Another anniversary, the seventh, is here and sometimes it's hard to imagine the pain of loss ever diminishing.
Mattie was not just a huge part of our lives, he gave it length and breadth and depth.
He gave it colour.
We are learning to live a very different life to that we hoped for.
We are learning to release feelings of disappointment, and replace them with the realisation of Matthew's achievements during his short life.
We are learning to appreciate that many others are traveling on this road.
And that we have made remarkable progress
We are learning to talk to each other about our pain, and understand our differences.
We are learning to trust that Matt is in a far better place.
But it doesn't stop the missing...
With Jesus in Paradise,
until we meet again,
Love you, infinity and beyond.
Mum and Dad
