We LoVE YOU.

Today, it was two years since Matt passed on.

Each time I stop and think of him, I feel him directly in the center of my heart and that feeling expands outward in radiant joy and love. Our deep friendship fills me with so much gratitude and I can feel him so vividly even if he's not there. That's the beauty of having loved so fully. I sit still sometimes and can feel his hands in my hands, I can hear him talking to me and I can see his loving and glowing blue eyes. It's so comforting to know that he is always there whenever I need him. And that is the power and freedom in dealing with losing a loved one. We can choose to see and feel their presence in our life as being limitless and living outside of time or space. We can be with them any time we want.

And he inspires me so much still. Every LoVE pin I see or memory of what a genuine and generous friend he was, reminds me of the beauty of being present and being love. He was just that. I still ask myself, What would Matt do?, because whatever the answer, I know it will be in Love.

Below is a video created by his sister Jess of all of the lives he touched with his sign, all of the LoVE he spread and continues to spread. And because his LoVE sign was inspired by his love for Dave Matthews, I also included the dedication Dave made to him at a show shortly after.

We LoVE You, Matt and we thank you for how you touched all of our lives with your bright spirit.

Love is You.
