Last night I sat out on the deck, looking around the yard where earlier this year I watched my grandchildren look for easter eggs. It was cold then, and of course no leaves on the trees, but Emily, Kevin and Keaton still went looking for those colored eggs with treats or money inside. Such a treasured memory, and it feels so wrong that that was the last time the three of them would be at Grandma’s house together for easter. I miss him so so much.

I have been thinking about Kevin a lot lately. Ashlyn started talking about him out of the blue the other day and it really surprised me. He is always in our thoughts, as you, Dawn, and Emily are. He is always missed. Thank you for your posts, I cried, and my heart breaks for you. We love you!

I’ve started to type many comments to both of you in the time sice Kevin has died, but they always sounded stilted so I erased them before they were sent. This time I have to tell you how moved I am by this website. The posts are so raw and emotional. I am crying, and I can’t imagine your depth of pain. No words seem adequate to say. I think of all of you often.

Matt,
You do not know me. I have been following your story for quite awhile now. Even though your past posts have brought me to tears, this one did especially. You are a wonderful writer and you seem to be a wonderful father too. The memories you have of your beautiful son will live on with you always. I wish I could have known Kevin (my brothers name was Kevin and he has been gone now for 15 years – he was 33).
Much older than your Kevin, who only got to celebrate two birthdays. Everytime I see his pictures, I think “what a sweet face” and taken from you much much too soon!
