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

We have only gotten this far because of people like yourself, who have supported us through thick and thin. So thank you for your continued support and caring, and remember:

Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. When Mattie attended the Mattie March held by his support community in his honor, Mattie's art therapists made him an adorable super hero cape for him to wear. I introduce you to SUPER MATTIE. I thought this was just priceless.

It's been another full day, and we are on day 6 of rain. I can only hope everyone is doing their sun dance for Sunday's Mattie Miracle Walk! I am proud to say that we have surpassed our goal today and our thermometer reads.....$86,198! We thank all of our sponsors and supporters for making this happen!
