Even though you see a smile, your heart still aches. |
I didn't carry on very well the first three or four months. Then one day I decided it was time for me to go back to work. And really, I think it's become my safe haven. |
I honestly thought he'd be back by now. |
I wonder if he hears the bombs of the soldiers and their rifles. |
Is this the day Matt will call and tell me he's coming home? Is this the day the Army will call and tell me he's dead? |
It's a lot of money, but we are determined to do this, to remember those who have given their lives. |
The information we received was helpful and it showed the Army is actively following up leads concerning his whereabouts. |
They had been putting out posters with a very dark picture of Matt that didn't look much like him. We wanted to send a poster with better pictures. |
Twice now they've dropped the ball where we've learned about something happening with our son from other sources, like the media. There's no excuse to put a family through this. |
We put 10 pictures inside each box with a little note asking them to please help us find him, and also thanking them for defending our freedom. |
We will not let Matt be forgotten. I don't want him left behind. I don't want him left there. |
