Yesterday I went to the beach to join Hanna - and all of Maddy's friends and family - in thinking about Maddy. I am a friend of Hanna's from the UK and never met Maddy but the stories that I have heard and read are beautiful and heartbreaking. It's so easy to get a picture of him as a generous, loving, caring and light-hearted adventurer, constantly doing and being good in whatever small ways he could. Thinking of Maddy and of everyone missing him. The sky lit up in beautiful orange and pinks over the ocean yesterday. We see and feel you Maddy Sophie x
Dearest Sophie, I am filled with gratitude and feel your love for our whole family as you found Maddy in this beautiful place. And though you say you didn't know him, your words certainly capture his true essence, which tells me that indeed you do. I am so glad that you felt his light when you were at this beach, on this day, with all of us. Much love, Jordana, Maddy's mom
