Hi Matt. I’m from Turkiye. I just watched you on Rachel Ray show and I was very touched with your story. Watching you showed me that the worse difficulties in life can be turned in to a big hapinesses for ourselves and we can be a light for other people. You are the one that gave me a light to deal with the diffuculties that I faced in my life more easily now..I believe nothing is without a reason, it was for you to bring out your soul’s magnificent beauty and share with the world, because you have the power to do that…
you a great father i ever see
I just found your blog today. You are an amazing man and father. Keep doing what you are doing. Praying for you and your sweet little girl.

Hi Matt, I just watched Rachel Ray show. Ya I know, you will thought why I watched the late show. I’m in Malaysia so the Rachel show will be 1 year later. I was so impressed by your determination and strength that you have after the sudden death of your late wife. I even cried to see you so strong to go thru it alone. I hope that my husband will be as strong as you if I’m no longer around. As for your info, I have 2 kids on my own… Shafiqah Dalylah = 6 yrs old & Mohd Shafiq Danish = 1 yrs old. I’ll myself have a chronic disease & hoping that I’ll be able to give my kids a good time to remember me by..
Wow. It just hit me how much Maddy looks like Liz. She’s always really looked like a mini Liz but this picture proves it. It has to be a bittersweet reminder tho.
Oi Matt, te conheci através do programa Rachel Ray show,que passa aqui no Brazil, Deus te Abençoe e te de forças.
Hola Matt, Yo soy de Perú y estuve viendo en la television por cable el programa de Rachel Ray y ciertamente las lagrimas se me cayeron de la emocion de ver a un padre tan admirable como tu!.
Maddy es una niña muy afortunada al tenerte de padre, y tu esposa se fue pero esta tranquila al saber todo lo que haces dia a dia por Maddy.
Dios no pudo ponerla en mejores manos.
Te felicito y estaremos en contacto espero.
Cuidate, sigue disfrutando a tu niña al maximo, sigue ayudando a la gente como hasta ahora con tu fundacón vales oro; en este mundo deberian existir muchos mas ANGELES como TU.

We just never know when our time is up. Good for you for continuing to LIVE and be a great dad to Madeline all through this. I wish I could say I would have had the strength you did…
I read your story and it brought tears to my eyes. You are a very inspiring person and your strength is so encouraging. I wish the best for you and your daughter.
dear matt, my friend and teacher had lost her life as well due to a blood clot a month ago. she just had her second child…the next day after delivery is when the clot happened. she was 32. i am asking and praying that you read this and can help me with any information on how to help her husband…hes very very depressed, he talks about dying all the time so he can be with her. i dont know how to help him…i bought your book for him to read so he knows that he is not alone in this type of situation. i want him to know that you made it through such a horrific time and that he can to….in time. i want him to know that someday he will be able to wake up in the morning and it will be easier to go about his day. please again any info would be much appreciated! sincerely tanya
I am reading your book and am amazed at how well written it is and how sad that these things happen especially to one as young as Liz. Enjoy your life with Maddy. If you are ever in Rochester, NY I hope I get to see you at a book signing
You are definitively an inspiration to everyone. You are honoring Liz and raising a beautiful young lady. Congratulations on your book and new relationship. God Bless you!
I just saw the rerun episode for the first time on Oprah today. Needless to say, I was teary eyed for the entire segment. My husband and I have an 8 month old little boy and I can’t even begin to imagine if one of us was doing this alone this whole time. Thank you for lifting my spirits today. Your little girl is beautiful and please continue to blog! Happy Father’s day!
