there are no words.

Thank you, leigh anne -- for sharing this with me. I now feel compelled to share it also.

What am I speaking of, you ask? Take some time to visit this blog. It's the story of Matt, Liz and Madeline -- a young family rocked to the core by an unthinkable tragedy. Matt and Liz, a young couple in their early thirties, were expecting their 1st child this Spring. Little Madeline came early -- very premature, but healthy. Just 24 hours after baby Madeline's birth, Liz died unexpectedly of a pulmonary embolism, just as she was getting out of her hospital bed to go visit her baby girl in the NICU for the 1st time. Unthinkable and horrific.

Matt's blog is compelling, heart-wrenching and will make you think very hard about complaining of your life's little hardships. Take a moment and step into Matt and Madeline's world. Perspective is a powerful thing.
