Formula checks aren’t much, but we wanted to do anything we could to help. Hope today is a good one for you.

I love the little dolls. You have the best strangers/friends in the world.

Matt,

I’ve been following your blog and would love to send a few gifts for Madeline. Could you please email me your address when you get a moment? lupuspie at gmail dot com.

Hi Matt, Ive spent the last 7 hours off and on reading your entire story. Its absolutely heart-wrenching and inspiring. As hard of a time that I thought I was going through these past couple months, now pales in comparison to your situation.

Thank you for sharing your story with all of us and letting us have a peek into your grief and love of Liz and Madeline.

Your words and the story you tell draws me in like moths to light. I’m kicking myself for not knowing you and Liz in real life.
This whole story/thing/tragedy/life’s road just seems like one cruel joke, and I don’t even know you guys. But I will tell you… I look at my baby a moment longer… I spend just a few more minutes doing nothing with her rather than tidy the house or scrub toilets…. and I find myself giving her just a few extra kisses, (that’s possible?) like somehow that will translate into Liz giving them to Mads. I don’t know what my score would have been if I didn’t hear your story, but I can tell you now that I think I’m just a tiny bit better of a mommy because I get the chance to be one. I guess I just wanted you to know Liz has made a difference, many miles away to a stranger she never knew.

Matt-
love the wooden little logelin family, the delicate angel wings – on Liz, beautiful & heartbreaking. Standing still in MN was right on.
Hoping you had a better day today.
Hugs from the soaked Minnesota…

Hope your day is going well today. Madeline is adorable in that 1st pic. I love the sleepy look.

I can’t imagine having to tell people about your loss. I had a miscarriage and refused to talk about it to anyone for months. And that is soooooo different from the loss you’re living through. You are a brave man. Liz was a blessed woman and Madeline is a blessed baby to have you.

I’m reaaally having a bad day at home today
and then I stopped
and I thought about you and how strong you are
trying to be
with everything that you have faced in the last months
and I know that my day was truly nothing.

Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us.

P.S. Liz and Madeline have the same big beautiful eyes.

The pix of Madeline and Liz’s coworker reminded me of my little girl. She would hold her arms sort of tucked into her armpits like how Madeline is (it’s hard to describe). Anyway, a waitress told me that this pose means the baby is happy and content.
