I love the idea of your foundation. I am also a NICU nurse and since the death of Andrew have mentioned to our grief coordinator that we needed a resource such as this for families here at work. I never thought of doing this with my son and I so wish I had. We have pictures but just snapshots with a regular camera and I cherish those so much. you are doing a great work.
And my name is Maddux. I live in heaven now. I was born February 4th, 2005, and I died on February 10th, 2005. My family misses me very much. Ask about me sometime, and see how my mommy's eyes light up.

In Honor of Maddux:
The mention of my child’s name
may bring tears to my eyes,
but it never fails to bring
music to my ears.
If you really are my friend,
please don’t keep me
from hearing this beautiful music:
It soothes my broken heart
and fills my soul with love.
Finding my new normal:
Like the butterfly, I have the strength and the hope to believe. And in time, I will emerge from my cocoon... Transformed.
"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way."
"Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear."
"In our lives there is bound to come some pain, surely as there are storms and falling rain; just believe that the one who holds the storms will bring the sun."
