When you were telling the story you were happy so I didn't anticipate tje outcome. I truly believe that a man can nuture a baby as well as a woman, and you are proof of my theory. I was 30 when my daughter was born and I also had a C-Section. I had experience babysitting but when you are responsible for a new born it can be frightening. I believe the first three months are equal to combat fatigue, (sleep deprivation). etc. but the joy far surpasses any temporary inconvenience. You are doing a wonderful job of parenting and it was heartwarming to see how Madeline smiled into the camera and clapped her little hands :) I will be looking forward to reading about your life together. Take Care August 11, 2009 2:43 a.m.

In life when you're faced with tragedy, it can either break you or make you. Your attitude is amazing and your strength is inspiring. I have lived with tragedy myself when my first born daughter passed away from a severe heard defect at the age of 10 months. She would've been 24 years old this past July 23. My husband and I had another child and she is just turned 21. She is extremely precious to us and do not take her for granted. Even though our experiences are not quite the same, the sadness and loss you feel is still there. You are an inspiration to me to be able to move on with your life and to have created what you have. You seem to be an excellent father and your daughter is absolutely gorgeous. We are strangers but I just want to let you know that you give me strength, hope and courage. Continue your great job as a dad and one day when your daughter is older and able to understand what wonderful things her dad did for her and her mom, she will thank you. Sending you a big hug from Canada and from my heart. You are an awesome person. God bless and take care. Dorine Hi Matt and Madeleine (Liz)

My husband was also my junior high sweetheart, we were together almost 20 years and we have two children Alexa, 11 and Zain, 8. My husband had an addiction problem and took his life by jumping in front of a tractor trailer on our 9 year wedding anniversary. Even though my children are older, the pain never leaves, and the kids and I still go thru counseling. It will never leave me and I will never get over loosing the love of my life, but what got me up was the fact that our children are HIS legacy. He loved his family, but could not conquer his addiction. I miss him everyday, and our son looks exactly like him. I wish you the best as I did not know what to do without him. Your story inspired me and you are doing a great job. Just letting you know the terrible loss feeling never leaves you. Congrats on all you do, as I know it is a fight everyday to go on without the love of your life. I know somewhat of what you are going thru.
