I don't even know what to say about Matt. He was my first real boyfriend, my first kiss, the first boy I ever held hands with. I loved him with everything I had, even when we were just friends. I remember the winter of '99 when school closed early due to snow. Matt and I spent 3 hours in the back parking lot throwing snowballs at each other, talking, hugging, just being together. I can't even count the number of hugs we shared, but there were never enough.
I miss him more than words can say. I can't describe the pain I felt when I first learned he was gone. To know that there will never be another Matt hug, never another friend like him, it brings tears to my eyes, tears that I don't want to hold back.
Matt, I know you're in Heaven. Looking over your daughter, looking over all of us. I hope you know that I still love you, I will always love you. No matter what path life takes, there are always people, like you, who touch us and make our lives brighter, forever.
