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

Tonight's picture was taken of Mattie in May of 2002. Mattie was literally only a month old. Yet was very alert and did not want to nap! What was he looking at here? A baby bunny stuffed animal! A priceless photo! 






Quote of the day: Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.


I never feel like I have enough time in any given day. Contrary to tonight's quote. I literally can't keep up with requests for help, planning the Foundation's Walk and keeping up on the admin for the Foundation. Each things are a full time job. 


A friend sent me this photo of the cover of a Lands End catalog! It caught her attention because it reminded her of Sunny.  
Do you see the resemblance to Sunny? This was Sunny last Christmas!!!




















Sunny in the spring time! I can't tell you how many times people stop me to tell me Sunny looks like Lassie! I have had people yell across the street.... "there is Lassie." I even had an woman stop me on the street today to ask me if I knew who Lassie was. OF COURSE I said. Her response was..... "you have Lassie!"
