Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2008. Mattie was in kindergarten. It was a Friday, Mattie came home from school and Peter got off of work early. So we took Mattie on a Potomac River Cruise. A first, and he loved it! I still remember the boat's name... the Matthew Hayes. We all got a chuckle at that, since Mattie felt he and boat shared a name. While sailing, a fellow passenger offered to take a photo of us. Which I am glad he did, as photo documentation is so important to us now! Whenever I walk Sunny down by the river and see the Matthew Hayes sailing by, I think of the Friday afternoon captured in this photo.

The highlight of my day was meeting two of my friends for lunch and celebrating a friend's birthday! I introduced them to a new restaurant and then after lunch, we walked two stores down to a bakery for cupcakes. I have known these two friends for quite some time, because we met at Mattie's preschool. I find it noteworthy that most of my friends from preschool still are in my life, and not only are we friends, but they are instrumental to the success of our Walk. I had no idea in 2005, when Mattie started preschool, that we would all be connected 14 years later. One of the many gifts Mattie left me.
reads........... $84,749.
We are at 85% of our goal!
