I’m with Kimm in the MN. One of my favorite books. The Four Agreements.

Your Wedding photos are stunning. Madeline shares Liz’s beauty.

Wow! A picture really is worth a thousand words. You can tell so much in those wedding pictures. You are lucky that you had someone that loved you THAT much, for however short the time was. What you guys had was special and some people never experience it. I’m so glad you have such great friends that keep you occupied and out of the house.

Seriously, I have a feeling Madeline is going to look exactly like LIz. The same expressive blue eyes and radiant smile. You’re lucky to have 2 beauties like this in your life Matt!

Beautiful wedding photos. Thank you for sharing those. I really like what you did with the photos over your fireplace. I may have to steal that idea.

I just read the comment that ’someday this will make sense’ and I can’t help my gut reaction of “no it won’t. what happened is the crap. the pits. it sucks and it will still suck in 20 years” and these photos, while so stunning beautiful, make me sad for you all over again. You have strength and Madeline to keep you going.

i was also hoping you might one day post pictures of your wedding day. i am taking back by how strikingly beautiful and elegant Liz looked in these photos. and you looked so happy. one day Matt, you will too smile this way again. I have been through a different type of heartache, that aches in the same cruel way, but i am relying what i just told you. i know those smile will return for both of us.
Maddy is such a beautiful vibrant baby, it must be wonderful to see her react with smiles to you. i am looking forward to those moments too someday.

Your posts are like a great novel that I can not ever put down. Some chapters are more raw and heart wrenching to grasp! There are times I even have to walk away as I am so taken back with emotion and have to gather my composer! (my kids must think I am a deranged lunatic or something. I never cry and I keep sitting down at the computer crying with and for you. Whether they are happy tears as Madeline is just too cute, your stories are too funny, or so heartbreaking ~ the tears just keep coming)
I truely can not imagine what it must be like for you. Through reading your blog, I truely have gotten more in touch with me! Your writtings allow me to be more in touch with my emotions and allow myself to be vulnerable. Of course I have suffered losses and feared for my childs health and well being when she had medical issues for a few years. I know how sacred life is. I know not to take things for granted. But when I read your story, the empathy I consume for you is astonishing. When I read some of your daily posts like this one, I want to pick up the phone and be there for you. You have been so open and honest, sharing all your inimate emotions, memories, joys, self and life with all of us it makes me feel like I know you. sometimes I have to step back and remember in reality I don’t. You have no inkling of my existance. It trips me out.

Liz is such an amazing woman, so beautiful and you can see and feel how she radiated with happiness! I love the pictues, thanks for sharing! I think you should still hold onto the tickets to Greece!!!! Those are going to be Madeline’s ticket in making all the memories piece together. She can hold something her mom once did. You may have the memories in your head but Madeline does not. She will learn from the pictures, your words and these “pieces of paper”. They really are so much more! Please keep them. I have some unsolcited advice (sorry) but I have 4 kids and they get so much stuff from school, girls draw you about a bizzilion pieces of art a day, and you have keepsakes etc. So each kid has a giant plastic storage bin of which I just throw what I want to keep in. Right now it has no order, my goal is to one day organize this for them/for me (hope that day comes for their sake) but maybe you could do something similar now. Just an idea.

Liz definately has it. She is just so perfect in every picture. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. Your wedding day looks like it was an awesome freaking day!!! I hope today is a better day. Remember Liz is watching over you and Madeline. I also LOVE the pictures of Maddy hugging her daddy =]
