“Denver Queen of the Plains “

I attended a friend’s wedding in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this weekend. He and I have been friends since I started seminary school in Dallas, TX, in 2013. We kept in touch for the past 10 years. He looked so happy, and his bride is absolutely stunning.

I was invited to attend, and so was Matt. Every time Matt and I had a wedding to attend, we were each other’s wedding partners. This was the first time Matt was not my wedding partner, and this may have been the last event we planned with each other in 2025.
This was not an easy thing to face but I think I’m facing my grief well. I believe going on these trips has “helped” me to understand all this …more, over time. I appreciate everyone who check in to see how I’m doing.

This post is in no way to feel sorry about a situation that none of us can control, but what I can control is my outcome of how I handle it. I’m just open about what I do and how I feel to process the loss of a person who was special to me. And there is nothing wrong with that. If you are dealing with loss. I hope you are well. Healing takes time, time takes healing.

I Love you, Matt. 🍁
So many of us sure do miss you. taken in Denver, Colorado by @msava_la

Cali, it’s been fun. I always considered Los Angeles as my 2nd home. I’m truly thankful for this trip that was much needed. It’s definitely opened up my eyes about life, Matt going home and most importantly that Christ loves this city. I’m thankful for the new friends I met, the conversations I had with random people. I visited the three things I love about LA. Echo Park, The Dodgers and Santa Monica Beach. I definitely enjoyed my time of healing all in a city that I love the most. Till next time, LA. It’s been real. ✌🏽 taken in Santa Monica, California by @msava_la

On May 31, I turned 41 years of age.

Last year Matt called me to wish me a happy birthday, and we made plans to come to Los Angeles and celebrate because I wanted to do something fun and different.

This was my first time ever visiting Dodgers Stadium, and since it’s my first time here, I wanted to include Matt, so l got his last name customized on an MLB Dodgers jersey with his birth year as his number.

Matt knew I absolutely love the LA Dodgers; I would talk his ear off about them.
I can honestly say that I didn’t not allow sadness or depression to ruin this for me. I almost felt as if Matt was there and if he was, we had a great time.

I Love you, Matt! 🍁

Want an experience! The energy here is incredible. We won, Hun!

Today would have been Matt’s 46th birthday.

Matt and I visited OKC nearly every weekend when he lived in Amarillo.
I remember he took me to Skydance Bridge on a windy, sunny Saturday afternoon, just like today. I told Matt, “We’re gonna get us a lock with our names on it” and Matt replied, “Well, I don’t see why not”

The lock I got customized has the initials:
N.N LOVE.L.T.B, which stands for “Never kNew LOVE Like This Before.”
A song performed by Stephanie Mills.

The lock came with three keys. I will keep one and the others I am giving to my mom & Matts mother.

I think about Matt often and I am doing the best I can. I believe Matt would be proud of me.
Though Matt is not here to witness this, I know without a doubt that this would have made him feel special.
Happy Birthday, Matt. I love you. 🍁
I miss you abundantly. 💛💛🪽 taken in Skydance Bridge by @msava_la

I went to visit Matt's mom this weekend. This was the first time I had seen her since Matt's memorial service.

I have been here plenty of times in the past with Matt; he would show me all the places he would hang out at. The town is small but Matt had many memories here. I remember him telling me that the day he graduated high school, he took off immediately to OKC.

While I was here to check in on his mother, I figured I'd make the rounds and see other parts that we never visited.

You know…
It's only been four months, and this feeling of void from him no longer being here is still harsh; mentally, it's torture. I understand that these feelings are a normal part of the grieving process.

I felt it was my responsibility to seek out and create moments of joy, and being in his hometown brought me a sense of closeness to him.
I love you, Matt. Always. 🍁 taken in Wewoka, Oklahoma by @msava_la

It’s January.

The beginning of a new year has always been difficult for me since I was a kid. I’m not sure why. I guess it’s because we live in a culture that says “new year, new beginnings.”
I’ve never agreed with that. I’ve always thought every day is a new beginning.

But..
It’s a new year and this new beginning is going to be a challenge. All I can do at this point is take it one day at a time.

I love you, Matt 🍁 @mattthebrat1 taken in Amarillo, Texas by @msava_la
