Today we celebrate the life of our youngest child and only daughter. Madelyn Suzanne was born nine years ago today. I have a hard time believing it could possibly be that long ago that she entered our life! I can't tell you what a precious blessing she is to our family. Maddie is full of life and passion. We affectionately call her a Drama Queen, but only because everything she does is worth doing to the fullest. The highs in life are over the top, the lows are the depths of despair. Life is never dull for her, or for those around her! Maddie loves people, is the most faithful of friends, and has a tender heart for the brokenhearted. I am proud to be her mom, and look forward to the days when our relationship begins to shift to friends (just like me and my mom!). I love spending time with Maddie, she's a hoot to be around!
Here are pictures representing the last 9 years of her life. How quickly they have gone, and I try not to think about how quickly the next 9 years will go...
(As a side note, I have added this playlist in honor of Maddie today. The second song, "Ellinana", is my song for Maddie. She loves for me to sing it to her, I just sing "Maddie Sue" in place of "Elliana.")
