		<description>Thanks Matt!  I might have to change my own title to the same thing man!  It&#039;s been crazy lately - everyone seems to be working harder just to maintain the same kind of life.  It&#039;s been hard for any of us to keep up with work and family and, then, try to find time to blog.  Doesn&#039;t matter though - the friendships are the best part of it anyway!  Thanks again for including me on your list!  Hope all is well!</description>

		<description>Great site. 

I just read your story about your preemie girl. I had a micro-preemie last year and we&#039;re told that our next little guy (due in April) is going to be coming soon.

I&#039;ll be heading back here often. Once again right site.

		<description>Thanks, Matt! The link is just today showing up on my blog; WordPress magic at it&#039;s finest! I appreciate it very much.

Great post. We often find ourselves nitpicking and complaining about the littlest things when we should just be thankful for what we have. I know I&#039;ve been working on perspective lately; this post was certainly an eye-opener.</description>

		<description>Clearly.  

I just checked-out the other awardees.  Awesome blogs!  Wondering how I made it into the finals.  Just saying.  [NOT fishing for more compliments.]</description>

		<description>Aw, thank you for the award. I&#039;m flattered.

Even though it breaks my heart that I&#039;ll likely never get to be a mom no matter how badly I want to, it brings me joy to see parents who truly appreciate their children, even when they brag a bit. So much better than those who do not recognize the blessing for what it is.</description>

		<description>Thanks so much, Matt.  I&#039;m very flattered.  I now feel the need to live up to all the standards of this award. ;)  Hmm...</description>

		<description>Barbara -
Of COURSE I noticed your new assistant&#039;s name.  Clearly he will be a dedicated and loyal servant.  Smart as hell, too! :)</description>

		<description>So true man - so true. We&#039;ve even been dealing with trying not to compare our new daughter with what our first daughter&#039;s milestones. 

Great post and congrats on the award.</description>

		<description>You write very well, Matt.  Being excited about Frankie&#039;s current developments is an expression of your love for her and in no way diminshes the importance of another child&#039;s death.  Just the opposite.  

I am very pleased you chose to give me an award - especially today.  I think I will go post it now.  

But first - did you notice - I named My Assistant Therapy Teacher - MATT?  Check him out.</description>
