And now she's gone.
Twitter lit up last night and today as word of Maddie's death flew around the internet. People who knew her, knew her parents, were devastated, their comments and Tweets almost unbearable to read. In amongst all that was a searing anger at the company (Bluehost) that hosted the Spohr's blog - they shut it down because of the influx of comments and have refused, point blank, to reinstate it. Even knowing why the blog was getting so many hits, they refused. Talk about cold-hearted assholes.
I hesitated to post anything about this little girl, feeling that I wasn't a part of the circle of people who knew her, either in real life or virtually, but her little smile, her stories, touched me, more lightly than many of you, I know, but I had to.
Money is tight for everyone these days, but if you can spare even a few dollars, please consider donating to the March of Dimes in Maddie's name. I plan to on Friday, after my husband gets paid.

My heart breaks for this little girl I did not know, and for her family that is suffering the loss of such an adorable angel. There really are no words to express it, but they are in my prayers.
As for BlueHost, I have plenty of words for them, but I will not share them on the same comment section where it is more important to focus on a little girl that was taken away too soon.
I've seen the posts and her mom's especially break my heart.
Sent an email to Bluehost telling them what I think. The site's back up, BTW — I think a friend of theirs must've transferred it to someplace else.
I'll be hugging my little guy a little closer today.
Thanks for posting this and
letting some of us who didn't know her or her situation. March of Dimes is a very worthwhile organization...
Hugs out there to all the little ones.
