GOD matt I could never imagine the idea of how much pain that first year must have had for you I have seen others lose loved ones and just give up but you kept going when maddy grows up and reads the words that you have wrote she will see the love you have for both her and her mother through your loss you have inspired many others to hang in there just one more day .
when I first read your story in People Mag in the therapist office I had to come home and read more each entry has brought tears to my eyes .
thank you and maddy for sharing with so many
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDY

Beautiful wedding photo. I can see how it made you cry, because from everything you’ve told that photo IS Liz. She is adoring you in that shot and you would have to be blind not to see that. Keep smiling and getting smacked around by your Princess…

Your post made me cry.
And all I keep thinking is how lucky your little angel is to have such a loving father.

While this is no where near the same experience …. I lost my mom when I was 17, my dad when I was 20 and … while it has been 12 and almost 9 years … I still feel an overwhelming sense of sadness on the anniversary of their death. A part of you left the living world, left your life and eveyrthing in it that day. I allow myself to feel every emotion I need to on those days, remembering that they meant so much to me and were taken so soon. You lost your everything and no one can expect you to feel any less than utter sadness on that horrible anniversary.
You know there are a million ears here to listen and read. Not the same, AT ALL, but still here for you.

I think the flowers were so strong in that moment because it was Liz just saying hello, just popping in as she does to remind you that she is always there looking over you and your daughter. Whenever something reminds you of her, or of a moment you shared, that’s Liz saying hello and how much she loves you.
It always stings my heart when I read about your pain when something like that happens. It is everyone’s worst fear and you’re living it and sharing it with us. You’re an incredible man and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of this.

Matt,
I would love to make a hat for madeline to wear on her birthday. Are you spending her birthday at home? I would like to send it before you leave if you are going to be out of town. You can look at the hats on my blog. I know that you have said that she does not need anything for her birthday but this is for her to wear. If you think that she/you would like her to have one plesae get back to me so that i can send it ASAP. Thank you!
P.S cant wait to see the birthday pic’s.
