3000th post.
This post is in loving memory of my buddy Matt Martin, who passed away in the prime of his life last week. I wish that I could believe that he was in heaven now with his father who died of cancer when Matt was a teenager...but...alas, I am an atheist/recovered catholic and will just have to do my part to remember him as he was. A hard playing, fast living, loving friend, father and husband... and very very special person who I am honored to have been able to call "one of my best friends".
I'll miss you Matty Magoo. ( heh...we called him Mr. Magoo since he was such a crazy driver  ...He insisted however that we stop calling him Matty [which we did to diffentiate between him and I in conversations] after we gradutated from HS.)Fondly, Me. Matty is in the black shirt.  *signing off for the night...need to go feel sad for a bit again* But very very warm thanks to all of the monkeys that sent such kind thoughts (and prayers) to my friend, his familly and I.

I don't know what to say..
You were lucky to know him, and he was lucky to have a friend like you. Hugs and kisses. |

I want to say something to you... congratulations doesn't seem quite right... This is very touching and I'm sorry that you weren't able to celebrate your 3,000th post in a different way.
I hope your pain and grief pass away soon, and only happy memories remain.
