Proud of my work -- 16 Years of Service

Thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive!

Dear Mattie Blog Readers,

It means a great deal to me that you take the time to write and to share your thoughts, feelings, and reflections on Mattie's battle and death. Your messages are very meaningful and help support me through very challenging times. I am 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 have stopped writing on September 9, 2010. However, like my journey with grief there is so much that 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 me, and most importantly thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive.


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

Tonight's picture was taken on April 17 of 2004. Mattie was two years old. That day we took him to the National Zoo and Mattie and I were having a moment together. We did not even know that Peter was capturing us on camera. It was just a natural interchange between us.

I have been working the entire day away in front of the computer trying desperately to catch up on the Foundation's Walk activities! Being gone a week has set me back a bit. I had a lot of digging out today and literally I did not move for about 12 hours. I am wiped out and even wrote an April newsletter, but I am happy to report the following news. This is the first year that the Foundation has six corporate sponsors for the Walk. In total, these sponsors have contributed to the Foundation over $13,500! It is a remarkable achievement for us. I am deeply grateful to each and every sponsor and our most recent sponsor, which we secured today, is Inovalon! I want to thank Kristen, who is a loyal blog reader for helping us target this wonderful lead. I am deeply grateful! 

Here is a listing of our wonderful Sponsors for this year's Walk:

IBC, a DBS Company
