I was watching the Rachel Ray show today and there was this guy on there…he was a single dad who had lost his wife 27 hours after the birth of their first child. A daughter named Madeline..Maddy. His name is Matt Logelin. The remarkable thing about this man and his family is he has chronicled first his wife’s pregnancy then his loss and how he coped and his daughter’s life on his blog…not unlike what do here. He is just a really talented writer who makes you feel what he is writing about and makes you feel like you a part of his family.

He has started a foundation to help other families who have lost a parent and from being a child who lost a parent ( I was nine but it was still hard) I think it is a great thing. The foundation started cause people gathered to raise money for him and his daughter and he decided to start the foundation and give it to three other families. He is a great inspiration and everyone who reads his story can’t help but take something positive away from it.

His webblog is at www.mattlogelin.com and the foundation is the Liz Logelin foundation. Hopefully chris will help me put a link on here soon if you want more information. Check it out…Maddy is super cute and I think it is so special she will have this to remember her mom and know what the start of her life was like for her dad. And how he got through life without Liz. Check it out!
