Serenity Now Sunday – For Mike, for Fathers Day

Sometimes, the best we can do is share a person’s experience and let them know we have their back. That while we may not how they feel, we recognize that there are days that are just going to suck beyond the telling of it.

So today we celebrate firsts. Just a very few of Maddie’s firsts from the Spohr family flickr photostream:

    Thinking of you on this (and all the other) days. Your little girl captured my heart from the first picture I saw and as I read and re-read all your words I FELT like I knew her, which is an amazing gift that you were able to share her with so many of us.
