Friday, October 14, 2016Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2005. As I explained last night, Mattie NEVER celebrated Halloween in 2005, because he got sick with an ear infection that led to sepsis. However, prior to Halloween, Mattie and I made this adorable calico cat costume together. Mattie wanted the "M" cat tag! As you can see Mattie was surrounded by all the pumpkins he collected at fall festivals. He was a pumpkin fan. He loved the orange color and LOVED all pumpkin baked goods.

One of the congressional offices we visited was Rep. Mike McCaul, who is one of the pediatric cancer caucus chairs.
In 2012, Mattie Miracle gave Rep. McCaul a plaque for his support of psychosocial care and for sponsoring our first ever childhood cancer psychosocial symposium on Capitol Hill. When we entered the office, four years later...... the plaque is STILL on the wall. Can you see it?
This evening, my friend Heidi came to visit us with her daughter, Isabel, who is home from college on a Fall break. That is a new one to me, because I never heard of a fall break before! Sunny took a liking to Isabel and when Sunny is very comfortable he lies on his back with his paws up in the air. It is a sight to see!
I met Isabel when she was in middle school. She has done a lot of volunteer work for Mattie Miracle. It is hard to believe we have known her for five years and she is now in college.
