If you are doom scrolling and read nothing else, PLEASE PLEASE skip to the bottom of this as that is the most important part.
Every year I write this post and every year it brings a washing machine of emotions and feelings in me. Some of them sad and negative, and whilst it still hurts as time passes I find more n more of the memories of Matt are belly laugh funny (some illegal 🫣😂) but a lot more positive as time passes. Not to say I don't miss him still as hardly a week goes by without some wind up, photograph, phrase he used, song on radio or just general thought of him crosses my mind. In these memories he will remain with us forever.
Every year I debate whether to keep my own counsel and not share it, but then I realise if this helps one person or prevents one more person going the same way then it's worth putting it out there.
13 yrs ago today the world became a little dimmer, but it will never be extinguished, remember the world is it a brighter place with you in it and you are enough!
Please, please talk and share your feelings you are not a burden, you are a gift.
