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 March of 2004. Mattie was almost two years old and as you can see he loved spending time out on our deck. I should explain that I was painting part of the deck and Mattie was supervising. Not to mention the fact that he was attaching his tunnel system together and designing play schemes around it. 

Quote of the day: There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well. ~ Nicholas Sparks

Tomorrow Peter and I are hosting our annual volunteer appreciation dinner. We have a core group of about twenty volunteers who have been planning our Foundation Walks for over a decade. These individuals give up their time, share their resources, and have been committed to the Foundation's mission since it started in 2009. They are something to celebrate. 

 To me no event is complete without flowers. Certainly I could ask a florist to make these table arrangements, but I know I can make four lovely displays for the price of one florist arrangement. 
To me these flowers look springy and in line with Mattie Miracle's color theme.
