"If you look into the distance,
There's a house upon the hill,
Guiding like a lighthouse..."
Beckett
Dear Boyo,
If you're reading this, then I am truly gone. It breaks my heart to be writing these letters to you all, but writing yours gives me a refounding sense of peace. And I'll tell you why.
First and foremost, I want you to understand the importance of cherishing every moment and embracing the beauty of life. It's a precious gift, and it's up to you to make the most of it, son.
In a world that can sometimes be harsh and unforgiving, your kindness will be a beacon of light for those around you. My granddaughter especially.
With that, remember to love. Love is the greatest gift we can give and receive, and it makes life worth living. I leave this world, knowing I have loved and been loved in return, and it's truly the best feeling.
Back to that refounding sense of peace you give me. I've watched you grow into a respectable young man, Beckett. One I am extremely proud to call my own. I've watched you love my granddaughter from afar for years before this one. Which is why I trust you to do right by her. If there is anyone worthy of her, it's you, boyo. She looks at you like you hung the moon and the stars, and you look at her the same way. Reminds me of myself and Julia when we were young. The dashing, stubborn girl, and the boy hopelessly in love with her. Remember if you are ever lucky enough to come across something so beautiful it shifts your whole world, don't ever let that go, Beckett.
It breaks my heart to know how much of your lives I will be missing. But it gives me comfort knowing you all have each other to depend on.
Promise me that you stick together, no matter what. You all are family above anything else. One I am damn proud to call my own.
Play your future seasons with pride, Beckett. And know I am watching from above, cheering even louder than I used to. And for Christ sake, take Beau to school with you. Have Bailey and Wren watch him on weekends when you're away. He'd be a mess without you, boyo.
I wish you the best in everything you do, Beckett. I really do. I love you, son.
P.S. Marry my granddaughter one day, will ya?
Love,
Grandpa Matt
