Matt and Madeline,

I was so honored to find your page and read your story. You are two of the most admirable and beautiful people alive. Thank you for being so honest with the world and letting us learn from the way that you handle your grief. Matt, you are a perfect dad and I can tell that you will teach Madeline about the most important thing in life– loving each other and sharing your true selves. I’m so sorry that you lost your wife– it reminds me to not take anything for granted in mine. I read your blog about not being a cynic anymore and that definitely touched me. I do wish the best for you and your beautiful daughter.

You are doing absolutely great things with Maddy! It’ll work out, not the way it was planned, but it will work!

Oh Matt…this is the most tragic thing I’ve heard of. I am so sorry for you. I know this post is old, but I just wanted to give condolences as I had just learned of you through Mrs. Spit.

As for the picture of your little girl raising her hands up, it looks as if she is reaching up to God.

I just started reading your blog today, my friend introduced me to it. I’am so touched by all your pictures of your beautiful baby girl! I lost my husband Oct 23,07 in a work accident…our son had just turned 4 months old on the 22. I just wanted to let you know I read your blog and it brings both smiles and tears. Your doing a wonderful job with Madeline!

Found your blog via Storked! and just wanted to say that everyone knows sociology is way cooler than economics anyway — I’m in a Soc Ph.D. program so I’ll just keep telling myself that for a couple more years! Just give Madeline some Marx and Simmel and she’ll be fine.
