Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2006. Mattie was about four years old and as you can see was very proud of his Lego creation. I love that beaming smile! Mattie gravitated to Legos and what he was trying to build that day was a gigantic train. It was not unusual for us to have train tracks, Legos, tinkertoys, and hotwheel cars all over our first level. Things came out by day, but we made it a point that they also had to be cleaned up in the evening, as this was our family space. Mattie was a lot like me, he was interested in organization and having things clean.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 29,212,779
- Number of people who died from the virus: 530,624
It's been a long day, and given my migraine, I am not writing much tonight! It is hard to believe today marks the date when we learned about the two week shutdown because of COVID-19. I remember thinking 14 days sounded like an eternity back then. Fortunately we weren't told the reality all at once. Which illustrates that in small doses, anything is palatable. I know this philosophy was true with Mattie's diagnosis. If we saw the full picture all at once, we really wouldn't have managed the 14 month treatment journey.
