The heart and soul ache never go away. I am grateful to have I am grateful for the loving support of my author groups and art group and the moms and dads of a grieving support who have taken me under their wings and understand what I have been going through.

My heart still hurts so very much. It eases only when I realize you're at peace now and with all those others that love you too, Your Dad, Cousin, Aunt, Grammy. God has such Great Love for one who has compassion and helps others even when he is suffering too. And that was you, Matt. You made such a difference here on earth and now God has called you home and given you rest and peace.

Thank you for loving me. Tomorrow is a bittersweet day without you physically there at my 1st author talk and book signing. I will be reading my piece the Healing Power of Love that you and my Sisterhoods inspired and one of my pieces from the Grace book you helped edit. I will be speaking about how your love for me and that of my Sisters transformed my life. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you literally. you risked your life to save mine. I will be dedicating this author talk (&every one that follows in your memory). Thank you for continuing to be my side, watching over & protecting me. Looking forward to sharing our other news in the near future! I Love You Eternally.

"Matthew, I will never forget all the thoughtfulness you have shown me since you where a little boy. It won't be the same with you not here. I will miss all the laughs and long talks we had you were more like a son than a nephew. I will remember how you helped with your Grandmother and the special bond & love you had for one another. The most caring son with your Mom, she is already missing your many texts you sent her everyday.
I want you to know that you will be in my heart, always.
I know you are with Vaughn, Grammy, Shane & so many other family members & friends.
Love you always"

There is a 3 letter word that a lot of us may say or hear daily.
It has so many meanings when I spoke it or heard it.
It meant love, caring, sharing, laughing, crying, yelling, whispering, holding, hugging, protecting, helping, memories & cherishing.
I thought, my worst day was not to be able to use it again but now I know it is when you will never hear it again.
Will Love & Miss You Forever "MOM".
