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 August of 2007. I went to a conference in New Orleans, and brought home this mask! Mattie loved it as you can see, because he decided to wear it around our home. Mattie was a child that was fully on, loved connecting with people, and engaged directly with his environment. It was a huge adjustment for us when he died, as he filled our home with great activity and life. It took us years to adjust to the quiet.

I continue to feel congested and not myself, so I spent the day resting. On our deck, we have a resident butterfly! Isn't he glorious??? My Mattie weekend sighting. 
We planted this perennial this year and I am thrilled it attracts butterflies!
