Stolen Imagery!

Let’s not forget the time that some guy stole a pic of Max and put it up asking for prayers!

It got over 50,000 likes, 15,000 comments, and 800 shares, meaning that Max has surpassed the reach of my years of social media effort in one fell swoop.

That was a weird time.

 

Max is 2!

It was Max’s birthday!
I made him a nice sign.

It has all the best stuff. Monkeys, stars, giraffes, big letters. And my own unique style.

Also, Maxy’s Mommy and Daddy took off of work and jumped from a plane!

Then, Max’s Polish grandparents drove down to visit him.

Max’s birthday is a family holiday for everyone every year.

Find-A-Max

I finally got around to adding Maxy boy to Find-A-Grave.com.

Oddly, there are quite a few Tworzydlos on the site when you search.

Max serves as such a constant inspiration to me. If I ever feel overwhelmed at work, I just look at his picture and everything comes into perspective. Also, I started this bootcamp personal trainer thing a couple of weeks ago. It was really tough, but I’m getting better. When we’re at the end of our 1 minute high-intensity stuff, and the other people might be hitting a knee during mountain climber or something, I just focus really hard on Max and how strong he was and say “I will not stop” and then I fight through the pain and finish strong. I love it. I don’t think I’ll ever be scared of shots ever again. When I’m about to give blood or get an injection, I just think about how many times Max did that and that I need to be strong like him. Maxy helps me so much everyday, I just wish I had more time so I could have done more for him.

P.S. – someone please remember to add me to FindAGrave.com one day.

Max’s Birthday

Today is Max’s first birthday!
I wanted to get a tattoo of Max’s handprint in his honor. But the tattoo guy said Max’s handsize is too small to tattoo properly! It’s about 1 inch by 1 inch and the Toronto tattoo guy said he’d have to enlarge it to make it work.

So we said, nah that’s okay, because it’s the size that matters for our Maxy boy. I didn’t want to choose something on the fly that’s crappy and not cool like Max.
So we have spent some time looking at his pictures and watching his videos and thinking of him.
We watched his nice slideshow which is a good encapsulation of his life.

We really miss our little baby a lot. It’s been tough. Tougher than most people probably even think. It makes it harder that he was such a cool dude when he was around, so you miss him a lot more when he’s gone and wonder what he’d be up to by now. But I’m glad we got to spend the time with him that we did.

We love you, Max.
Also special thanks to everyone else who showed their love for our Max, Team Max. That was very nice.
