One of the last trips I took with Matthew was July 21, 2013. We went back home to Georgia from Texas, and it was a father son trip. Matthew drove his car, and I was happy that he did because it meant that I could just sit back and enjoy the trip and not stress about driving. While we were home we went to my grandfather's old barn because I wanted a piece of barn wood to make a wood project. The barn was 80 years old, dusty, and weathered. Now Matthew Loved his car, and he kept it in prestige condition and when I tore off a three-foot board, it took some fast talking and some pleading on my part for him to allow this board in his car. He took off his shirt and made me take off mine, just so we could wrap it up so as not to get the carpet dirty. I brought that piece of board home with me to Texas with the intention of making something out of it. Then when Matt was killed that 3-foot board became very precious and I could not bring myself to touch it... That is until today. Today this father cut a piece of that plank in honor of my son. I have never been prouder to have been his father and sometimes all you can hold on to is a moment in time. This was made from that board and that memory will be with me till I die. – Jeff
