Dear Maddie
Darling little Maddie. You were taken from this world much too soon. I wish I could play with you and cuddle you and know you for the sweet little girl you are. More than that, I wish I could hand you to your mommy and daddy so they could hold you once more and forever.
I cannot imagine the burden of their sorrow at losing you.
Since my wish is not to be granted in this lifetime, I will wish instead that your legacy will be one of hope for other children.
The Spohr family is asking that, in lieu of flowers, we donate to March of Dimes in Maddie’s memory. The March of Dimes works to ensure mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies.
Our House…is a very, very Green House
Children are natural ecologists. They love to play outside and appreciate the joys of discovering rocks, plants, and animals along the way.
What they need a little help with is conservation–learning to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Shutting off the lights, taking shorter showers, and opening a window instead of turning on the air conditioning are all ways that even the littlest person can make a difference.
The Plan Toys Green Dollhouse aims to introduce children to sustainable living through a concept dollhouse. Every aspect of the Green Dollhouse helps children learn how people can co-exist with their environment in a more eco-friendly way…
