A year without Matt

   It's hard to imagine this year, 2013, without Matt.
   A year of firsts.
   January 16,  our first birthday without you.
   No Happy Valentine's Day, Ma.
   No Easter Basket filled with your favorite skittles and
   No Happy Birthday, Ma.
   No Happy Mother's Day and another mirrored mother's day item
   No Culture Camp with a smiling Games Teacher
   No 4th of July with someone shooting off all his fireworks at our Spread Eagle home
   No SeaDoo going flat out dragging his brother on the tube
   No fishing from our pontoon
   No Gorilla handing out candy on Halloween
   No Sunday Packer games together
   No stuffing made at Thanksgiving
   No more skittles in the stockings for St. Nick's Day
   No Christmas gifts
   No New Year's Eve
 

I will always miss your smiling face.
I will always miss your intensity
I will always miss how obnoxious you were when you didn't get what you wanted

I won't miss the hospitals
