Humbled.......

It has been almost 15 years since we lost Matt in horrific accident.  Some days it seems like yesterday and somedays it seems like forever ago.  It is hard to imagine Matt now.  To me he will be will be forever 27.  

 This past weekend he was honored by the Texas Legends and The American Fallen Warrior Project.

It was that coincidental type of happening.  Tim spoke at an event where one of the Warrior board members was present and Matt's name was turned in.  

It was humbling.  There are thousands of families whose loved ones have died.  The pain is the same for them and they are equally as deserving.

 We have been blessed beyond measure.  

Matt has been remembered in so many significant ways.

We are still giving scholarships from money that was raising 14 years ago in two golf tournaments.

It is a gift that seems to never end.  Matt has left a legacy that any parent would be more than proud of.

 The presentation was amazing.  

The portrait was beautiful and we are blessed beyond measure.

  It was an evening we will never forget.

To share it with the family, well there are no words.  

My daughter-in-laws and grandkids never knew Matt but it gave them a sense of what an amazing young man he was.  

We did nothing to make it so.

He was a kid on a mission from the day he was born.

 Maybe Matt knew he had a lot to accomplish and little time to do it.

Whatever gave him the impetus to succeed, succeed he did.  

He did not waste a moment and I am grateful for 27 years of memories...and to all of those who have made sure he is remembered.

Thanks to Phil and Lisa Taylor and all of those connected to this incredible event.  We are humbled beyond words.
