My mom passed away just before Thanksgiving when I was 18. Since then I cannot tolerate the smell of stuffing. Thankfully my love of mashed potatoes and gravy lives on. Apparently gluttony trumps grief…sometimes. Not that I’m suggesting you’re a glutton…or that there is anything wrong with that. This comment has taken a weird turn. I’d like to wrap this up with something witty and uplifting but now I’ve screwed any chances of that, so I’ll just say thanks again for sharing pieces of your life with us internet weirdos.

The scent of spring…. reawakening. It’s inspiring how conscious you are. I’m learning from your example and observing more, more deeply.

Beautifully written. I can’t even imagine your feelings. It’s my worst nightmare. Just cherish the moments you had with Liz, and all of the new ones you will be making with Maddy.

How lucky you are to have loved and been loved by Liz. Gently hold onto these memories as your heart opens to add new ones.

There is nothing like a scent to bring back powerful memories. Give Maddy a kiss from all of us and know that you are held gently in many hearts.

I’ve been thinking about you and Maddy a lot, maybe because March is here; I can only imagine how hard this is for you. I wish this was all a bad dream and that one day you will wake up and it will all be the way it was before that day, but that’s all I can do, and I know it is not enough. Keep up the good work, you are a hero to me and to many others, we are all thinking of you.((Hugs))

Love these Easter Eggs Matt. Beautifully written. I compelely agree that a smell or a song can bring to back to a moment like it just happened. I will be thinking of you this month. Hold Maddy close.
