One of the true blessings for you and Madeline is that you are one of the lucky souls that will cherish each moment you have with her. Some of us need (sometimes not so gentle) reminders to love with our whole hearts and appreciate life. I’m so thankful you were able to have real, true love before she had to leave.

Matt! This has me crying. I am so very sorry for your loss. You are truly a WONDERFUL father and your daughter is so lucky to have you. Reading this makes me think about so many things in my life thanks for opening my eyes and helping me realize that I need to enjoy my loved ones and spend as much time as I can with them. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to email me.

I linked to your blog via Chrissy Coppa’s blog at Glamour. This picture of you and Liz at Machu Picchu was the first one I saw. This post was the first I read. My husband and I have a 19 month old son. We are planning a trip to Machu Picchu next summer. We tend to put a lot of things off because we don’t want to upset the “baby’s schedule” or we are too tired and bleary-eyed to think past today. I want to be able to say that we had no regrets when we have the opportunity to look back. I want to do the things we’ve always wanted to do. Thanks for inspiring us.

Hi Matt,

“but really,

those are the only

regrets.

pretty fucking amazing.”

I just told my Mum to read your blog, because I think that you share some really great lessons, and we should be grateful if we don�t have to learn them in such a hard way.

What a very sad but beautiful story….your lovely daughter does indeed look quite like mommy. What a joy to you! It’s wonderful that you both have so many loving people in your lives. Maddy is so lucky to have such a loving and attentive father. I am amazed that you are doing so well after such a loss. I am one of those middle-aged women who love babies…I really enjoyed that comment! All the best to you and your Maddy….
