I want to preface this entry by saying I have never met the Spohr family. In fact, I only stumbled across their blogs not so long ago, sort of haphazardly.
And now, as they attend funeral services today for their baby girl, Maddie, I feel as though my world has been shaken upside down as well as theirs.
You really get to know people intimately through their daily or weekly or monthly blogging. I am amazed at how much strangers and friends share with Internet stalkers like me. I find myself laughing at their ups and sobbing with them, albeit thousands of miles away, through their downs.
I think the therapy that is online blogging works both ways.
Anyway, check out these videos and this Web site, but be warned, you'll need Kleenex.

And perhaps consider a donation to the March of Dimes, to help other families and other babies with smiles -- and hearts -- bigger than the human world. Much bigger than any of us.
Keep them in your thoughts.
