Dear Matt...

I've had a couple of exciting days!

I went driving yesterday!

By myself!!

Well, not really by myself. I did have my instructor with me.

He was very nice, put me at ease right away.

I did drive all up University to Power to Baseline to Lindsay and on home by myself!!

BY MYSELF!!!

Oh Boo, you would have been so proud of me.

Actually, I know you ARE proud of me.

I do regret not doing this while you were alive.

I know this was the only thing you really wanted me to do.

But I hope you can rest easy now, knowing that I will do this and gain some more independence.

I will be able to take care of myself.

You don't have to worry about me, Boo.

I will take care of myself.

I promise.

Tonight Kate, Clark, Meg, Spencer, Linc, Beth and I all hung out.

We made dinner and Rocked the Band!

Oh, we had so much fun!

Kate and I sang Roxanne in your honor and got 100%!!

Granted, it was on easy, but still...

I missed you tonight thought.

Amid all the laughter and love, you were still missing.

You will always be missing.

Oh Boo, you would have had a blast tonight!

Kate and Meg made me laugh so hard, I almost died from a coughing fit!!

AND they almost made me pee my pants!

Your nieces are a Godsend to me.

Thank you for giving me your family.

At least I have that little part of you that I can still touch.

But I hope you know that you will always be in my heart.

Always, Boo.

Always.

Me
