Matthew was in a fatal car accident on the 27th May 2007 in Halifax.
He was a soldier in the Duke of Wellingtons regiment and wore his uniform with pride.
He was so gentle and caring and was known for his cheeky smile.
Matthew had a great love of animals and for this he was nicknamed by his army friends as Dr
Dolittle.
His other great love was Huddersfield Town FC. He used to say "it's football or nothing"
He will be missed terribly but,will always be the centre of the thoughts of everyone who loved him
so very much.
Feel no guilt in laughter, he knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he’s not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, he would not want you to
He’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here
And fills you with the feelings that he is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And he will live forever locked safe within your heart.

ANGEL
Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an earth
bound angel. They are unable to stay with us for long, but
while they do, they bring unprecedented joy and happiness to
all they touch. While they are here, we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they
leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing
such a wonderful being... but we must remember... the earth
bound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy,
learn from, and behold until they return home.

Is a gift to you above..
With it's wings of many colours
Made with love
You fly high..
Just like this beautiful butterfly
You fly past the stars..
And up to the moon
Oh why sweet angel..
Was you gone too soon?
You spread your wings..
Just like this beautiful butterfly
Go fly through the clouds
And up to the sky
With not a care..
You fly free
And if you can..
Fly home to me

TO WISH YOU A GOOD MORNING, WITH MY LOVE. X
♥
♥TIME♥
I thought that time was healing
All the hurt you left behind
That empty spaces could be filled
My arms, my heart, my mind.
And though my body looks the same
As it did when you were here
The emptiness is growing
Even bigger with each tear.
I thought that time was healing
All the agonizing pain
That as the tears were fading
Soon I wouldn't feel the same.
And though I can be smiling
And you think that I'll survive
The pain is in my blood now
I have nowhere else to hide.
I thought that time was healing
All the loss a mother feels
That now you live within my heart
I had you near me still.
But I need so much to touch you
To see you smile again
And those memories I'm told are mine
Can never feel the same.
I thought that time was healing
All the while the mask was worn
That underneath a new me
Was waiting to be born.
But now I find I am the mask
It helps to keep me safe
And though my heart is breaking
You won't see it in my face.
I thought that time was healing
All those tears my eyes have seen
That aching arms that miss you
Could be satisfied with dreams.
But here I am, in pain again
And healing stands alone
And mother weeps the world can see
For a son who can't come home♥
