Title: Hi Guys
Post by Maffumatt on Sep 17^th, 2007, 3:13pm

I'm at a friends house and he was kind enough to allow me the use of his computer. We are leaving tonight for that long ride to California, one we made many times before, but this one will be like no other. This last month has beendifficult yet the most rewarding in my life and I will cherish this time for the rest of my life. At the end of this trip I get to see my parents wed again, they divorced in 88, and this will be the first time my whole family has been together since 1994. I do know this, I hope when my time comes that I have as good and as many friends as my dad has. This last week has been full of good byes and tears and for the first time in my life I have seen my father for the man he is and not just Pop. I want to thank those that sent cards and esp Barbara D, she is truely a wonderful woman. You guys be well.
Matt

Just try to take it all in as best you can right now, Matt. There'll be plenty of time to reminisce later. Bless your heart for being there for your dad.

Good to hear from you, Matt.

Have a safe trip--and take your time if you can. Driving is good for thinking things over, and talking things out.

Best wishes,

George

This is Helen, you're taking a lot of love with you Matt, those of us who met Craig love him dearly and those of us who only know you will be holding you up as long as you need us. Give Craig my love, my life is richer for knowing him and God bless and Godspeed to you all.

With love, as always,

Dearest Matt,

Your dad's story reduced both Daniel and myself to tears, it is just so beautiful.

Please tell your dad and your mum that they have 2 admirers here in Sydney who are sending best wishes and lots of love.

Ok, so let's see -- Matt is going to be the maid of honor at the wedding and Craig has a pretty pink dress all picked out for him (Matt looks good in pink - even shaved off his mustash for the occassion).....

Seriously, safe trip to you both and a time to cherish. Godspeed....

We made it OK, only got pulled over once in El Paso, was let off with a warning. We drove straight through. Pop slept most of the way and my brother drove most of the way. We made good time, only took us 21 hours. In the morning we are going to take a drive up to the mesa and down the valley to see my uncle. We took I20 to I10 so we never got close to you Nani, Dad wanted to see Texas Canyon one more time. I fly back Monday. Be well guys.

Bless you Matt and happy wedding bells. Call me when you get back to Texas.

And give that old grumpy crumdungon a big hug for me at the wedding. Tell him I love him (oh heck, that's what you're supposed to do at a wedding. ;;D )

Hugs BD
