Two mom bloggers lost their babies this week. I can't even bear to write those words.

By Alaina Sheer

Last week I got an e-mail from my friend Matt.

"You probably saw on Twitter, but a friend of mine lost her baby last night. They were at the play date in the park."

I hadn't heard.

Somehow in the midst of everything I had missed the Twitterverse and Blogosphere erupt with the news of 17-month-old Maddie's death. The outpouring of support from bloggers like Matt and hundreds of others has been extraordinary gathering national press attention and has amounted to over $20,000 donated to the March of Dimes in Maddie's name.

Please lend your support to the Sphore Family here on UnDomestic Diva's website. Their tribute site for Maddie keeps crashing so it's best to use that link.

Just days later news rippled across Twitter of another mom blogger who had lost a child, far too early.

Thalon Bruce Myers passed away on April 12th.

At this writing his mother has not updated her blog but had written a post on April 9th about Thalon's ear and throat infection. Then four days later these words came:

please forgive me my little man. I feel like I failed you in so many ways. i miss you with all the breathe i tried to breathe back into your beautiful body and soul and hope you know i love you with every tear, breath and cell left in this heartbroken fucked up body. i so wish i could be the one to take your place. i'd do it in a heartbeat because i don't know if can live without seeing your sweet, sweet smile again.
