My goodness, has it been a year.. what a kind man he was, I know he continues on in his works, from his living years... in the people he knew, the people he touched from day to day, in real life, as well as virtual...
I had joined CD when MoMark (Matthew) passed because of emails on his computer asking where he was. I looked up his posts, never having contributed to a forum before, and was drawn to interact with those who had been his real and/or virtual friends. You all had, and continue to, impress me with your caring and continued thoughts of him. MoMark was Matt to me and so dear and fun loving. When I would pick up the phone and call him out of the blue we would talk as though we had just seen each other the other day. He was so well read and truly funny and insightful. You are friends anyone would be proud to have and thank you so much from me, his mother and family.
Thanks for posting RebOver! I pray that you and your family are doing well since your brothers' passing 1 1/2 yrs ago . Did the family end up selling Matthews' home in Missouri? The last pics I remember of the house are of the ice storm with all the trees down.
Hello HDL and MoMark's friends. We sold Matthew's home just two weeks ago. From his passing until now my mother would travel to MO and stay in the home. We'd left it furnished and comfortable for visiting while it was listed. In September I'd returned to the home with our Mom. She and I stayed a week relaxing, reading and visiting with the next-door neighbors who have become as dear to us as they were to Matthew. Staying in his home with his furnishings felt as though I were truly visiting him. I felt him when I was washing the mildew off the bottom of the garage doors. In my heart I felt him say, "Thanks Becky" in the quietly casual way he had when he was really touched. It felt great to have stayed there and marked a real turning point in our missing him. The hole in our worlds will always be there but the sharp pain of the loss has lessened by accepting his being at peace.
Our best to you all.
Sincerely,
Reb
Thank you Rebover for posting about your brother. I still miss him and think about him. He was so funny and so smart. Sometimes a post will come up he did and it always makes me smile. I know he loved his family so much, he talked a lot about your daughter. He touched my life in such a special way, part of him will always live in my heart!
