Matt, you are a rock; a boulder; a tower of strength. I know I can depend on you to protect me if the shit hits the fan. I know you will help me if anything goes wrong. I know you are there... which is more than I can say for most of the men that have been in my life. Thank you for the faith you have given me in men. You know I don't trust lightly but I do trust you. You are good and wonderful man. And always remember, Jen and I love the buddah bellies of the world so don't change it for us cause we wouldn't change it for the world :-) In fact the only mantra you need to remember is, "Love ya, mean it, don't ever change..."

For a man who is more stubborn than he is smart, (and hey that is a lot), you are one of the only men that has come into my life that I have no fear or doubt that you will leave. I can not thank you completely for the love, caring, courage, knowledge, support, and confidence that you have shown to not only myself but for my family as a whole.

You allow people to think that there is nothing to you other than your gruff exterior, but I will always know that under it all is nothing short of a HEART IF GOLD!!!

I truly love you in my life! I would not be the same person without you!!!!

And thank you World for putting Jen into your life!!!!! You deserve to be happy!!

Trust is something that I do not give easily...

Matt is someone that I trust completely. He is loyal and dedicated beyond compare. This man would walk through hell to help a friend, and he would think nothing of it, because to him it is simply what you do for the people that you love.

He is my dear friend, and I am truly blessed to have him in my life!
