| Hi! I am Michelle and I am going to tell you our story. Matthew was born Decemeber 11, 1989...There was alot of snow on the ground that day. He was born in Wilson NC. It took about 45 minutes to get their from our home. All the way there I looked out the window of the car at the snow. All over the ground it was so white and cold. Anyway, I got there and I had a very hard time having Matthew. We both almost died that cold snowy day. But we made it. Thank God. God granted me 8 years with Matthew. Matt was a great son and person. I thank God every day for the time I had with him. I am so grateful that God chose me to be his Mother. He loved everyone. He did so very well in school. He liked to go hunting and fishing with his Dad. Matthew loved the outdoors. He played ball, rode his skate board and bike all the time. The summer of 1998 we got some horses. He justed love to ride them. He learned how to ride his horse really well. After learning how to ride we went into training for the big parade. Matthew was going to ride his horse in it. After a month had went by, Septemember 25, 1998, Matthew and the girls went to school. While the kids were at school me and a friend took the horse and our things to were we would be staying that weekend. We were waiting on the kids to get home from school. Finally, the school bus came and Matthew just jumped off the bus and came running to go take his horse to the camp site. So we all loaded up and off we went. Who was to know that day was going to change my life forever. The friend we had went with was driving when she lost control of her truck...it flipped and things happened so fast. Just like that it was over. The wreck took my sons life. Matthew died while saving his younger brother. This is the day my son became an Angel. He will forever be the sunshine in my life. |
