Matthew Sanford Key

SMILING

one thousand. reminds me of when Matt brought full payment of a 4 book deal to the office, in as small a bills as the credit union had- cleaned em out of 10s 20' and 50's i think he said!---we had $4000 of all kinds of bills ALL over the 10th floor palace of art and design!! i still have a polaroid of it in my office here!

1000

You were on my mind last night! Couldn't stop the tears from falling.

We made it to 1000 comments! It really shows how important you were to all of us. You were the rock of this family. You always had the most Godly advice. I'm so blessed and thankful that I can call you my family. Miss you so much Matt! We are so ready to see you! I love you!!!!

Sad...

Wide awake at 4:00 am, wishing you were laying next to me. I don't think the pain will ever go away, I feel so lost without you in my life, I still can't believe your never coming home. I know your in a much better place so that helps when the pain is unbearable. I wish you knew how much I miss you, I love you so much, always have and always will. I can't wait to see your face again and feel your arms around me, I miss your hugs so so much. Hopefully soon...

Hey dad,
can't sleep.. all I can do is think how much I miss you.. it seriously feels like I haven't seen or talked to you in so long. I hate that feeling. Part of me would give anything to have you back, but the other part knows you so deserve to be in Heaven. I cannot wait to see you though! It makes me smile just thinking about it!
There's just so much I wish I could share with you.
Hhh. I really do miss you a lot.
I still hope it's soon.. We all do.
I love you, dad!!

#999 - Msk - 01/24/2012 - 01:04

Oh how I miss you...

#998 - Robin - 01/22/2012 - 19:09

A blessed day

What a pretty day it was, thought to myself what would Matt be doing today. I spent most the day outside thanking the lord for such a blessed day he made.

#997 - ~me~ - 01/19/2012 - 17:17

Goodnight, I love you so much...

#996 - Robin - 01/17/2012 - 21:55

Hi Matt,

Tell Jesus I said hello. Can't wait to see you both.

I don't want to go another year without seeing you, without hearing your voice, without hugging your neck...without your wisdom. I miss you so much and just really wish I could talk to you. Soon...

Love you so much and miss you terribly.

#991 - Brooke - 01/03/2012 - 14:03

#990 - ~me~ - 12/31/2011 - 20:57

Random.

randomly came across the website again n just thought I might as well say I was here. I love you Keys! N Matt, I know next time I pass by the office I'll still think you're in there doing work.. But your office is just a lil higher up now huh? (And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15 NKJV) ) I know you did this all the time, I just pray I can follow suit..
Have fun with Jesus!

#989 - SmAbi - 12/29/2011 - 23:58

Christmas...

We finally had christmas here at home since you went to be with Jesus. It was hard not having you here, to do all the things we usually do, but you would have been happy we were all together. Matthew I just hope we are in heaven with you and Jesus next Christmas, you are so missed, hopefully soon. I love you so much...

#988 - Robin - 12/26/2011 - 15:44

A day

Well hurry things along if you can...my girls are getting to that age that I really wanted you here to help me get through. Hannah got her first Christmas present from a boy. The funny thing is..

#987 - George - 12/25/2011 - 20:20

I love you dad, Merry Christmas!

#986 - Mckinzie Royer - 12/24/2011 - 14:13

Christmas eve

It's Christmas eve, and I can't sleep. Listening to air1, and think about heaven and how it's gonna be to live there being able to see Jesus and talk with him everyday. That just puts the biggest smile on my face. What's it like in heaven on Christmas morning, wonder what is being sung. Merry Chrismas Matt. What a day it will be to finely see everyone.

#985 - ~me~ - 12/24/2011 - 02:13

Merry Christmas! What's up? How are you doing?

#984 - Jaiden key - 12/23/2011 - 09:16

Each day is a little harder especially around Christmas, oh how I miss you.
I love you, hopefully soon, tomorrow would be nice.

#983 - Robin - 12/19/2011 - 17:22

A BACKFLIP in your honor

since i can't do one----i'll have to do a summersault...backwards.
Luke ----my apologies -- you were probably IN. the suit was a beautiful thing. i loved hearing stuff like ''why is the suit playing QB--he's really quick, they need him running routes." never did i hear ''what is he doing in a suit?"
i smile a warm smile. Matt woulda been proud!.

love younz'all.

#965 - gary - 11/09/2011 - 08:55

#964 - Keith - 11/09/2011 - 08:24

Happy Birthday...

Wow you've spent four birthday's with Jesus, how amazing for you. Another hard day for me and the kids, we would be planning a party for you, or a trick or two, we miss that and you sooo much. I can only imagine what this time away has been for you, glorious I'm sure. Wish we could all be there with you. Matthew I was just sitting here looking at one of your pictures still not believing your gone from this life, but at least I have the reassurance your life lives on in heaven, and we will be with you again one day, so that's what gets me through this life here without you. So Happy Birthday Matthew, I love you more then words could ever say, hope you have an awesome party today if you celebrate birthday's. Hopefully soon, cuz I miss you so much.

#963 - Robin - 11/09/2011 - 08:04

A Dream

Dad, watched that movie that reminds me of you. The dream about his father especially. You know the one...
"Had a dream about my father. It was like we were both back in the older times, and I was on horse back going through the mountains in the night. Going through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground.
He rode past me and kept on going, never said nothing goin by just rode on past.
He had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down. When he rode past I could see he was carrying fire in a horn the way people used to do. I could see the horn from the light inside it, it was about the color of the moon. In the dream I knew he was goin on ahead and he was fixin to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold. And I knew that whenever I got there he would be there...and then I woke up."
Dad I know you are waiting for me and I can't wait to see you again.
