R.I.P. Matty

Sweet little Matty lost his battle earlier today. He fought so long, and for so hard, he has now earnt his rest in Heaven. His parents, Johnny and Sandy, and his brothers, Chris and Zach, are now adjusting to a new normal - life without their gorgeous little Matty. If you get a chance, please drop by their site and leave them a note - I'm sure they'd appreciate it. His website is www.caringbridge.org/visit/matty.

To Matty's family ... Though many of us never had the fortune to meet Matty, or any of the Dubuc family, we grieve the loss of a very special, very beautiful child. We cry, because we love him for what he showed us - he showed us hope, courage, dignity, grace, strength, and how to believe. We cry, because we loved him after he won our hearts, and because Matty was an amazing child. We cry, because we know that Earth is a lesser place for having lost such a wonderful spirit. We cry, because we love all of you and we know the pain that you are in at the moment is unfair, and unfixable. We cry because you cry. We cry because we want Matty back. We cry because we miss him.
To Sandy and Johnny, Chris and Zach ... Although many of us are simply internet friends, we love you. We love Matty. Our thoughts are with you, and your extended family at this time. It must feel like hell on earth to know that your gorgeous little man is no longer here.
Matty, keep an eye on your family, huh? They're missing you so bad. Let them know you're never far away.

** Added @ 9:35 pm - I have just learned that Blair, another gorgeous CaringBridge angel, has also gone to heaven. Blair had leukemia, but has also been battling with RSV and lungs that tried and tried to heal, but just couldn't. Fly free Blair, you no longer have pain, or sadness or sickness in you life. If you'd like to leave a message of support for Blair's family, her website is www.caringbridge.org/visit/blair
