Today ironically was a wedding for me to attend- that wasn't as hard as trying to pick out a birthday card for my Mother in law----I couldn't do it as I thought about not ever being able to give another one to my Mom---but then again why not? I still can remember her day too- I miss my Mom- there is so much I want to share with her---like the birth of my Grandson- at least I was able to tell her that I was going to be a Grandma.- anyway- its ok to cry and its good to remember- just give yourself a hug whenever you think of a lost one----because, they would do that for you!

Your story brought me to tears. It makes me realize how precious life is. But one thing I love about your blog is your photography. I have not had a chance to read everything and maybe you are a photographer but your photos help tell your story so well. Please keep it up! Days will be brighter! Take care of that beautiful baby!

For me it is so there will always be one around when I need it. It made me realize how those simple little things we do with out even thinking kinda mean something... that may sound silly but anyway... Sorry you didn't have that great of a day, hope this one is better. Your story of the ponytail bands brought tears to my eyes- I do the same thing all over the house!

She sounds like she was one heck of a woman. Maddy is blessed to have you has a father. One day those reminders of Liz will only bring a smile to your heart and not so much sadness. I too hang my pony tail holders on door knobs and lipglosses are everywhere. Hugs Matt,

Cary, NC Tue, 27 May 2008 18:16:16 +0000 http://www.mattlogelin.com/?p=347#comment-10466 http://www.thedashpoemmovie.com/ (if you have not seen/read this poem, I hope you will find it very touching as I do) Matt, watching this movie made me think of you and your beautiful Liz today. As a regular reader of your blog, from your loving words and pictures I feel like I knew Liz, although obviously I can't really know the wonderful person she apparently was. She was loved by so many and she certainly did live her dash to the fullest. Her dash was full of love and fun and adventures. She made people better for knowing her and that is part of the reason that your pain of loss is so intense. And the irony is that had she lived, most of us who religiously read your blog would never have known about Liz and your family. Now you have thousands of new online friends but we know that you would trade us all to have Liz back. So I know you understand when I say I wish I had never heard of you and Madeline. But the reality is that WE are HERE to give you support because Liz is not THERE. We care about you and pray for strength for you as you live your dash with Madeline. She is all the reason you need to go on every day. I have 4 wonderful grandchildren but also a baby girl who died last July 4 at 2 days old. Even that tiny baby's much too brief dash will always be filled with the love her family had for her. "If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever" - like our baby, Liz will live forever because of you and everyone who loved her. http://www.thedashpoemmovie.com/ (if you have not seen/read this poem, I hope you will find it very touching as I do)

My sister had a baby prematurely on March 22, this year after having gone into labor several times. She had a c-section as well and 10 days after her c-section, the doctors found a blood clot the size of a quarter in her leg, which could have easily harmed her. So when I saw your story I was immediately blown away. I am glad you have so much support and help. I couldn't even imagine. The resemblance between Liz and Madeline is astounding. She is just so beautiful just like her mom. I wish you the very best. Madeline is in some GREAT hands having a father like you. When she gets older and learns of what happened, she will forever look up to you and thank you for everything you have done and will do for her.
