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!!!!
