heart completely breaks for you and your husband. Maddie was so beautiful and I know she is watching over you every second of every day.
Praying for you,
Megan
