I am not quite sure what “Lee” Meant in the above comment. “STOP the madess”
“Be the person that liz loved”
I believe matt has found an outlet to help him with the loss of his beautiful liz. In a heartbeat he would turn it around to have her back. It is obvious that Matt and liz were full of energy, love life, had an awesome group of friends, loving family and love for photograghy. Liz loved all these qualities in Matt and it is obvious to me why she married such an awesome man to be her husband and be the father of her child.
I think Liz is smiling down on what an incredible job her Matt is doing with their little Madeline. She would not have wanted anything less than what Matt is doing, how he coping or how he is raising and loving their daughter. All the pictures he has shared with us show that this is the way they lived their life.
If anyone is not thrilled with the way Matt is dealing with his pain and the loss of Liz…it is simple…Don’t read his blog.
I admire Matt for sharing his love of his wife and his daughter with us. The pain and the tears as well as the laughter and the joy of watching his daughter grow. I don’t think Matt is doing anything differently than he would be if Liz were by his side. The only thing that has changed is he is doing it alone.
I am sorry that “lee” lost a soul mate as well but don’t tell someone to “Stop the madness and to be the person liz loved” when someone is choosing to deal with death in away that is different than your own.

I never like to see tension on such a powerfully positive site.. Matt I hope you can see how much you touch people’s lives daily..

But seriously- why would anyone assume they know Matt and his family well enough to decide he has changed from the person Liz loved?

I can’t say for sure, of course,
but I have long thought that the reasons- the attributes in Matt that have us ‘all’ coming back each day are likely the exact same attributes and gifts that tell us how Matt found such a light giving- profoundly beautiful and obviously kind hearted partner in Liz.
