I've been a long time "lurker" to your page and think you are an AMAZING father. My husband and I read your blogs and just wish and pray that if one of us were to lose each other, we carry ourselves in as much pride and strength that you have. I see you are now coming to Vegas and just wanted to say that if you are up for a drink on us....we would love to meet you. We gladly accept the role of <strike>stranger friends. :p</strike> Hey there Matt. I’ve been a long time “lurker” to your page and think you are an AMAZING father.

Seems damned unfair your wife is not there right now, damned proud of your run and holding Madeline. Good for you though, for continuing to get OUT there and challenging yourself repeatedly. You are LIVING and for that I am grateful. Too easy to slink away and hide in such times. But you continue to impress and inspire me. I am so sorry..

She points and says baby. I'm trying to get her to say Baby Maddy. She tries, but she has yet to perfect it! I love the hearing protection, totally something my husband would do, something I'd forget to do! You are doing an awsome job!!! Great job with the run. Hell the fact that you did it is great. I would be like omg no. I can't run, at all. I'm too out of shape, but in my defense I have a one month old. LOL So I'm allowed to be a fat ass, even if just for a bit! hahaha My daughter Lilly loves to sit here and see photos and videos of Madeline. She points and says baby.

And, mostly FEMALE! Methinks Matt has become a bit "Sam from Sleepless in Seattle". Which could be amusing or frustrating, depending on the angle you look at it.

I'm from south india so I cannot read Hindi very well but in yout tatoo of elizabeth the last alphabet looks more like "Ya" or "Y" in hindi than "th". as I said I'm not sure but may be you would like to verify it. Take care. hi Matt, Madeline is a cutie pie. you are doing a wonderful job. keep it up.

It was four years ago tonight that my contractions started and I went into labor, with my husband alive, well, and present. And here it is, 4 years later, about to hit my child's 4th birthday without her father, with her father dead. And it still fucking sucks. This time right now was around when we got to the hospital, and I hate that I know that so specifically. Somehow the vague-but-not-timestamped memories aren't quite as painful as the ones you know EXACTLY when and where they happened. Or at least that's how it is for me since being widowed. HUGS congrats to you for finishing the run! And for surviving the week too, especially since you said the early part of it was awful. Hang in there. And I think the new tattoos are awesome.

My little guy loved to chew on anyone's hand he could get a hold of until we got him this teether. It gently vibrate when they bite down on it and it massages the gums. It's less than $8 on this awsome website that has all kinds of gadgets we never even knew we needed. My husband has since banned me from buying anything else from there. I'm addicted. I'm the one that sent you the snack cup and placemat and robot t-shirt for your little one- and this website is where those things came from too. Matt, you are doing such a wonderful job. Madeline is thriving and it is so beautiful to watch her learn and grow. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You inspire me every day.

I'm sorry that a happy memory now has to be so sad. Keep loving that baby. The mothers in my mom's group swear by Hyland's Teething tablets! Congrats on the race!
