Maddie Bermingham was my kindred spirit… Born into the world of Lissencephaly/Miller Dieker Syndrome we were connected from the start. We never had the opportunity to meet in person but my mom would show me pictures of her, we actually favored one another! Maddie was a tough girl like me! You can’t be a Miller Dieker kid without being tough. One battle after another we have to conquer…. whether it be hospitalizations from being ill, surgeries, seizure fighting, oh the list goes on and on…Maddie fought very hard for 6.5 years. It broke my heart when I heard the news of Maddie losing her battle to a seizure. It is just so unfair. I am sorry I never got to meet you. I know your mom and dad and brothers are missing you so much. Even though you are in a much better place than we are down here you are missed and thought of daily. I see you running,jumping,singing and dancing… I am sure the angels are amazingly beautiful in person. Fly high Maddie loo….. We sure do miss you.
Love Malia
