Right now, I really miss being home, I miss my friends, miss my family... this is hard... I've got tears rolling down my face, it's just so hard to be so far away... missing the people that I love, missing watching my brothers and sister grow up, missing my mom, my dad, my step-mom... I miss everyone more than I can describe, I love you all... I want to read what I wrote and really sit and think about how lucky we are... where we live, who we know, who we love; I hope it brings tears to your eyes too, because life is too short to worry about the small petty things, you have to keep those family and friends you have as close as you can, and cherish every moment...
This is what I wrote in my card to a very special person,
There's only so many words, so many ways to describe and show how I've felt these past 5 years; there will never be enough words or ways to express it. You are my inspiration and I hope you know how much I miss you. I think about you for at least a moment or two each day. Wondering how you are, worrying if you're down. I look at your picture, each day when I wake, when I go to bed; it reminds me just how great life can be. How lucky I am ot have the family I have, how lucky I am to know you. I wish I could be part of your daily life more, but it's ok because I keep you close. You're in my thoughts and most importantly, in my heart- no matter what happens.
Have a great Christmas, remember to keep those that you love in your heart. Family and friends are the greatest gift life has to offer.
Forever yours, Matt
I really do miss and love you all, even if we haven't talked since high school ended... I hope everyone has a great Christmas, and please, please, I can't ask enough, just take a moment or two on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Morning, to just look at everyone around and realize how much they love you, how much they mean to you... we don't do it enough and you don't learn to really appreciate it until you're away for months at a time (when you only see a few people in 2 weeks out of a year).
