Hey Matt

Its been a while since that last SMS that you sent, how are you?  Word is you're doing great :-)

So I want to tell you something - that we all think is very special about you; 

Ever since I met you and welcomed the new side of our family, well we always said that you were so mature, like an adult in a child's body.  Everything from the way your eyes looked at me, all the way to the things you said to me and even the words you use to describe the most simplest things...like the Simpsons made me feel like I wasn't just speaking or looking at a boy, but instead a man...ever since I met you when you were only 3 :-)  your eyes, your voice, your demeanor, you have always been so mature and that makes me SO proud.

That's why I know you didn't leave us as a child with life lessons to learn, but as an old soul with only a few lessons that you needed to learn while you were with us and in body.  I only know of some of the lessons you
learned...I can only imagine what else you learned and how you came away from it like a prince...a true Prince of Persia...even if you are only a 1/4 Persian...lolz.

It makes me so happy to know your love and I'm proud to call you my nephew, always.

In your honor we now have November 28th to add to our yearly celebrations, thank you...and thanks for coming to me during my meditation.

I'll see you in a while...probably around Springfield  - with all my love...Amir

  1. Do you know my Father lost his nephew too! I remember for the rest of his life, he always kept him in his heart and continued to love and being proud of him as a loving Uncle.
    Matt is going to be loved and remenbered as a brave,smart little angel who was with us for a very short time.
    You taught me to believe in destiny, and I am saying it was his destiny as he didn't need more time to accomplish his mission...Mission accomplished.
    Matt, we love you forever.

  2. Although I didn't know Matt or his family (and I may be speaking out of turn, if so I apologize) but I want to share something I deeply believe in. I believe in Guardian Angels. I believe that our Guardians help us 'plan' the Life lessons we wish to learn before we are born, and watch over us once we are born into this earthly plane. And I believe that when -for whatever reason- a soul loses its way in Life, their Guardian Angel comes to them in some shape: a friend, a pet or born to them as a child. They then make sure that the soul is back on track, that they remember what the 'plan' was and continue on the right path to learn what needs to be learned, so they can achieve a higher level of wisdom and work towards becoming a Guardian Angel themselves. Once this mission is accomplished, the Guardian Angel leaves, somehow, and continues watching over the soul as it always did. I pray that those who were in contact with Matt will remember the 'plan' and the path that he came to remind them of. Make him proud!

  3. The news came to me as an incredible shock, as I was under the impression that Matt was doing better and on his way to healing as well.
    It saddens me to NO end to hear about his departure.

    Please accept my deepest condolences for this great loss, yet a tremendous GAIN to so many whos lives he touched.

    may he rest in peace.

  4. My Baby Nephew,

    I feel you all around me. As I walk through your house, everything reminds me of you. I can still smell you when I walk into your room. Your video games bring back so many sweet memories of watching you kill zombies and witches and try to teach me how to play with lots of patience and love.

    I think about you all the time. When I brush my teeth I keep thinking you’re going to pop your head into the bathroom and call out my name. When I wake up in the morning, I can hear your footsteps approaching to drag me out of bed. When I play with Sam, I can hear your intonations and your voice through him. When it snows, I imagine you getting excited about playing outside with your friends and little brother.

    It’s weird because my brain tells me you’ve moved on, yet every other cell in my body tells me you’re still here. I was ready to let you go, stop the suffering, let you be a kid again, and now I am ready to bring you back all around me…healthy, happy, laughing like you used to do with that beautiful ring in your voice and your hands covering your mouth. Uncle Amean said that now I can spend even more time with you because instead of being so many states away, now you’re everywhere and you know what, I feel you Matty.

    Welcome home.

    Auntie Talla

  5. I never met our beautiful Matt but the I saw him through Amir's strength and words of encouragement. I do believe some souls are so pure that they do not need a lengthy journey, as the rest of us do. They come for a short period, teach us a GREAT lesson and leave.

    It's very hard letting go of such a gem. We become very selfish for wanting him to stay as long as we do. The lesson is in his early departure and his continuous teachings of pure love.

    Matt is here to stay...pay his love forward...
