Matthew Robert Wrenn

I'm seeing you everywhere.  It's like I've been in a dream for a year now and it's starting over.  It seems like this past year hasn't even happened.  I miss you so much Matthew.  I still feel your arm around me last Thanksgiving and laughing with me.  You kept tickling my ribs, like you always did.  I see your head bouncing around the corner at Dad's house when we left there that evening.  These are thoughts I just keep seeing in my head.  Me, you, and Kimberly were playing guitar hero up in your room, having so much fun.  Morgan talks about you all the time.  I look at her sometimes and she acts so much like you that it brings tears to my eyes.  She is so proud of you and says she wants to be just like you.  Life just isn't the same without you.  I need our happy moments, with you they were always happy.  This was your time of year.  I see you in your camoflauge ready to get that deer, smiling the whole time.  I miss you so buddy.  Kimberly and I just aren't the same without you.  I love you Matthew.

It's funny how time moves on, yet I feel still like I am stuck in November and time never really moves on.  So many of my thoughts are of you.  I remembered the other day how I had on a sequined dress at homecoming and you chased the sparkles it made on the cabinets in the kitchen just giggling.  Most of my memories include your smile.  I also remembered how I laid my head on your chest on Thanksgiving and wish so much for that moment back.  Braden told the teacher at daycare the other day about his uncle Matthew and how much he missed them.  I hope they never forget that.  They love you so much.  I miss you dearly Matthew.  My life has changed so much and I just want to grab back the good times we had.  I hope my heart heals a little.  Love you so much.  Life is not the same for Lisa and me without our little brother. 

I love and miss you more everyday. It seems like only yesterday you left us and now it is almost a year. It is almost hunting season and I know that you would be so exicted. Dad and I were talking about you the other day saying how he wished he could go out into the woods with you one more time. I can't wait to see you again Matt. Thank you for helping Heather I saw her the other day and she had her smile back. I love and miss you.

 

I drew this in memory of one of the best friends I could ever imagine having.  I am so grateful to have met you and to have had you as a friend.  I miss you so much Matt, but all that I can imagine now is the day I get to see you again.  I LOVE & MISS YOU more and more everyday.  Love you, Tanya

Hey Buddy, I wanted to drop in and say hello.  Matthew, we went to your graduation and it just wasn't right.  You should have been up there.  I kept thinking the whole time how excited the day would have been for you and what silly thing you would have done to make us all laugh while we were sitting in the bleachers.  I kept imaging you there and seeing you smile but you weren't there buddy, instead we got to hold a picture of your smiling face but I wanted to hold you.  We should have been celebrating the rest of your life but instead we were holding onto your memories.  I will always cherish everything about you.  More and more each day I think of how lucky I was to have you as my baby brother.  I feel like we have been robbed of the most precious memories.  You should have got to celebrate everything you worked for because you worked so hard.  Algebra almost got you, but you would have graduated with honors the other day.  I remember being at the store working and luckily I had just taken some math classes that previous summer because you were so scared that you were going to fail algebra and get your motorcyclye taken away so me and you leaned over the register all that evening and worked on your homework.  Remember the day we had a buggy race after we closed.  That was great! There are so many memories of you and all of them are the best memories I have.  Those days are gone now but are forever stored in my heart.  I was thinking last night about the night you died.  I remember it like it was yesterday and always will but I don't want to rememer that night as vividly as I do.  I want to remember your life.  I want to be everything you were because no one could compare to you.  How you are missed little man.  You couldn't even imagine.  Your smile lives in mind everyday.  Some times I look up at the sky and just stare and I can see your smile up in heaven.  I think I'm hoping to open the skies and see you standing there but if I close my eyes, your watching.  I want to make you proud and if I can be half the person you were, I know I will because I'm more and more proud of you everyday. I'm going to go now but buddy words can't say how I miss you.  I love you SOOOOOO much.  You're an angel!!!!
