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

Vicki, I truly am amazed at the number of miles, you walk with Sunny! I love to walk but I often need a destination. The flowers, you photographed were beautiful. I look at flowers, differently when walking, since I met you. The Callo Lilies in our garden continue to thrive. First blooms have died & been replaced by newer ones in the center. This flower amazes me as it truly turned up unexpectedly and has made the whole garden more beautiful!
Mattie's smiles shines from any picture, you post. I love the thought of all the toys in the water with him. Kids with imagination are so fun. They create wonderful things because they have such busy minds!
I believe also, we don't meet anyone by accident. I have realized this a long time. It did not start leaving an impression until I worked Pediatric Oncology but since then there have been a handful of times that meeting someone has changed the course of my life, they way I think or helping me in coping. There is no chance involved in becoming friends with someone who changes your life for the better!
