Why do the good die young. Why do the people who don't deserve death, have the worst fate. Why do people leave us so young. NO, why are people taken from us so young. Why was that day so different from any other day you drove that road. What was so different. You were almost to school. What was wrong with that turn. What happened to your car. Why you of all people. I don't understand. I can only wonder. I will never get all those answers. Because you are gone, and no one else can answer them. Why is my future husband gone. Do you remember that day. Steph convinced you and Mitch to drive her to Pittsburgh for a show. None of you guys even told your parents where you were going. You all just came to Pittsburgh. Alexis Brandon, and I got you in the front. I know you remember everything, because we used to talk about it all the time. For some reason that morning while I was getting ready for school, I picked up the hoodie I got that day and wore it. It was the first time I had worn it in over six months. Now I know I had a reason to wear it. Why out of everyone in the world why did you have to die. That sounds to selfish, but it's true. The kid who never did anything wrong. The kid that was friends with EVERYONE. I just wish I would of told you how I felt about you, I wish I could tell you now. I wish I could tell you a lot of things, and I know a lot of other people fell the same way. We all wish you would come back. We all wish we woke up Friday morning and Thursday was a dream. But we all woke up Friday, and we didn't get our wish. I wish, I just wish I hung out with you more. Talked to you more. We had a good streak going on then we just stopped. I wish we hadn't. I know there are a lot of good kids, fun kids, likeable kids out there. but if I honestly had to pick the best one for the title it was you. You gave people reasons to wake up in the morning, reasons to smile and laugh. The class of '08 from, Brockway, Dubois, and Central dedicte our year to you. Because we are one Graduate short because God decided to take an amazing person away from us, but don't worry. You'll walk down the isle with all of us. No one will ever forget you Matt. It's inpossible. and everyone will forever miss you, and love you. I just wish none of this ever happened.
I love you Matt.
