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

Here is a photo of Mattie's driver's license that I mentioned above! This was something Mattie was very proud of! This license still hangs on Mattie's closet door today.

Vicki,
I am glad you got home safely with no incidents.
I definitely know, I would have left that play when you did. We both take fundraising so seriously, that it is a shame when people doing it seem to make a mockery of the importance of offering a quality event if you are doing it for a worthwhile cause.
In your last few blogs, your quotes have really interested me and made me think about my ideas concerning fear and courage. I know I will be thinking about both.
As always, I love your Mattie pictures! They are so special. I think of all the people, I know who don't treasure pictures as I do. Pictures tell a story. Your pictures tell a story of love. Very special!
