I LOVE when you talk ...Max is such a radiant soul. I LOVE when you talk about him! I think about him often because of what you have shared with us! His light shines into my life, and I am so grateful you are willing to share him with us.<br /><br /> I think Tamar said it so perfectly, and I full-heartedly agree!<br />Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222165479373902724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-66506436598368020172014-01-26T15:21:51.718-08:002014-01-26T15:21:51.718-08:00I am so glad that I got to meet Maxie.

He was exactly as you describe...sweet, happy, always smiling. i am sorry that 9 1/2 months of time is all you got with him...all any of us got the share with your sweet sweet boy. i am thankful though that you choose to share your memories and stories with us here. xoxo.robynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-71490110311156304912014-01-21T13:55:38.267-08:002014-01-21T13:55:38.267-08:00Dear Abby, in its very essence, your blog reflects...Dear Abby, in its very essence, your blog reflects who Max was and who Max should have grown to become. Sharing with the world who you are and the lens through which you and Ted experience life gives insight into Max and Mo. The idea that this blog is narcissistic or simply a platform where you air your grievances about the hand you've been so tragically and unfairly dealt...this doesn't sit well with me. Your blog is a resource for anyone who reads it - a resource for learning empathy, grappling with uncertainty and terrible pain, celebrating life's little and big gifts. Whether or not you are "writing about Max," reading your writing always causes me to pause and remember the life and smile and light of a precious little boy.Rachael Petru Horowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425839195717252192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-34447745555613148162014-01-21T10:44:38.322-08:002014-01-21T10:44:38.322-08:00I am sitting at my desk at work crying over this e...I am sitting at my desk at work crying over this entry. I am not sure why certain of your entries wrench at my heart more than others but this one certainly did just that. I am so sorry for you and your family. Its' so unfair that you don't have more time with Max. I wish with all my heart that this was not your story and that you had your Maxie with you where he should be and that you had no reason to write this blog. <br /><br />You do a beautiful job of conveying how special and loved your Max is. I am a total stranger and I've been reading your blog every day since the beginning. He is a beautiful boy and you are an extremely talented writer. Thank you for sharing Max with us in this way, and thank you for sharing your journey of grief with us as well. It takes a ton of guts.<br /><br />--Becca Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-35766151235882412352014-01-21T10:00:19.852-08:002014-01-21T10:00:19.852-08:00I believe that you writing about what your life is...I believe that you writing about what your life is like since Max left this world is connected to Max and who he is and was. The gift you give to those of us in reading your blog is in some small way, connecting us with your love for him, which in turn connects us more to him. Please write whatever comes from your heart, whatever you need to say here - even if it's not "directly" about Max. And please know that even if you repeat memories, stories, and photos, we will always welcome these small pieces of feeling connected to your boy. xoTamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613378538673671626noreply@blogger.com
