Birthday
Today is Matt’s birthday. Exactly two weeks ago I was looking for a card. In the past the card I would have been looking for would be a birthday card for Matt. This time, I was looking for a sympathy card for my parents. Great sadness that day, this day. Especially for Mom and Dad.
April 18 2018.
This would have been your 43rd birthday Matt, so I wish a happy birthday once again.
This will be my last post on this most wonderful website devoted to you and created by your loving brothers and shared by Mom & Me as well as the rest of our family and friends. My heart is heavy today as I sign off, but know I will still be in touch with you through my heart and mind.
I love you, and always will.
Love
Dad
Dear Matthew,
A thought:
Somewhere out there if love can see us through, then we’ll be together somewhere out there, out where dreams come true.
Love, Mom
Dear Matthew,
Last night I had to sit down with “Big Teddy” and let him know what I was thinking and then I really did feel better. I know you heard me.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers, through this very difficult time. I am sending hugs to all of you.
I am so proud of our family. In times of joy and sorrow … no matter the miles or time that has past, we remain close in spirit. From our strong, resilient Grandmother to our Mom (your sister, your aunt) and Linda (who was more of a sister to Joe, Jeanne and me than a cousin), we will carry on because that’s what we do. We are strong and we will forever hold our loved ones in our hearts.
Love Always,
Boots
