Capp Kindess Project

I've been working with Matt's friend, Katrina, for the last few weeks on something we're really excited about, and I wanted to share it here. Both of us wanted to do something in honor of Matt's birthday, November 12th, so we came up with the Capp Kindness Project.

 The concept is to perform at least one act of kindness for someone on November 12. That's it! Matt was happiest when he could help someone or put a smile on someone's face, so there would be no better way to honor him than by helping others on that day.

 We've come up with a list of 34 specific ideas that you can choose from(34 for Matt's football number):


We also ask that you would print out a slip and leave it or hand it out with whatever act of kindness you choose to do. The goal of this day is to spread kindness and love and also to share Matt's story. We would love for this to be interactive, so please join the event page on Facebook, and take a photo or post what you did to the page on November 12th! 


(If you would like a slip mailed or a PDF version e-mailed to you, message here or on Facebook, or e-mail me at lindsaycappotelli@yahoo.com)

People often say to me that they feel helpless and wish they could do something to help-well, this is something you can do. To see people all around the world participating, spreading God's love and keeping Matt's legacy alive, would make me SO happy, y'all. So please consider being involved, and start thinking of an idea/ideas now. I've got my ideas ready! Let's make this HUGE!

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
