It is one of my favorite road trippin' bands of choice. So is Band of Horses. But no one transcends "those" kinds of moments like Sigur Ros. Sun Kil Moon gets me through as well.

Wanted to tell you that NMH got me through the loss of my daughter, who, ironically, is named Anna. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure I'll comment more as I read through what you guys have been up to in the past year since this was posted. Good luck. You are loved. Hey Matt-

I thought I was the only person who listened to NMH, at least in the town of Oshkosh, WI. Just read your people article and as a nanny who sees what dads can't do or choose not to I am awed by the task you are accomplishing. I will continue to read you blog, and I hope you continue to write:) Wow! I thought I was the only person who listened to NMH, at least in the town of Oshkosh, WI.

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 07:04:49 +0000 http://www.mattlogelin.com/?p=116#comment-7513 Hi Matt, You don't know me (so how many times have you read that lately, I wonder) but a link to your blog was posted on the message board for my mommy's group in Las Vegas. I have been checking in every day since I first read about your story. There are so many things I could say, all of which I am sure you have already heard. I think Maddy is going to be just fine with you as her Daddy. What you have done so far in such a short time (although to you I am sure it feels like forever since Liz left) is nothing short of amazing, and you have been an inspiration to so many. I was particularly touched by the entry you made about feeling that Maddy had lost her best parent and how you thought you were probably the second best parent. I have to agree with the person who responded about what Liz would probably think about that. Liz chose you because she knew you were the best Daddy she could ever give your children. Women think about these things. I also chose my husband knowing that he would make a phenomenal dad, and if something happened to me I am secure in the knowledge that my son would be well taken care of. Please give yourself more credit. I'll add my offer that if you ever need an "ear" to listen, I am always there. If you ever make it to Vegas, you have people here who care what happens to you & your precious Maddy. Warmly, Gina C. Hi Matt,

I am moved by your story and I am sure like many- feel fairly dumbfound at what to say. I am not sure how it feels really to know strangers are thinking of you and your family- but they are. The online world of parents is vast. Many loving 'at home' parents with their precious bundles, but hurting for another adult to speak to.. or who need so very desperately to get the theme song for Dora the explorer out of their heads if just for a moment- turn in mass to the net. Your story is spreading...I want to say now that even strangers will know your life is more than a meme or story, that it is real and where ever they may be (B.C Canada fer me) they are sending love and thinking of you. You deserve the support and care. Which i hope you comes your way. I wonder how many children, or wives.. or husbands will be loved a bit more or held a bit tighter because you were able to share your story. not sure if there is solace in that- or a sense of robbery. I hope solace. -hf Hello Matt-

I read your story last night and cried. You and Madeline are in my thoughts and prayers. You will both make it through this. Your pictures are beautiful and I know that you will show her pictures of Liz as she continues to grow and I am sure that you will have stories to share. Maybe even the robot story!! LOL!! Stay strong and I would love to listen anytime. It sounds like you have a great support system too. Take care. My niece, Maria, told us about your blog on her blog.
