I just picked up your book today at the book store and honestly stood there reading the first few chapters in the aisle, tears down my face at one point.

You are an incredibly brave human being and I know without a doubt your equally brave wife is with you all still – a spirit like that would never leave.

I wish you so much healing.

As I sit here watching my Tigers play your Indians, your statement of Liz’s love of baseball really hit me hard. As a baseball loving woman myself, it made me feel close to a woman I have never met and that we had even more in common than being short and blonde, and love family and music. It made her so much more real to me than an endearing woman in a blog. I am so so sorry for your loss Matt.

Matt-

Your wife and child are gorgeous. I’m so sorry for your loss. Babies need so much, and give so little in return… but the older they get, they give back tenfold. Your wife will shine throught that little girl and she will know how amazing her parents are because of you. Madeleine is so lukcy to have you for a daddy- Time will fly and before oyu knwo it she will be stuffing pieces of cheese in your shoe,a nd you will find random toys in your sock drawer. It’s amazing. ***HUGS** for you. Contonie to post pictures of your wife. she is a beauty and her smile lights up the page. and I love seeing ones of you with Maddie- she is getting so big!

Yeah, Matt. Gotta agree. The pink tie has to go into retirement.

I’m a little concerned about this Twins talk, cuz Madeline looks like a Cubs fan to me… Oh, well… I guess as long as she’s raised on baseball, ANY team will do. Except the Yankees. Can’t wait to see pix of her this summer at a game!!!

Matt,
I have been reading your blog since your first Cribsheet appearance. I have thought of you, Baby Madeline, and Liz so much and I have never met any of you. Truly, Madeline is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful Dad. She really is.

Dear Matt–Just finished reading your blog–what an awesome Daddy your beautiful daughter has! I’m so sorry for your loss–it is so difficult and no one can know the journey until they go “thru” it. My husband passed away last summer of lung cancer and I also am tired of crying, but just can’t stop. Take care of yourself, along with Maddie–LIz is so proud of you. She “is” watching from heaven. Check out the song “When I get to where I’m going”. Peace to you thru your healing…

I heard about your story through a friend of a friend who works with your mom and then read the story in this morning’s Star Tribune. I immediately logged onto your website and read your blog, poured over the beautiful pictures of you and your daughter, cried, and laughed. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I never thought I’d say this, being from Wisconsin and a born Brewers fan…but go Twins!
