Please Send Happy Thoughts
Matt Logelin, a friend of ours from Chicago, is going through an impossibly difficult time right now. His wife, Liz, gave birth to a baby girl (Madeline) and then died of a pulmonary embolism the next day, before she could even hold her daughter for the first time. Matt became a father, a widower and a single father all in a 27 hour period. He's been blogging about it at mattlogelin.com and there was recently a story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about his story (he and Liz were both originally from MN and moved to Los Angeles).
Liz was a beautiful, vibrant and vivacious young woman and losing her is devastating to Matt and everyone else who knew and loved her. Matt is really rising to the challenge of being a single dad to a tiny preemie baby but, of course, it is hard enough to take care of a newborn, much less alone, and much less while you are grieving the loss of your wife.
Please send happy thoughts, prayers, and whatever good vibes you can spare in his direction.
