A Perfect Post – October 2008

Monday, November 3rd 2008

Welcome to the October 2008 Perfect Post Awards!


In February of 2006, Lindsay and I launched the Perfect Post Awards in order to share personally captivating posts within a supportive community of talented bloggers like you.


If you’d like to present an award next month, e-mail me and I’ll send you the latest award button code a few days before the 1st. If you’re interested in looking through our past award posts, they can be found here. As always, thanks for participating – and remember only 2 months left until our grand finale!

And now without further adieu, my Perfect Post Award goes to…


Meredith @ DC Metro Moms for This Little Light

The Original Perfect Post Awards 10.08


This is more than one of the most honest and compelling posts I’ve read. It is about a life-long friendship, a struggle with God and monsters and what to say to your children when you don’t even know how to tell yourself that sometimes life just isn’t fair.

Meredith writes, “Maria speaks candidly no matter what. I am simultaneously lifted by her breathtaking sincerity and gutted by the reality. Her family is up against something incomprehensibly cruel. Yet Maria exudes gratitude for how well Liam tolerates chemotherapy. Gratitude for the fundraisers in Liam’s name. For the people who offer to clean her house. For the quilts. For the prayers. For how Liam’s story has touched so many people. For the days they have with him. And for each and every one of God’s blessings along the way. Amdist it all, she does not pass up an opportunity to be thankful for someone or something.”

This is more than one of the most honest and compelling posts I’ve read because at the end of it – there is a way to help. After you’ve read Meredith’s post, please click over to Liam’s care page and read more about him, leave his family a message or even make a donation if you can.

Maybe together we can fight the monsters. I say it’s worth a try.
