Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2009. This was my last birthday with Mattie. Linda, Mattie's child life specialist, wanted to make sure that Mattie was able to celebrate my birthday. So she got him a cake to give me. Mattie enjoyed celebrating birthdays, and for Peter's birthday he always helped me bake a cake. The funny part about this was Mattie wasn't into eating cakes nor did he love sugary products. But he did like the notion of fun and celebrating.
Quote of the day: For some moments in life there are no words. ~ David Seltzer
This morning, out of no where, Peter started singing, "Baby Mine" from Dumbo. Of course he was doing it subconsciously and he did not even know what he was singing. He stopped and had to ask me, what melody he was humming. When I told him, he wondered where on earth this came from. After all this isn't something he typically sings. I knew right away what he was singing because this was a song I used to sing to Mattie when he was a baby. Then as he got older, and we watched the Disney movie Dumbo together, we would watch the particular scene which is linked below in which Dumbo's mom was deemed dangerous and gets quarantined and separated from Dumbo. Timothy the mouse reunites them briefly and during this reunion, this song plays in the background. It is a very touching moment between mother and son.
As Peter was humming this song today out of the blue, my conclusion was this was Mattie somehow delivering a message to me through Peter.

is bright, airy, and filled with natural light. You can see the trees and the lake. To me it is an ideal setting to dine by.
