Tonight's picture was taken on August 1, 2008. This was Mattie's first admission to the Hospital, in order to start chemotherapy. We were admitted through the outpatient clinic. Everything at that point in time was novel, overwhelming, and we moved about with great uncertainty. However, the two women you see at this table (Jessie and Jenny), became instrumental on our journey. They were Mattie's art therapists and I can safely say we wouldn't have survived day to day without their support.

It was bad. I got LOST in the woods for over an hour! I was very upset. I tried to call Peter, but honestly couldn't even describe where I was, because every path looked the same. In addition, I pulled out my google maps on my phone, but it was NO HELP! Thankfully along my journey, I met Steve. He was a man in his 70's. He told me he lived in Winchester, MA for 50 years and knows the woods like the back of his hand. He was a former educator and is now dealing with Parkinson's disease. Thanks to Steve, I returned to civilization. But I learned my lesson, no walking in the woods for me!!!
