eyes.

bluer than any

i’ve seen in, like,

forever.

eyes like the

ones your mom used

to show

me love.

now.

when you look

at me,

i feel the love

of two.

    I’m not sure if I have commented before, but I just had to say something this time. Your words went straight to my heart and I felt so much emotion with those few words. Sitting here crying like a babbling fool, now more than ever I can not wait to read your book. Thank You for sharing your world with us. Keep up the good work, I have to babies and I know how hard it is to please everyone, and it looks like you are doing just fine!

    What a beautiful picture… she’s at that perfect stage where she doesn’t look like a baby anymore, but still not quite yet a “big girl” as my almost 3 year old calls herself now.

    damn it. I started at the beginning. this morning. and have not stopped (or worked, for that matter). And everytime I think I’m done crying – or at least weeping, you get me again. I have absolutely fallen completely in love with both you, and Madeline. She is so beautiful, Matt.

    I have never posted to your website before but have been following for about six months.
    Life has dealt you and your daughter a raw deal but you have honored your wife by doing such a wonderful job raising your daughter.
    The two of you have such an incredible bond!
    Keep up the great work!

    I love this picture and the words “…I feel the love of two.” I can’t relate, but I can imagine, and this feels very real.

  51. Posted 2/16/2010 at 9:44 pm | Permalink

    strangely, my children both managed to get my blue eyes despite their father’s dominant genes. i found myself in their (my) eyes.

  52. Posted 2/24/2010 at 12:32 pm | Permalink

    She is the image of her beautiful mother, isn’t she?
