I totally agree that we keep going for our kids. My husband passed away suddenly of a heart attack in 2007 turning my world into a nightmare. My daughter was 5 years old at the time. I didn't want to get out of bed but had to because of her, I didn't want to celebrate Father's Day 2 months after my husband died but had to because she wanted to. As I continue to deal with my grief I am grateful for my daughter. Because like you said, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. I have to go on for her and she keeps me going. I keep my husband's memory alive for my daughter by constantly telling her about him. She, unlike Madeline, does have memories of him but I continue to make memories for her. Telling her what his favorite ice cream was, his favorite food, etc. We celebrate his birthday but eating his favorite foods, doing things he liked to do. You could tell Madeline things Liz loved. I also had friends and family write letters of memories they had with my husband. I am putting a book together for her so when she is older we can read through them together and she can see that is wasn't only she and I who knew how wonderful her Daddy was, it was everyone who knew him. If I can be of any other assistance through your grief please let me know. Friends and Family are wonderful but it is only people who have lost the love of their life who can truly understand what our life is like for us and our children. Keep doing the amazing job you are doing. You are great! Matt,

It brought some emotions. My story is different. I filed for divorce at 7 months pregnant and reliquished all the fathers rights and choose not recieve any finnancial means from him. He was evil. I feel lucky to be alive as well as my daughter. I did not want her to grow up in or be exposed to such evil. He sort of lost it when I got pregnant, strange since we were heavy into fertility treatments. So I do mourn the loss of marriage and family and the possibiltiy of more children. I thought I married a great guy, everyone loved him. I thought we would be married forever, like my happily married parents of 52 years. My daughter is 5 now and doing great. I look back on the last 5 years and I am amazed at what we did together and how we have grown. It goes by in a flash. One thing I will suggest is a journel to Maddie. I started my journal to Audrey when she was born. I write anything from the first time she said I love you to the first time she went pee pee on the big potty..and there are times I do not writes for several months. I don't make it a pressure thing , just an enjoyment that someday Audrey can read. You sound like you have done so well. It is tough, you have to be good guy , bad guy...and trust she will bring you to your knees the first she informs you she does not like you any more because you have had to correct behavior..brace yourself. Dating is real tough...I just finaly decided to hand it over to God and know that some day he will bring me a great guy. Frankly, I do not have time to date between working fulll time and Audrey...it leaves little time. But, some advice I recieved from a divorce support group was to carve out time for myself. So I do about every 2 weeks or so get a sitter and go to dinner with friends or catch a movie...something very adult. It does help. As much as we love our children, we still need time to really talk to adults and do adult things... I also suggest a pretty firm early bed time. It just gives you an hour or so to usually clean up from the day, but once in a while catch a good TV show ( if there is such a thing) or talk to friend on phone , blog etc...you get the picture.. I will end with this story...My mother came and kept Audrey for a week while I was on a business trip.Audrey was about 2 1/2 .I returned and my mother informed me that I needed to watch my language. "What do you mean" I replied.She informed that Audrey used the "F" word all week. Completely mortified, I asked " Did she use it in the right context?" My mother replied "Yes, she walked around all week and asked where the fuck is my binkie?".........enough said. Good Luck to You and your precious daughter. Jennifer I saw your story on Oprah.

My daughter is now 14 years old and raising girls is a very tough job! My son is now 20 and is on his way back from Iraq and it seemed he was easier to take care of, girls are sooooooo different. Matt I so admire what you are doing. It's hard I'm sure to truly put into words every single emotion you have gone through but you are doing such an amazing job for your daughter and your wife. You never think about this happening, although you know it does until you read someones story. Just know that you are giving your daughter a gift that you could never put a price on. She WILL know her Mother thanks to you and sounds like she will grow up to be a healthy and well grounded young lady. They grow up so fast so please cherish every moment that you have and may you always have the strength to get through this journey. Again, you are the best Father any girl could ask for. Keep up the wonderful work, Matt and take everything one day at a time. I, just like many others have just seen the Racheal Ray show and I cried when I saw this!
