A friend and his wife who have been rocks throughout everything sent us a Christmas present on Friday. I got it home, and we were so touched to see this (sorry for the crummy cell phone picture):
My husband’s first comment was that the little nose was mine and Maddie’s, as were the cheeks. We had decided for a bunch of reasons not to put the tree up this year, but this is going to hold a special place year-round, anyway.
A coworker also told me when he gave us our Christmas card that he had donated in Maddie’s name to the March of Dimes. This really, really touched my heart.
I am so lucky that my daughter inspires love like this. I’m so blessed to have such a gift in my life.

I love it. So beautiful.
This is a beautiful ornament. :)
Thanks, Jess. :) It's even prettier when it's not all washed out by the crappy light.
I love the ornament. How precious. And, how sweet of your co-worker to donate in Madeleine's name. Thanks for all your support this week. :)
Oh, Bree, anytime.
What a beautiful angel, and what an amazing gift. And I am blown away by your co-workers donation - I know how much that must mean to you!
You're such a sweetie. :) You're right - even if the ideas themselves weren't so beautiful, the simple fact that they're thinking of Maddie is just invaluable.
It's so nice when people remember and do nice things like this.
No doubt that Maddie inspires love in people! Beautiful ornament! xx
