What is “The Liz Logelin Foundation” and the “My Stuff Bags”? As most you may know, I have been following a blog since I first learned about them, from an article in the Star Tribune in April 2008. I do not personally know Matt or Madeline, but this blog has touched my heart in ways I can’t explain. For those of you that are not familiar with the site, Matt lost his wife, Liz, 27 hours after their daughter Madeline was born. Madeline lost her mother. Liz never got to hold her daughter. The blog is a love story to Liz and Madeline. As a mother myself, I can’t imagine this unthinkable. I suppose one of my biggest fears (now that I am married and a mother) is dying young and my children not knowing me. (For the record…I know that it is all up to God, but it is still a fear of mine....) I never had that fear before I was married….it’s amazing how life changes when it isn’t “just you” anymore.
Back to the real reason for this entry….the Liz Logelin Foundation was created to support other widow / widowers that have children. The other link on the right, “My Stuff Bags”, is a charity that Matt has chosen to support as well (so I have too)! So if you can find it in your budget to donate a little bit, to either charity, it would be much appreciated.
Matt’s blog has reached around the world and touched more lives then ever imagined. Personally, this blog has changed my outlook on life, so in those moments that life just seems crazy and nothing seems to be right, I will often times think about Matt and Madeline and know that it will okay.
Enjoy life and live it to the fullest…. have a great day!
PS...if anything, be sure to check out Matt's blog (not only are his entries heart felt and inspiring, but Madeline is so darn cute....and he takes some amazing pictures too!)
