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 June of 2007. Mattie was five years old and that weekend we took him to Lancaster, PA. On our drive, we stopped at a Pretzel factory. Mattie learned about how they make the dough and even learned how to twist a pretzel. We were on our way to Dutch Wonderland, a theme park geared toward preschool and elementary school children. I am so glad we did these weekend outings, because we learned the hard way that time is not guaranteed.

Tonight's blog is going to be short to non-existent. I developed a sudden migraine this afternoon, and it makes it impossible to function by a computer. 

Today's Sunny photo! Because of the lightning and thunder, he headed to the utility closet in our basement! 











I went to the Mattie Miracle mailbox today and received a check from a donor for $25,000! Needless to say it felt like winning the lottery.
