I like the yearbook idea :) Or we could sign the t-shirts that everyone gets each year?

I would love a poster of Anthem's tattoo. What a cool idea of a photo of all the survivor's tattoos.

Mandy, it's too late to participate in this particular project--the proofs are at the printer's right now. The project occurred in late summer/early fall, so no need to worry about it.

Steht, yes--Victoria (from the book) had the full cover art to the book put on her arm.

I've been looking over the new samples (really amazing!!) and it made me wish I could have been so compassionate in my own letter as these people have been. And also really grateful to those who were able to connect more to their emotions than I was.

I'm probably going to say this a lot, especially once I have the book, but, Thank You x

The pictures you posted are so beautiful, Matt. This was obviously a labor of love for you, and for each person who wrote a letter.

It was a labor of love. I hope I'm not being too mushy or too intrusive if I just come right out and say that the love of that labor was a love for all of you and what you represent to me. You have NO possible way to know what you mean to me, and how much I respect and admire all of you. You mean the world to me, and I'm not shy to acknowledge it. I did work on this book I didn't know I could do, but it was because this book represents YOU and the light you can bring to the world. You all have already saved lives and will save more.

Honor and credit to YOU.

okay I get it. Matt those letters are beautiful in every aspect, I can not believe that there is really a whole book filled with such inspirational, beautiful words of encouragement. The art is beautiful, bright, inspirational I don't really have words that are sufficient to express how proud I am to be among this group of survivors, I am so excited for it to be finished.
