It always makes me smile to see this. It’s such a beautiful way to honor your wife, and eventually, for Madeline to honor her mother. Happy Birthday to Liz. She’d be just 35, right? So young. I can only imagine how proud she’d be.
don’t claim to know how it feels to lose a wife after the birth of a child. But carry on with your life! you will never forget the mother of your child or what you two have been through. Marry Brook if you love her and move forward!
Loving the most recent Amoeba elevator picture! I hope this weekend is full of wonderful memory makin’ and lots of fundraising!
Im a 13 year old girl and I loved your heartbreaking yet inspiring book. Im reading it for a memoir project for my 8th grade honors english class. I live in Yucipa California and go to L.A. every month to visit family. I just wanted to let you know that your story really touched me. I hope you are doing well with Maddy. And even though im so young I have expirienced death in the family and I know how hard it can be. Oh, and Maddy is one of the most adorable toddlers I have ever seen, just from the pictures in the back of the book I can see how gorgeous Liz was. Maddy looks alot like her. I think its awesome that you go shopping with Maddy and if I passed I would want my future husband to go shopping with my daughter. Even though I dont know you, you seem like an amazing person.(:
Hello Matt,
I’m wondering how to access the LLF online auction that usually happens this time of year? I can’t seem to find info on the website. Can let me know if it’s happening and if it is, please send a link to it?
Thank you so much!Have fun at the Gala weekend!
