Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2006. That week, Peter took Mattie to Boston to visit with his parents. He did this, so I could have the time to focus on studying for my licensure exam. I really needed that time to review material and get myself prepped for the exam in October. I am not a good test taker, so I truly appreciated having this uninterrupted time. While Peter was visiting with his parents, they received this BIG box! Naturally all cardboard boxes were considered very useable by Mattie. Together they constructed a playhouse and Mattie colored and painted it! The beauty of Mattie.
Quote of the day: We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one. ~ Dean Koontz
