Thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive!

Dear Mattie Blog Readers,

It means a great deal to us that you take the time to write to us and to share your thoughts, feelings, and reflections on Mattie's battle and death. Your messages are very meaningful to us and help support us through very challenging times. To you we are forever grateful. As my readers know, I promised to write the blog for a year after Mattie's death, which would mean that I could technically stop writing on September 9, 2010. However, at the moment, I feel like our journey with grief still needs to be processed and fortunately I have a willing support network still committed to reading. Therefore, the blog continues on. If I should find the need to stop writing, I assure you I will give you advanced notice. In the mean time, thank you for reading, thank you for having the courage to share this journey with us, and most importantly thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive.


As Mattie would say, Ooga Booga (meaning, I LOVE YOU)! Vicki and Peter

Tonight's picture was taken today at the 5th anniversary Mattie Miracle Walk & Family Festival. On the left was a display of Mattie and on the right was a display of his close buddy, Jocelyn, who just lost her battle to Osteosarcoma on April 2, 2014. Both taken too young by a horrible bone cancer. It is 1am, and we have been working since before 6am to get this Walk together and operational today! Then of course once it was over, we had to load the car back up, unload it, and try to disassemble everything and store it back securely in our closets. It is not as if we have a basement and a lot of storage, so I have to pack strategically! I am beyond exhausted and therefore I will write more later. As our professional photos come in, I will post several!

We of course thank ALL our volunteers for their amazing service and dedication and of course all our supporters who believe in our cause and stand behind us..... making our financial goals possible! 

Quote of the day: Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own. Albert Schweitzer
