Sometimes, words are not enough.

Madeline Spohr changed us all. She touched our lives, she continues to. I know that every time I see a purple flower, I think of Maddie.

She is love. She’s proven to me the raw humanity that still exists in this world and how to share it and how to spread it and I couldn’t be more thankful.

I’ll be walking again in her honor on April 24th, 2010 for the March of Dimes and I hope you will too.

To be thankful today.

To count our blessings.

To appreciate.
