Maelani's 6th birthday

Today is Maelani Rose's birthday. She would have been 6 years old this year. People always write all the amazing traits their child has on their birthday and I have to say that in Maelani's 16 short days she has done so much good and continues to do much good it's really hard to believe.  Because of Maelani we have donated around 300 -500 dollars of toys each year to the Children's hospital at University of Iowa. This year we donated 550 dollars of the book Anchored by Kayla Aimee to the  Nicu. That book is so special because with Maelani being on this earth for just 16 days she made it into that book. Spreading hope to Nicu parents and helping them along their long journey. I  have yet to be in a book and I have been on this earth 39 years. Because of Maelani we have raised around 2000 dollars each year since 2010 for the March of Dimes. This is for  research make more advances to keep the little ones healthy if they do arrive too soon or keep them in a safe womb longer. That's around 12,000 dollars Maelani has raised with your help. That's amazing and as a parent I could not be more proud. I wish everyday Maelani was still around, so I could tell her how proud I am of her and give her one more hug, but since I can not I will just continue to make a difference in this world by spreading kindness and giving when I can to add to the ways that Maelani changed this world we live in. Happy Birthday my sweet girl. 3:33
