Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2008. Mattie was five months into his cancer treatment by that point and already had two major limb salvaging surgeries. In fact, Mattie and Peter were sitting on the hospital bed located in our living room. Mattie was home recovering from his major surgeries, and unfortunately being home and knowing it was the holidays were difficult times for Mattie. Mainly because he was isolated, not feeling well, and the start of his post traumatic medical stress symptoms began. In the midst of chaos and great bouts of depression, there was this fun moment. Peter was working hard at trying to divert Mattie's attention, and these reindeer outfits worked for a bit.
Quote of the day: Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more." ~ Dr. Seuss
Peter and I flew back from Boston tonight! It wasn't my kind of flight because it was super bumpy. The irony is before we got up in the air, the pilot said that we were going to have a smooth flight. Which is what I like to hear. After take off, we weren't up in the air for long when the turbulence started. It started and it did not end!
The wonderful sight in the air was seeing a big Mattie Moon, which Peter captured through incredible clouds and fog!
