Time to break the silence

I know that I have not posted in quite a while.  January has been interesting to say the least, but there will be more on that to come.

Instead, I wanted to break my silence by reminiscing about my brother. Six years ago today, my brother Matt passed away suddenly, and very unexpectedly.  He was just sixteen days shy of his 18th birthday.  Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Matt.  I talk to him every day.  I miss him every day.  For those of you reading this that knew him, I guarantee your life was touched by him in some way.  (Please feel to share it with me.)  For those of you who did not have the pleasure of knowing him, you will find it difficult to find someone whose life he did not touch.  Just ask around.  You’ll see.

He was my best friend.  He was my hero.  He is my hero.

In closing, I will say to you all the last thing I say before I go to sleep each night.  I love you, Matt.
