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 March of 2006. Mattie loved working with clay of all kinds. That day he got his clay out and was designing all sorts of things to add to his cars, car carrier and trains. Literally with clay it was a royal mess. But Mattie was good about keeping the mess contained so it would be easier to clean up after he was done.

Our flight was delayed today by only one hour. We are very lucky to have gotten home today, since there is a threat of snow in DC for Sunday. 

In case you did not know, Atlanta is the headquarters of Delta airlines. The airport is enormous, well run, and literally everything there is Delta. 
You can see the sky line from the airport.

I checked on Sunny virtually today. Can you see him, sitting on a cot? He is on the right hand side, next to the blue stool. What is he looking at? Try the door to get out of the room! 

Sunny will be a happy camper tomorrow!
