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, at the Mattie March. I did not take this photo, my friend Christine did and sent it to me. To me this photo is priceless because Mattie was sandwiched between his two closest kindergarten buddies, Charlotte and Campbell. These children always joked that they were going to go to college together! Ironically, the moms of these children are still present in our lives today and volunteer and financially support the Foundation. Mattie is no longer physically with us, but the connections he made are still alive and well.

It's been another whirlwind of a day, with Sunday fast approaching! Tonight's blog is short and simple, our thermometer reports $82,581 or in other words we have reached 97% of our Walk goal!
