Tonight's picture is a collage created by our Facebook friend, Timothy Beck. Tim creates these beautiful pictorial memories for many families who lost a child to cancer. He does this on his own and doesn't want to be compensated in any way. Tim surprised us with this wonderful composition that features Mattie throughout the years at Easter time.
Quote of the day: I think we need to do some deep soul searching about what's important in our lives and renew our spirit and our spiritual thinking, whether it's through faith-based religion or just through loving nature or helping your fellow man. ~ Louie Schwartzberg
The context of this photo I took, was that Mattie grabbed the photo I had of him on our refrigerator that featured him as a toddler in front of our coffee table (the picture he was holding). In 2006, when I snapped this photo, Mattie was a preschooler and towered over the coffee table. Mattie held up the photo as a comparison to show everyone how he had grown!
I am quite sure Sunny and Indie are confused by all our activity. Nonetheless, from Mattie's bedroom, I looked down onto the deck, and both Sunny and Indie were out there together catching the breezes!
Having Sunny and Indie do help, especially on a day like today. A day in which Mattie should be with us, but of course isn't.

Vicki,
Your blog was special with Mattie holding the picture, Timothy Beck making the collage, and brunch with friends but you should have Mattie with you! His absence leaves the deepest whole ever in your heart, forever - I am sorry, always
