It is still hard to type out my thoughts, I feel there are no amount of words that can really honor Matt and what he has meant to my life the last 12 years.
It's weird, I've been incredibly lucky to make it this far in my life without a tragic, unexpected loss of someone this close to me and I'm struggling.
I'll miss the late night texts, the barrage youtube live music links and the big laugh. All those beers and jokes, stories about the girls.
I just keep reading old text messages and going through pictures and the one thing that sticks with me is how lucky we are. Not just with Matt, but with a lot of the brotherhood we get to experience in our lives. I thought I had another 40 years with him, but now it's become so clear to me that the only time we have, we've already spent.
Tell your friends you love them, take the extra time to send that text, make that call or even better...show up.
Like many here have said, I plan to be there for Steph and the girls as much and as often as they need me.
In an attempt to stop the rambling, I'll post one of my favorite photography moments, when Matt just gave up on trying to wrangle the girls for a family photo and just let the chaos happen around him.
I love you, buddy...see you on the other side.
