i'm so shooken up that it's even hard for me to type. i'm so speechless that i don't even know why i'm making this pathetic attempt to write in this thing. i can't believe this happened to him. he was so young and innocent and had so much to live for. why did this happen to him? why was he in the wrong place at the wrong time. it just makes you think, that you can blink and this can be you. it just takes a millisecond. he was such a loved kid, so full of life and just a fun person to be around. when we were waiting to walk into the funeral home, we just talked about him. we sat there and talked about all the fun times we had with him. it just put smile on my face and brought tears to my eyes at the same time. mag told us that he had mentioned our names that night. me meg patrice and jimmy. he asked how we were doing. that put my heart in my throat. i just couldn't hold it in when she told me that.
matt i know i have said it a thousand times, but you were an amazing person. you were loved by everyone, and you touched so many people. you're missed by every single person who you ever met. rest in peace, Matthew H. Valenza. you're in our hearts forever.
