I was looking to see who was having a birthday today and I saw it was Luvpain/Matt's birthday. The realization that I will not meet him has hit home again. Being without pain and in a wonderful place is a great way to spend the anniversary of your birth but for those left behind I am sure it is a hard day. Bobbie and OBB I know Matt is an important part of your life and a good friend and for all the others that had an opportunity to meet him I hope you can have joy in happy memmories.

At the August MOM I think some time should be dedicated for Matt in his memory.

I tried to avoid starting a post about Matt's birthday. He will be surely missed around our house and in this site. He made so many friends in the EA.

Being pain free has to be the best birthday present he could ever ask for.

When Glider's (from iam or BME website) robot sent me a message three days ago that Matt's birthday was coming up, it was hard to take. Just walking into his bedroom is a cold feeling. I do miss him. He was my best friend and someone that I will never forget. My life has certainly changed in the last 5 years and Matt had a big part in that. I do not regret becoming a Eunuch, I only wished I had done it sooner.

I am just glad I got to meet him, not once, but twice at the MOM's . I will miss him dearly at the MOM's and being around. But, as Bobbie and others said, "He is Free"!!

I never met Matt but his birthday is a celebration of his life and all the freinds he made. Even though he is gone in body his spirit lives on.

At MOM in Aug there will be some time set aside to remember our friend.
