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 in May of 2009. This was the photo taken on the track with Mattie, his cousins, and all his nurses, child life, physical therapy and doctors. Every year when we line up on the track for the Mattie Miracle Walk, I can't help but think back on this moment in time.

It has been a long day. So tonight's posting is short and sweet. The Walk thermometer 
currently reads..... $75,348 or 89% of our goal! We can't thank our supporters enough for making this possible! One more week left to generate $10,000, to meet our $85,000 goal.
