Wednesday, February 8, 2012Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2007. We met Peter's parents in the Florida Keys and while touring around, we saw this interesting shop that had a man made out of sea sponges outside. It captured our attention, but as you can see, Mattie was less than happy with me. He did not want his picture taken and his facial expression speaks volumes. Typically I try to post pictures of Mattie smiling, but just like any child, he too had his moments where he did not want to participate or go along with the plan.

As I was making our bed this morning, I noticed a picture of Mattie on Peter's nightstand that was not there the day before. In addition to this picture, I found a folded world map, underneath it. I thought those two additions to the nightstand were odd, so I emailed Peter about it at work. I expected him to say he found those things, or came across them and put them aside on his nightstand. However, that is not what he told me at all. He has NO idea how those two items got there this morning. So what is one to believe? I didn't put them there, Peter didn't put them there, and certainly my clever calico couldn't possibly achieve this feat. With an absence of a sound explanation, I take these items as a sign from Mattie. A sign that he is with us and perhaps is around us exploring the world. I can only hope.
Many of my faithful readers know I haven't been feeling well for several weeks now. Yet I am very good at living with chronic pain, and have a way of working through it, despite my issues. However, today I received some test results that I wasn't expecting and therefore, will be spending the remainder of the week trying to see other doctors and figure out next steps. So I am signing off for tonight and as always I thank you for checking in with us and staying connected.
