Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2007. Mattie was five years old and in preschool. One of the things he did in class was a tracing of his body image. You know.... you get down on the floor and someone traces an outline of your body. Taped to Mattie's bedroom door was the tracing. Mattie colored it in and wanted it on his door to signify that it was his room. Mattie always loved his door decorated with things... ribbons, stickers, art projects, and the drawing in blue on the door says... Mattie (and a magnet symbol). At Mattie's school they always assigned a symbol to every child. The symbol started with the same letter as the child's name. So Mattie's second year of preschool, he was Mattie Magnet. Nonetheless, everyone always called him Mattie Moon, which was the symbol given to Mattie during his first year of preschool.

In addition, to expelling cerebral energy, there is a physical energy component. It involves running around picking up items, dealing with permits, raffle items, heavy lifting of Walk materials from storage to our home, and the list goes on. With each successive year, I ask myself..... will I have the energy to keep doing this Walk? The verdict is still out, but for now, I am signing off.
