The house is once again filled to the brim with all the joy that Maddox Isaiah brings.

The silence that was deafening has been replaced with an irreplaceable palpable energy.  Over the last several weeks, it was the harrowing silence I feared.  Walking through the archway to the feeling of gray, no light, no dark just overcast and gray.

The laugh that seemingly erupts from deep within and bounces off every wall gaining steam and momentum.  His smile that can light up even the darkest of days, this is the Maddox that touches the hearts and souls of anyone he meets.  I suspect anyone that has spent time with Max is smiling right now thinking about his laugh and smile.

Max seems to have this infectious personality that literally inspires people to live with more hope, to embrace the great things in life.  In the past weeks I have found myself more aware of surroundings than ever before.  More aware of the people in my life seeking to embrace the relationships and friendships.  More aware of the smallest moments with Gracie and Max, the jokes, the smiles, and the laughs.

Life with Max is never lived in shades of gray, but in explosive life changing vibrant colors.
