My first year of grad school is done! I am back home in Southern California, about to start my first of two internships, but more on that later.
Something really cool happened today. About a year ago, I stumbled across the blog of a fellow Southern Californian, Matt. Matt has a beautiful daughter named Madeline and he blogs about his life with her. What makes Matt’s story unique, however, is that the day after Madeline was born, her mother passed away, and since then Matt has been raising Madeline on his own while dealing with the loss of his wife.
When I first started reading Matt’s blog, my friend Laura had just had her baby, Aiden. In buying gifts for Aiden, I somehow got put on a mailing list, and suddenly, tons of free, but useless baby stuff started coming my way. I had more formula than any childless woman could ever want, and I immediately thought to send it to Matt and Maddy. Along with the formula, I sent a pair of pink converse for Madeline (because every girl needs a cute pair of pink shoes) The only problem was that at the time, they were much too big for her. I knew it would take about a year before she could actually wear them. Since then, I have been reading Matt’s blog religiously. Not only because I love his posts, but also because I was waiting for the day where I finally caught a glimpse of Maddy wearing the pink converse. Today I got my wish. Not only did I get a glimpse, but there was a full on foot picture of her sporting the shoes! She makes them look so good!
