I honestly can't remember the last time I was at a park...not a baseball park, but a park where children are playing...little kids are running around giggling and screaming. If I had to guess, and I will guess high...this has been the third time since Maddux died. Natalie and her friend Katie wanted to have a sleep over. I had to drop Chase off for a baseball game and suggested to Katie's mom, to lets meet at this park. I remember taking Natalie to this park when I was pregnant with Maddux. Katie has alittle brother named Kobe, who is three. Natalie has taken such a liking to this little boy...She absolutely LOVES him...as you can see by the pictures. She would have been such a good big sister...
Looks like you guys had a great time! I haven't seen Kobe in the flesh since he was about Kaleb's age...sniff, it's been too long! Thanks for taking care of my friends!
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."
