Matthew James Gramlich

My friend just had a baby.  I took care of her all summer because it was a high risk pregnancy.  She had the baby on Wednesday, and his name is Matthew.  I could not be more excited :) I hope he is just like you.  Miss you & love you forever xoxo

All you wanted was for me to tell you that I loved you.  I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you.  I can't say it enough.  I would give anything for you to come back.  I miss you. 

Hey Matt,

It's been 4 long years since you left us. Gosh how I wish you were still here. I miss you alot. It's been very hard on your Mom and Ron. I know that you are with Grandma and Grandpa, and Jesus.

I know someday I will see you again...but for now you will always live in my heart.

R.I.P Matt.

I remember the first time I met Matt the date however I don't remember. I was always getting picked on by the jocks, they would call me names and they would just say really mean things to and about me but the first day I met Matt was different. I was walking to one of my classrooms but in order for me to get to my class I had to walk past a group of jocks and when i did one slammed me into a locker and another one hit my book and binder out of my hands and my papers went all over the place...every one in the hall stepped on my papers and laughed...all except for one person. That one person was Matt. He stopped and helped me pick my stuff up and he helped me get my papers organized and in the right spots. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile back. His face was the first sweet and kind face I saw in that entire school. That day had stuck with me to this day and the day he died i had Geometry A first thing in the morning so i walked to my class and sat down in my seat and waited for the announcements to start and when they did they announced that Matt had died and i just lost it! I started crying because he was the first person to ever help me out and that one day he helped me meant the world to me and when they announced that he died it was like my whole world came crashing down and I was crying off and on all day. I would stop crying for like 5 minutes but then I would start crying again. I have been depressed ever since then because that one small gesture of kindness really made me feel special. I mean I know he was nice to every one but I was the type of person that no one really ever cared about and who they would just laugh at so his kindness that day really made my days at school so much better. And I never really got the chance to tell him thank you and to tell him how much that meant to me....
R.I.P Matt You Will Be Forever Missed But NEVER EVER Forgotten!
