Tonight's picture was taken on September 7, 2008. It maybe unclear as to what you are looking at, but Mattie was in his hospital room dancing. He was dancing to a song that was composed for him by Peter's colleagues in Peru. The title of the song was, "My Little Child." Mattie loved the song so much that the music took over and he started to sway and dance to it. It was a moment not to be forgotten! With a large IV pole and tubes attached to him, Mattie still decided to express himself. You may also notice stacks of cardboard boxes behind the door. These weren't for storage, they were boxes that the hospital staff collected for him, so he could create and design with them. One of his favorite past times.
Quote of the day: The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to. ~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

As for the update on the construction project on our deck...... it isn't over yet! I just called the foreman today, who promised that it would be done last Friday. Well guess what, it will be ANOTHER WEEK until it is over! That is two weeks dealing with this nonsense and I have had just about enough. Between the dust, noise, and lack of privacy, this was truly an awful time for them to do this project.
