Thursday, May 10, 2012Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. Mattie was home and playing with LEGOs. LEGOs were our saving grace. In fact, in the background of the picture, you maybe able to see tons of LEGO structures Mattie had created over time that year in the Hospital. They were all lining our living room floor. When I look at our living room now in comparison to then, there is a night and day difference. Almost as if the horror never happened. But it most certainly did, and though the toys are no longer all around us, pictures of Mattie are everywhere. His presence still exists visually, and several of his LEGO creations are on display in our living room.

It is 10pm, and as I sit down to compose the blog, I find that I am simply exhausted and do not have much energy or the desire to write. This doesn't happen often, but today is one of those days. Peter and I head to Georgetown Hospital tomorrow morning, where we will be interviewed by Fox 5 news for a story on Mattie Miracle and our contributions to the Hospital. Wish us luck, because when I am tired, I have trouble stringing words together, much less emotionally laden words. Until tomorrow, when I promise to share our experiences of the interview with you.
